As soon as Zheng Sen said this, the surrounding scholars were suddenly quiet, but although no one spoke, everyone's expressions were different, and some were happy, such as Fang Yizhi and Yang Longyou; some are confused, such as Gu Jiang and Zhang Dai; Some don't think so, but they don't care too much, such as Ma Shiying, and many more are very unconvinced or even angry. Pen ~ fun ~ Pavilion www.biquge.info Obviously, Zheng Sen's view has not been approved by most people. These people just didn't think of the loopholes in Zheng Sen's statement for the time being, so they didn't stand up to refute him for the time being.

This was entirely to be expected by Zheng Sen, after all, in the original history, even the most empirical science. The victory of new theories over old theories often does not depend on convincing the supporters of the old theories, but on the slow death of the supporters of the old theories. What's more, sociology is fundamentally a thing like public saying that the public is reasonable, and the mother says that the mother is reasonable? Therefore, it is normal for this thing to be thrown out, although it can earn oneself fame, but it is normal to attract a bunch of opponents. Zheng Sen estimated that if it weren't for the sword hanging from his waist, and these days, it is estimated that his reputation for being able to fight has also spread out, and he is afraid that if he doesn't do it well now, he will be beaten by these soldiers.

"Luo Guangde in a certain cloud." Finally, a scholar couldn't help but walk out, "There is something unclear, I want to ask Zheng Xiaoyou." ”

Zheng Sen saw the anger on this person's face, and knew that this must be coming to find trouble for himself, but he was not afraid. Zheng Sen has been thinking about this set of things for a long time, and this person has just heard that if in such a situation, he can't argue with his opponent, then he should really buy a piece of tofu and die on it.

"I don't dare to take the word "please advice." Zheng Sen also saluted, "If you have any doubts, the kid is willing to study with Brother Luo." ”

"Mr. Yang Ming Gezhu in the past, why did he get nothing?" Luo Guangde asked.

"Brother Luo, when Mr. Yang Ming checked bamboo, how could it be bamboo? In fact, it is itself. The request is too big. I want to fulfill my human nature and destiny with one thing. If it can be achieved overnight, is it still Confucianism? I'm afraid it's really Zen. Therefore, Mr. Yang Ming Gezhu did not gain anything for seven days, and even fell seriously ill. It wasn't until Mr. Yang Ming went through hardships and countless things that he realized the Tao in the dragon field. Is there a reason in the world that you don't want the first and second floors, but can directly build the third floor? Although Mr. Yang Ming is a sage, his method of latticing bamboo is obviously wrong. ”

"So you know you're doing the right thing?" Luo Guangde immediately shouted.

"How dare the kid be so arrogant and casually claim that he is right?" Zheng Sen smiled disapprerovingly, "So the kid's Gewu, the income still needs to meet the following points in order to be considered right." ”

"I don't know what it is?" Fang Yizhi interjected and asked.

"First of all, the income of the object must be falsifiable." Zheng Sen said with a smile.

"What does falsifiability mean?" Fang Yizhi asked again.

"Brother Fang, look at the cloud over there, there is a fat-headed, big-eared, long-nosed, nine-toothed nail rake in the cloud, and an immortal is eating fast. You may prove that I am not right? ”

Fang Yizhi was stunned for a moment, but it was Gu Hengbo beside him, who couldn't help but laugh out loud when he heard "a fairy with a fat head and big ears, an old nose, and a nine-toothed nail rake".

"I can't imagine that you are so witty." Gu Hengbo said with a smile.

At this time, Fang Yizhi also understood, but he also frowned, and said: "What Da Mu said is falsifiable, I already understand, is there Zhu Bajie in this cloud, but I can't fly up to see if anyone I wait." Damu said that he saw it, but I waited but didn't see it, but I couldn't say that this was false because I didn't see it, and I couldn't say that it was true. This is unfalsifiable. ”

"Yes, Brother Fang said very well." Zheng Sen said, "In fact, most of the things in the world are like this. It cannot be confirmed and cannot be falsified. Therefore, the Master kept away from the things of ghosts and gods. ”

"You're right." Fang Yizhi said, "It's just that if you say this, won't all the things that can be understood and unspeakable become vain?" ”

Zheng Sen knew the reason why Fang Yizhi frowned, because there are indeed many unspeakable things in life and art, and if you deny them all, there must be a problem.

Zheng Sen listened and replied: "Brother Fang is wrong, what is unfalsifiable does not necessarily do not exist, but it is just not regarded as the basis of learning. For example, the result of smiling can be the feeling of life, but it cannot be used as the basis for reasoning. The same is true for 'the mind is clear'. The way of epiphany, looking at history, its existence can be confirmed, but it is not my way. ”

"What are the requirements other than falsifiability?" Fang Yizhi asked again.

