Chapter 56: Coyotes and Humanity

"Those forces on all continents and countries will raise some pretentious captive literati, and these people are specially engaged in beautifying propaganda for them without discipline and bottom, and even revising the real history. The people who were sacrificed are portrayed as voluntary sacrifices, and the politicians who hide behind and compete for power and enjoy the fruits of the sacrifices of others are portrayed as leaders who lead great victories. Anyway, it's all about making its own ruling group more magnificent, and in general, the more perfect the better, as for those in the know~ Whoever dares to tell the truth will kill whom, and after a few generations, no one will know the truth. ”

"For example, listening to what you said, the island countries on the eastern coast of the Palmers continent like to change history!~ For example, change yourself to the ancestors of other big countries, or cover up the fact that the whole country has been pirates before, in short, let your children and grandchildren look better, anyway, everyone has almost forgotten~"

"That's not going to happen, there are still a lot of good people in the world! Siggley returned somewhat naively.

It depends on what kind of good person you are talking about, what kind of society defines ~ Generally speaking, a good person is a good person who is good to you, or good to others, and this standard is collected into a conventional moral code. “

"But for the invaders of the ancient kingdom of Kudu, those of us who do not obey them, who do not voluntarily enslave them, who help them to strengthen the so-called cause of the co-prosperity of the Great Karui nation, and who kill their soldiers to resist and flee, are wicked and enemies, in short, it is a simple matter of political interests. ”

"In fact, the root cause is the problem of human nature, and in terms of genetic psychological model, you can also equate human nature with animal nature. Look at that~!" Shaman Chen was halfway through his speech, when he suddenly pointed to the wilderness away from the road, where the coyotes were competing for mates to bite.

I saw this time.

There were two male wolves, roaring and fighting each other for a female wolf, and using their bodies to suppress each other, one of which was smaller and walked away in despair after being suppressed by the other.

Eddie immediately opened his mouth on the side and said: "That wolf is too courageless, it doesn't have the ferocity of a wolf at all, even if he loses, he can't walk away so in vain, at least he has to bite off a piece of the other party's meat before leaving." ”

But.

The mating process over there has not yet come to fruition, and another male coyote of a larger size has come into play, which may be a fairer duel.

But it's actually an unfair wheel war.

The male wolf who had just successfully defended the title was also in full swing at this time, and it did not show weakness to bite the next challenger, and kept dialing it with its wolf claws, pulling out blood marks on its fur, as if it wanted to wait for an opportunity to pick out the opponent's eyeballs.

But this also gives the other party a chance.

I saw that the new spousal rights challenger opened his mouth and bit it, and grabbed the defender's right forelimb in one bite.

With the huge bite force of the wolf's teeth, the bones of this forelimb may have been completely broken into three parts.

But the champion wolf was even more ferocious, completely ignoring the seriously injured limbs, taking the opportunity to press back on the challenger, grabbed the flesh of the opponent's neck, and then tore the subcutaneous artery on the side of the neck with a flick of his head, directly causing the challenged male wolf to fall to the ground and die.

"Champion" took out his opponent.

Does this look like a win?

No.

The disabled "champion" wolf finally limped away with a severed limb attached to the flesh.

Because after it was wounded, it was unable to catch up with the estrus she-wolf that was wandering around, and it probably did not have the ability to get a prey to fill its stomach before it recovered from its injuries in the future, and then it could only stay nearby and wait for starvation to death.

Vasily tilted his head thoughtfully, thought for a long time before replying: "The first wolf left, so the opportunity to find the next mate was obtained." And the two who are desperate in the back, both sides use fangs and claws to disable each other. So in the long history, wolves who like to fight desperately when they are angry have died of cannibalism like this, and there is less chance of continuing their offspring. On the contrary, the wolf who is depressed when he loses, and the wolf who is depressed and leaves automatically has more chances to find the next mate and a greater chance to continue. So over time, the wolves that have continued to the present day are all 'depressed when they lose, depressed and automatically leave'. This is their psychogenetic pattern of maintaining the continuity of the race. ”

Chen Xuyuan added: "But people's desires are more complex, but theoretically the pattern is the same. Like the mercenary just now, they just wanted money, but the survival instinct left by their ancestors made them not want to pay the price of this 'disabled' elimination, so in the end, after weighing it, they still left. ”

Sigri's mind didn't fully understand it all at once: "It should ~~ It should depend on the situation~~"

Chen Shaman, who was on the other side, replied with a smile: "It depends on the situation, if it is a coyote hunting in order to survive, they need more of an 'indomitable' psychological model, and after constantly testing the prey, in the case of a small cost, they will finally get the food to 'survive'." But when competing with their own kind for mates, wolves are treated with a 'depressed and gone' mentality, while maintaining the continuity of the race. Each mode has its own specific use in a specific situation, and vice versa. ”

Human society naturally follows this natural law. It's just that the ideologies that make up human society are also more complex, and the rulers can also change the psychological model of others by brainwashing, so that social morality is conducive to their own stable rule; for example, soldiers will be educated to overcome their instincts and unconditionally sacrifice their lives for the interests of the rulers; but the complex environment of the battlefield sometimes does require "brave" people to survive. These are all typical examples of people successfully controlling their instincts. “

However, there are still people who will fight to the death in a rage when it has nothing to do with "survival", or still kneel on the ground and beg for mercy when others threaten their lives, and finally kill without resistance as if they were killed as if they were pigs and sheep. This is the defect of being enslaved by the artificial psychological model under a certain social ideology. ”

This theory seems to make some sense, but ~~ But why does Sigrid think it's weird?

Higrid, who began to be confused, continued to listen to the other party's nagging: "So, there is no mental model that can be tried and tested. In fact, to put it more broadly, all the emotions, ways of thinking, instinctive impulses, etc., of life are just the tools of our models to deal with everything, and they are all instinctive habits left over from our ancestors. But when we don't make good use of these tools, they will in turn start to harm us, dominate our physical will, and we will take it for granted. “

"That's the big harm. The practice of Zen martial arts in the body should start from this subtlety, which is why I said that my kung fu requires a lot of understanding. Otherwise, even if you train a stronger shell and skin, you will only be a muddy beast. ”

Chen Shaman's last few sentences made a qualitative summary of the matter.
