Chapter 2: The Conference of Immortality and Immorality
Nat, the newly elected leader of the Wanmeng Alliance, watched the professor's speech throughout the whole process and agreed with the professor's views very much. After watching the speech, he also had an unexpected gain, he found out that Chus was actually his classmate in college. During his time in college, his classmates called him "Straight Chus".
Speaking of "upright Chus", this nickname has a bit of a origin.
When Chus was in college, college debates were all the rage on Mercury. The Vanner Union is no exception. Coupled with the promotion of the television media, it has become a kind of entertainment program that has swept the whole Union.
This is a kind of assembly in which the more the reasoning is debated, the more confused it becomes. Participants only use their tongues, whether they are black or white. The topics of debate are randomly selected social events that have a certain impact. The sides of the debate do not have their own positions. The host asked him to be the positive side, and he did everything possible to defend the positive side. The host asked him to be the opponent, and he did everything possible to argue for the opponent.
As the most famous debater in the school, Chus was highly anticipated by the school and participated in the "Mercury Famous College Debate" hosted by Wanmeng TV. The show is hosted by a popular star and is broadcast live, so it attracts a lot of attention.
Chus led his school's debaters all the way to the finals. The title of the final round is "Reflections Triggered by a Traffic Accident". The topic was a traffic accident that happened in a certain place not long ago. Both sides of the debate must discuss the impact of a car accident on society from both sides.
The accident was caused by a staff member of a tribal elementary school who drove a large truck in disrepair without a license to transport students. Because the wheels fell off, 13 students were killed and injured.
At the press conference, the leader of the tribe, after a false apology, suddenly changed his tone and said: "Although this incident is a bad thing, from another point of view, it exposes some shortcomings in our work." It would be a good thing if we could take this as a warning and make amends. ”
At that time, some classmates asked rhetorically: "If he lets his child die in this disaster, let's see if he will think differently!" This is obviously reversing right and wrong and confusing the public! ”
Chus was so angry that he wanted to bang his head against the wall. He thought that such an ignorant idea was just a justification for a mediocre official to exonerate himself. He never expected that such a topic would appear in a high-sounding college student debate. Chus couldn't help but ask: Where is the truth? Where is the justice?
Knowing Chus's character, the debaters decided not to let him speak in this debate. But when he stood there and heard the opponent's argument friend Zhenzhen state his point of view, he could no longer control his emotions, and suddenly slapped the table and asked loudly: "Car accident!" Dead people! Is it a good thing or a bad thing?! ”
The opponent's defense friend paused for a moment, not knowing how to answer.
The moderator immediately reminded Chuss: "This student, now is the time to state your views, not to debate. ”
Chus asked with red eyes, "I'm asking you!" Dead people, dead children as cute as flowers, what kind of shameless reason can be said to be a good thing?! ”
The host has never gone through such a battle, and he was stupid all of a sudden.
Seeing that the situation was out of control, the opponent's defense friend quickly took over and said: "The dialectic of opposites tells us that we must look at the problem comprehensively and from both positive and negative aspects. ”
"The dialectic of opposites is to make us face up to the problem, not to whitewash our mistakes!" Chus retorted.
Chus's uncalmness also aroused the fighting spirit of the opponent's defense friend. A defense friend took over and said, "Ask the opponent to control your emotions." The truth becomes clearer the more it is argued, but debate is not louder than a voice. Our point of view is that ...... is understood from a different perspective"
Chus also noticed his emotions. He tried to calm down and teased: "It seems that you will kill people from a different angle!" If all crimes can be thought of from a different perspective, then do criminals have no sense of guilt? If all mistakes can be thought of from a different perspective, then does society not need to progress? ”
The debater suddenly turned red and accused Chus: "The other party's debater, you are secretly changing your concept!" I'm talking about the way to look at the problem. ”
Chus also raised his voice and said, "I also want to remind the other side of the debate that when you discuss the way to look at the problem, you first confuse right and wrong. Right is right and wrong is wrong, I don't know how to understand that dead people can become good things. Why don't you die and show me? ”
"I protest" the opponent's defense friend complained to the host: "He is a personal attack!" ”
After Chus said this, he immediately regretted it. He blushed slightly and apologized, "I'm sorry, I didn't control my emotions." But," he said, with a hint of cunning on his face, "if you understand it from a different angle......"
Suddenly there was a burst of unbridled laughter from under the podium.
Chus pointed to the students in the audience and said wittily, "Laugh, you still laugh." College students, the pride of the sky, the hope of the future, there is no distinction between right and wrong. ”
Louder laughter erupted from the stage.
"Please don't talk about topics that aren't relevant to the debate." The moderator took control of the situation in a timely manner.
