Chapter 785: The Chicken and the Egg
"Chicken or egg?" Sun asked a question that bordered on taboo.
Philosophers like to discuss this question because it involves the origin of life and the universe, idle and boring people like to ask this question because it can stump others and give them an inexplicable sense of superiority, and theologians like to use this question to answer questions because it makes theology appear more "divine".
Most people still think the question is pointless.
But this question, which has stumped countless scholars and scientists for thousands of years, actually has an answer, but there are naturally two answers to such a question, one is the chicken first, and the other is the egg, both of which are correct and incorrect, and should not be raised at this time, because according to the rules, the questions asked must have accurate answers.
If he had only asked the words "chicken or egg", Wang Yang would have refused to answer the question and asked Sun An to ask it again, but Sun An added a precondition - from a non-philosophical point of view - to use some kind of discipline to frame the answer to the question.
There are many disciplines outside of philosophy, and each discipline has its own answer to this question, and that answer is the exact answer to that discipline, which is not against the rules.
"Good question. Wang Yang looked down at Sun An and said with a smile.
"It's over. Sun An also smiled and looked up at Wang Yang.
Wang Yang spent a long time thinking about it this time, and then he came up with the answer: "From the perspective of individual biology, the answer is that there are eggs first. ”
"Very good, please ask. Sun An said with a smile.
In addition to the discipline, there is an important prerequisite for this question, that is, the "10,000" level, that is, the people who think of this answer must be 10,000 to 90,000, which is a very specific limitation, and the wrong discipline cited does not meet this condition, then the answer given is wrong.
From a generalized biological point of view, nature came before the egg, and among the terrestrial oviparities, the dinosaurs appeared much earlier than the chickens, and naturally there were eggs before - there are far more than 90,000 people who take this as the correct answer, so it cannot be answered from this point of view.
From a conceptual point of view, it is natural that there is a chicken first, because the egg that is tied with the chicken must be an egg, and the concept of a chicken must be there before there can be an egg, and no matter what kind of egg it is, it cannot be discussed with the chicken - there are far more than 90,000 people who take this as the correct answer, and the same cannot be answered from this point of view.
From God's horn perspective, Genesis 1:21 in the Bible says, "And God made great fish, and every living animal that grew out of the waters, according to his kind." And he made every kind of bird, every according to his kind. God looks good. Verse 22 says, "God blessed all of them, saying, Grow and multiply, and fill the waters of the sea." and the birds shall be multiplied on the earth. ”
Although birds and birds are collectively referred to and do not explicitly refer to chickens, it can be seen that God created chickens before chickens can lay eggs, so there are chickens first—there are more than two billion Christians, and what the Bible says is correct, and it cannot be answered from this perspective.
From the point of view of natural evolution, the answer is that there are eggs first, because chickens are hybrids, and modern domestic chickens are the descendants of red junglefowl and gray jungle chickens, and in a certain period of time, the eggs born by red jungle chickens and gray jungle chickens hatched out a species similar to modern domestic chickens, and then evolved to form modern chickens, according to the definition of species, it is a chicken with eggs first - although this statement is relatively new, but there are more than 90,000 people who think this statement is correct, and it cannot be answered from this perspective.
Only from the point of view of individual biology, this answer is true, life is from young to long, from small to large, the growth stage of insects is first eggs, then larvae, and then to adults, and the growth stage of chickens is first eggs, then chickens, so there are eggs first and then chickens - this statement is relatively simple and crude, all other considerations are abandoned, and people like to complicate problems when thinking about problems, so there are relatively few people who think that this is the correct answer, 10,000 to 90,000 is a reasonable number.
Wang Yang was analyzing and eliminating these answers, and it took a lot of time, and he was secretly frightened, guessing whether Sun An raised this difficult problem casually, or after careful consideration, because taking the level of the problem as part of the problem is a very profound skill, whether it is mentioned casually or after thinking about mentioning it again, it shows that Sun An is groping for this ability in the right direction, and it is about to touch the core.
"10,000" level of problems, most of the cold knowledge can not be raised, can remember the cold knowledge that has been seen by not many people, so the cold knowledge is "cold", but there are still many people who know cold knowledge, reading, collecting cold knowledge is a very interesting thing.
But there's also some trivia that can do the trick.
"What is Barbie's full name?" Wang Yang asked his 10,000-level question.
It is precisely because there are not many people who can remember cold knowledge, and the questions related to cold knowledge are the best, some things, if you can't remember it, you can't remember it, and if you can't remember it, you can't remember it, the founder of Ghibli can guess through the subtitles after the movie, and the cold knowledge can't do it, because it's too "cold".
Barbara Milliscent Roberts Millicent· Roberts), luckily I know an old man who is obsessed with Barbie. Sun An slowed down the pace, smacked his lips, took a puff of his cigarette, raised his head casually, looked at Wang Yang and asked, "If I am a chicken and you are an egg, from the perspective of the two of us, will you or me come first?"
"Ha, even if there is an answer to this question, there will be no more than ten people, so I can't answer you. Wang Yang said with a smile.
Sun An smiled and asked again: "Then have you ever seen the guy hiding inside the Sphinx and checking the encyclopedia on the Internet?"
Wang Yang was stunned for a moment and said, "What are you talking about, I don't understand." ”
He didn't show any flaws on his face, and looked coldly at Sun An below.
Sun An said with a smile: "You know very well in your heart, pitiful, I was involved in this broken place, and I was also controlled, not only the outer body was controlled, but the inner thinking was also controlled, I guess even if I win, it is impossible to defeat the owner of this ability, right?" He hid.,Find a stand-in and play guessing with me.,Even if you lose, you don't have to pay any price.,It can make me think I've eliminated him.,So that next time you can trouble me.,It's a pity.,The owner of the ability doesn't have so much knowledge reserves.,This thing can only accumulate slowly.,It's not okay to memorize the things in the book by rote when you get the ability.,You can only check it after hearing the problem.,When you check it, you can't control you.,You can only let you talk.,There's a problem- You are two different people when you answer a question and you are ready to answer a question. ”
