The magnetic voice fluttered in the night wind, making Lydia's heart flutter and uncontrollable, and it took a long time before she spoke out quietly, "Do you do the same to other women?" Are they all like me who can't say no to you and fall into the sweet trap? ”

This is probably the reason why she resists the most, Li Jie is too charming, and she has heard of some of the things that are heartfelt. As a proud and famous lady, Lydia's self-esteem made her a little difficult to accept.

Finally, I can't help but say it?

Li Jie smiled slightly, put down the wine glass in his hand, wiped his mouth with a napkin, stood up and walked to Lydia's side, took her hand gentlemanly, picked her up and walked to the edge of the garden. In the height of summer, the top floor is very cool and pleasant, and the special design of the sky garden also makes it impossible for those sitting inside to feel how windy it is. But when you stand on the edge of the roof, you can feel the strong wind blowing in front of you.

Rows of skyscrapers, busy streets, and brightly lit skylines, the Manhattan financial district and the entire bustling New York city are all in view, as if they are all prostrate at their feet.

Lydia looked at Li Jie with some confusion, not quite understanding what he meant.

"I like to stand on a high ground because it gives me a broader, more holistic view of the world." Li Jie gently hugged Lydia and said in a calm voice. "There is a great artist of mankind who once said, everything_in_the_world_is_about_pt_sex.sex_is_about_power. Note 1) Lydia, what do you think? ”

"Is it Oscar? Oscar Wilde said it. For the discussion of ** and human nature, it seems to be a little too extreme. Lydia furrowed her eyebrows slightly, looking disagreeable.

"I think it's more appropriate to explain it as sex itself. You see, in the earliest times, primitive men and women passed through sex. The next generation is born, and after reproduction, human society is born; In order to get the opportunity to have sex with women, men must compete with other men, and it is difficult to achieve it by getting injured or dying at every turn. In order not to work so hard, they created politics; The woman tells the man that he must have prey to agree to sex, so the man goes out hunting, and the excess prey is exchanged for other necessities with others. The economy was generated. Li Jie said with a slight smile. So you see, everything stems from sex, and Wilde is not wrong. ”

"Qubbling, is this just an excuse for you men, do you still want to go back to the primitive patriarchal society?" Lydia had been completely distracted by his crooked reasoning, and she couldn't laugh or cry.

"Is this a patriarchal society? Men hunt desperately and compete with others, while women just have to wait for the winner to come to the door and sit back and enjoy the results. I say more of a matriarchal society. Li Jie continued to explain his theories, which sounded interlocking and completely self-consistent. So much so that Lydia couldn't find the words to refute it for a while. In fact, he still has the rest of the words to finish, in essence, this is the different responsibilities that nature gives to men and women, men hunt and store food to create living conditions, and women become pregnant and reproduce the next generation to continue the population.

"The instinct of animals is to eat and mate, the former is related to the survival of the individual, and the latter is related to the reproduction and continuation of the population. It comes down to survival. In order to gain the right to mate, males often have to become stronger. Gaining a higher status in the pack is like the wolf king having more females in the pack - so sex is closely related to power. Li Jie used almost straightforward language. Dissect instinct and **** naked, display it in front of each other, and show it in detail, without concealment at all.

"But human beings are not only instinctive, human beings are advanced animals, with richer feelings and reason!" Lydia finally found a chance to refute it.

"Yes, human society is more complex than the animal world, but it is still impossible to avoid the instinct of **. When the most basic survival and physiology are satisfied, it is natural to want more things, such as safety, socialization, and respect (Note 2). It's like a black hole that can contain and devour everything, and there is no end to it. Possessiveness and wealth evolved from appetite, and power, domination, and vanity evolved from sexuality...... No matter what form it takes, the essence of ** is the same. Li Jie gently stroked Lydia's face, carefully pulled her wind-blown hair behind her ears, and said meaningfully.

"It's not like that...... The reason why people are different from animals is because they can control their own **. Sigmund Freud once said that the human spirit is divided into three parts, the id, the ego, and the superego (Note 3). The id (completely subconscious) represents the inner **, the ego (mostly conscious) is responsible for dealing with things in reality, and the superego (partially conscious) represents conscience and morality. With self-regulation and superego suppression, people will not fall into the endless ** of the ego and cannot extricate themselves. Lydia spoke quickly and urgently, as if in a hurry to refute Li Jie.

"Yes, but why suppress the ego? The only reason why people aim for something is because they want something. Some people are very sensitive and shy, some people face it calmly, and some people try their best to cover it up, but uncovering those disguised appearances, you can't deny it, in essence, it still stems from **, which is human nature. There is nothing wrong with pursuing ** in itself, what is wrong is that some people let ** occupy all their minds and lose their minds. We should face it squarely and harness it, rather than choose to run away from it. Li Jie was not impatient at all about Lydia's rebuttal, and still spoke in his steady voice, while Lydia was completely confused.

"You can't deny that from ancient times to the present, the outstanding people in human society have often had a strong self that is beyond the ordinary people, not to mention the rulers who occupy the top of the pyramid. Even now, the thirst for knowledge of scientists, the lust for power of politicians, and the lust for wealth of businessmen are all the same. Oh, and fame. Need I give more examples? ”

"** is the driving force for human continuous progress."

Li Jie finally concluded.

Lydia feels like a devil in his language, pervasive and demagogic, revealing secrets that have never been touched by anyone. The most frightening thing is that she faintly feels that what Li Jie is talking about is reality, that is, what she does not want to face, but it is true. As a noble woman who grew up in a huge family, Lydia has already seen countless betrayals and rebellions, and even his father, who once had a secret lover, was almost on the verge of a broken marriage. And herself, although she has always behaved chic and calm, has never given up the pursuit of fame, glitz, and beauty, and when she dreams back at midnight, she has a little yearning for fame, fortune, and power.

Li Jie saw all her reactions, her arms were raised slightly, and beautiful music came out from the speakers embedded on all sides. It is "Por?una?cabeza" (One Step Away), a gorgeous, noble and moving tango song, the ultimate representative of Argentine tango, full of joyful and agile melody that surrounds the surroundings like a substance, and people can't help but linger in the meantime.

"Is that okay?" Li Jie gently let go of the arm that hugged Lydia, leaned over slightly, and made an inviting gesture.

At this moment, Lydia's last line of defense finally collapsed...... No longer able to put up any resistance, it sank completely......

And as Schopenhauer said, all the passions of love, no matter how elegant and ethereal they may be, are still rooted in sexual desire; After all, it is a clearer, more specific, and in the strictest sense of the word, a more personal sexuality.

It is conceivable that for the famous lady Lydia? For Hearst, it will be the most memorable night of his life......

Note 1: Whether the sex here should be translated as **, sexual desire or libido has always been controversial, and for the reason of river crabs, the Chinese translation in the book is **. When it's written as sex, it's good for everyone to be righteous.

Note 2: Maslow's hierarchy of needs.

Note 3: The id, ego and superego, psychoanalyst Sigmund Freud's theory of psychodynamics.