"And repeatable verification." Zheng Sen replied, "The things of the world, some other things, we haven't noticed that lead to a lot of accidents, if it can't be verified repeatably, I'm afraid there will be a lot of stories waiting for the rabbit." ”

This is a valid consideration. Sometimes, something is something else that we don't notice by accident. ”

Therefore, I think that in order to be regarded as the acquisition of things, it must be repeatedly verified by different people according to certain clear and executable methods. Otherwise, it cannot be regarded as the acquisition of things. Brother Fang, you also know that in addition to some accidents that we don't notice, there are many diseases or talents that can also have different effects on different people, such as some people's eyes see different colors than ours, for example, some people can always hear things that others can't hear, see things that others can't see, or rather, it is likely to be visual and auditory hallucinations. These factors must be eliminated with this that can be verified repeatedly, so that it is truly true. With these, we have a relatively solid foundation for learning......"

"Hmph, such as the law of the king, the real rubber pillar drum!" Luo Guangde finally reacted, and came up with such a sentence, interrupting Zheng Sen's words, who were talking endlessly.

Zheng Sen's flower was interrupted, but he was not annoyed, nor did he answer him, but turned to Fang Yizhi and smiled: "This is also not a falsifiable example. ”

Fang Yizhi heard this, but Zhang Dai next to him was not a character who could control himself, and after hearing this answer, he couldn't help but laugh and said: "Wonderful, wonderful, sure enough!" Damu is such a wonderful person! ”

When Luo Guangde heard this, his face turned red and blue for a while, and he was speechless for a while.

"There's one more point." Zheng Sen said again, "But it is also related to what Mr. Luo said." That is how to deal with knowledge after gaining knowledge from the object. Gentlemen, the law of the servants of things, most of them are fragmented, with scales and claws, and they are not fragments. It is like a stone and a brick on the ground, but it is not a house, it cannot be inhabited, and it is useless. They need to be built up to be useful. ”

Hearing this, Gu Jiang became interested, and said, "Does Da Mu also have experience in this structural method?" ”

Zheng Sen smiled: "Yes." There are many ways to structure the Dharma, just like the so-called 48,000 Dharma methods for Buddhahood in Buddhism, which are innumerable. As for a certain method, it is called mathematics plus causes. Brother Gu, if you look at mathematics, starting from the most basic one plus one equals two, and gradually deducing, it is quite complicated in the back. And one by one can be falsified, and it can be verified repeatedly. The same is true of the cause. The knowledge obtained by Gewu should be deduced step by step in a manner similar to mathematics and cause and reason, and new knowledge should be tested in practice, falsified, and repeatedly demonstrated, so that it can be used as the basis for the next derivation. And metaphors cannot be used as a substitute for extrapolation. The method of parables can only be used to illustrate, not to prove. ”

Gu Jiang hurriedly asked, "What is explanation, what is proof?" ”

Zheng Sen immediately replied: "Explanation is used to understand what something looks like, while proof is to deduce the unknown from known conditions. For example, Mr. Fang Cai Luo criticized the kid for the rubber column drumming. It probably means that the boy's learning is not smart enough, and its state is similar to that of the rubber column. This note also. If the boy had previously talked to Brother Fang about trigonometry, and deduced the sinusoidal curve and its equation from the known conditions, it would be proof. To obtain new knowledge, we can only use the method of proof, and to impart new knowledge, we can use the method of explanation. Scholars must not ignore this. Otherwise, the method of metaphor is mistakenly used to prove it, and the basis for the argument is not solid. ”

"If you come a little bit like this, I'm afraid that when you really have a little knowledge, people will die of old age, right?" Luo Guangde couldn't help but say again.

"The power of one person is limited, but what about the power of many?" Zheng Sen said, "If there is only one person, it will naturally be very slow, if it is the strength of everyone, obtain basic knowledge, compound the wisdom of everyone, deduce new knowledge and verify it, where will it be slow?" But Zheng Sen's method, although it seems clumsy, has a great advantage and can offset this problem. ”

"What's the benefit?" Luo Guangde asked.

"Easy to pass on." Zheng Sen smiled, "How difficult is it to inherit the method of epiphany? If my method, the next generation continues to study things on the basis of the previous generation, continue to deduce, and the income will naturally far exceed that of the predecessors, and it is much more convenient for scholars to gain and contribute from generation to generation, and to inherit and accumulate the way of learning. One day, if there is a great sage, and on this basis, there will be a leap, and it is not known. That's the great thing about a certain method. Well, Miss Li, just now I said that the mathematics and other miscellaneous studies you mentioned that Brother Fang studied are actually not miscellaneous studies that are not doing their jobs, but the most fundamental and basic knowledge, do you think my statement is reasonable? ”

Zheng Sen suddenly put aside Luo Guangde and talked to Li Xiangjun.

Li Xiangjun shook his head and said, "I heard so much at once, and I didn't understand it at all. I don't know, such a profound question is not something that a little woman of mine can say. ”

"I don't understand anything, this is just a lie. I will resume the society assembly, and I can tolerate such fallacies! Luo Guangde was already very dissatisfied, and saw that Zheng Sen left him alone, but with a prostitute. When the woman said this, she became more and more dissatisfied, so she shouted angrily. As he spoke, he picked up the folding fan in his hand and threw himself at Zheng Sen.