Chu Si politely nodded at the host and continued to say just now: "As for the way to look at the problem. If it is discussed by the parties, is it not to exonerate responsibility and avoid the important and light?! If it is up to us outsiders to talk about it, is it a snake to add to it? ”
A debater said angrily: "How can a comprehensive view of the problem become a snake to add to the problem? There is also a big hat that exculpatizes responsibility and avoids the important and trivial, does it not even have the freedom to speak when you make mistakes? ”
"Can the law be seen from a different angle? What is the seriousness of the law? When such a thing happens, from the school to the individual, the responsibility is clear, and direct accountability is enough, do you need to give them a chance to defend themselves from a different angle? ”
The opponent's defense friend stopped talking for a while, and there was a brief silence in the room.
"This classmate's speech is too extreme." A debater came back and was going to retort in a roundabout way.
"The development of anything will not be smooth sailing, it will be moving forward in twists and turns, and it will be tortuous in progress. This is also a law that cannot be violated. The opposing party said.
"I'll admit I might be a little extreme." Chus reviewed.
There was a commotion in the audience.
"But," Chus continued, "I don't admit to being extreme in this matter. Because there may not be anything wrong with the theory you are saying, but what is wrong is that it is used where it should not be used. ”
"Moving forward in twists and turns is about the limited cognitive capacity of human beings, not that we must twist and turn in order to move forward. If a difficult thing is not done well, everyone will choose to forgive. If you don't do a simple thing well, it means that you don't care at all or are stupid. If you ask a college student to go outside your home to make soy sauce, and the result is twists and turns, what can you make others say about you? ”
Someone in the debate stage laughed, Chu Si smiled slightly and said: "Mercury people know: such a car, such a driver, pulling so many people, what kind of accident will happen, and also set a law." Is it also a natural law not to obey the law? ”
"So" the opponent's defense friend smiled coldly and asked: "No one is perfect, what does it mean that Jin Wuzu is red?" ”
"I also want to ask the other side of the debate," Chus said-for-tat, "are we pursuing twists and turns, or are we moving forward?" If it's the former, I suspect that you are the real culprit behind this car accident, and the nature of the car accident is about to turn into a terrorist attack. ”
"Hahaha" The venue erupted in a tsunami of laughter.
"No one is perfect, no one is perfect, and it is about our ability, not our pursuit. Just like the ideal state required in the laboratory, we don't have the ability to create that environment, but we have to strive for that environment as best we can. Chus said.
"In this crash, there are laws in place for licensed driving, trucks cannot carry people, and security checks for vehicles. There is no obstacle to understanding, and there is no difficulty in operation, so what else can we talk about when no one is perfect, and there is no gold to be bare enough?! After saying this, Chu Si's eyes scanned the audience like a torch, and the opponent's defense friend was speechless.
Chu Si suddenly raised his voice and said, "By the way, I will say again, maybe there will be a day when gold is also full of red, and people are perfect!" I don't break the law if I think so, right? ”
The moderator saw that the debate could not go on, and wittily announced that the pros and cons exchanged positions. The opponent's defense friends were relieved. It's finally possible to get rid of this tough opponent. Now, they can use Chuth's spear to attack Chuth's shield.
"But," Chus ignored the host's set. He looked up to the sky and sighed, and angrily declared: "I will not quibble for the wrong position!" ”
Ignoring the stunned gazes of the audience, our Chusi classmates turned around, held their heads high, and strode out of the venue.
After Chus left, the debate ended abruptly.
After returning to school, Chus was severely criticized by his teachers and received a school punishment for "not cherishing collective honor".
Nat was able to witness this unusual debate. He was impressed by Chus's righteousness and moved by his courage.
As the school's student council president, Nat called on the entire school to protest against the school's punishment of Chuss. They shouted "Honest Chus", "Truth-telling Chus", "Truth Chus", tore up school posters, and marched and demonstrated. Under pressure from the student union, the school eventually lifted Chus's punishment.
After this experience, Chus and Nat often talked about philosophical issues together. However, Chus believes that "the friendship of gentlemen is as light as water" and "a small group is a betrayal of the big order", so the two have never become close friends. I didn't have much contact after graduation.
In addition to Nate, another person who admires Chus is the outgoing president of Hair Shore Dance, Brown, who is far away in a foreign land.
Brown is a visionary who loves to talk about immortality. The leader of the United Socialist Party, Nicolas Sarko, shared his hobbies. Nicolas Sarco is a contender for the next presidency and is currently the mayor of the bustling city of the capital of Hair Coast Dance. They all learned about Chuth through the live broadcast in memory of Moen.
Excited to learn that Chus shares their views, Brown and Sacco meet Chus through Nat, and try to make the "Immortality Conference" held in the bustling capital of Honshore Dance.
