Chapter 69: Heat
The article "Sensibility is not worthy of your trust" mainly puts the perceptual cognition and rational cognition that human beings have neglected for a long time on the table for discussion. The article is inspired by the author's stumbling discovery of the new auxiliary magic props of the Flower Academy, and expands the in-depth thinking of sensibility and reason.
The numerical probe is a new type of numerical display method that replaces the usual vague perceptual cognitive judgment of human beings with a completely rational and objective external object. There is no doubt that the standard system for numerical display of Ciri has great advantages. (No one thought that the ignition point of product promotion was not a functional effect, but on this standard system of numerical display that did not show his face a few times.) In fact, the rise of phenomenal products often lies not in their original ontology, but in the concepts they contain. )
Why didn't anyone use this numerical method to calculate the target's strength before this magic item? It's because people are confined to the misconception that we are the most reliable, that our feelings are more accurate, and that we should believe in ourselves even if we don't believe in anything else. This blind self-confidence makes everyone choose to turn a blind eye to the flaws of perceptual cognition, and makes everyone think that the current way of knowing is enough.
However, turning a blind eye does not mean that it does not exist, everything can be better, there is not enough word, and we should not treat sensibility differently just because it comes from itself.
If we look at perceptual cognition apart from psychological factors, it is actually only the initial stage of cognition, which is a simple cognition of objective things through sensory organs (eyes, ears, hands, nose, etc., the exploration of the wizarding world is also equivalent to a way of perception). Sensation, perception, and appearance are the three forms of perceptual cognition. The main characteristics of this kind of cognition are directness and general concreteness.
The new product of numerical probe replaces human thinking to a certain extent. It is a rational way of cognition that explores the surface of things, summarizes and summarizes the information obtained, and then shows it. (I won't go into the details later, after all, this book is not about philosophical issues.) )
The article devotes a lot of space to the various defects of perceptual cognition and the advantages of rational cognition, and finally concludes:
Perceptual cognition is the basic primary stage of human cognition of the outside world, while rational cognition is its extension and advanced stage. We can't completely separate the two, but we need to distinguish between them.
At the same time, rational cognition is the ultimate and inevitable stage of development of perceptual cognition, and perceptual cognition must not be used to replace rational cognition, nor can perceptual cognition stop at stagnation.
Human beings have reached the stage of rational cognition in many aspects, for example, the experimental research of academic mages mostly uses the method of rational cognition to perceive external objects, but more aspects require us to extend simple perceptual cognition to rational cognition, so as to better and more clearly understand everything.
Terrence's article, although it was only an introduction and example of a numerical profiler, did increase the popularity of the numerical profiler, and at the same time, it also made many people aware of the efficacy of this new type of auxiliary magic item.
As the discussion of perceptual and rational cognition gradually expands, many people know that there is a magical new magic item in the Flower Academy that is about to be launched, and many people also plan to buy one and try it if the price of this magic item is not particularly outrageous.
A month later, the first two types of numerical explorers produced by the Flower Academy will be officially on sale. A few days before the sale, explanations for these two new magic items were posted at the doors of the chamber stores that all the Blossom Academy cooperated with.
【Numerical Profiler Type II】Due to the unexpected publicity, many people are paying attention to this model of products, and the city of flowers is also a city of colleges, so most of the upper-class people need this model of products.
The publicity of [Numer Profiler Type I] is mainly focused on the mercenary city of Kailila outside, although the repercussions caused are not as great as that of [Numer Profiler Type II], but the mercenary groups under the jurisdiction of these chambers of commerce themselves are enough to completely digest several batches of this product, of course, there is no problem with this batch of sales, and the output can be changed according to the actual sales volume and sales popularity in the future.
On the day of the official release, all the shops selling the [Numer Profiler Type II] were lined up in front of the windows. Due to the unexpected popularity in the early stage, the price of this model was adjusted to a higher 20 Mithril by the Flower Academy, but it seems that this did not affect people's enthusiasm in the slightest.
The [Numerical Profiler Type I] window also unexpectedly lined up with a lot of people waiting to buy. On the one hand, this is because the price of [Numer Profiler Type I] is only 5 Mithril, and it is also because the upper class has brought the trend of [Numer Profiler Type II], and ordinary people at the bottom will naturally join in the fun.
Through the pre-sales publicity a few days ago, these people learned that this auxiliary magic prop actually has a special Type I version, and it is specially designed for those of them who have no energy, and the price is not very expensive, at least in the rich city of Flower City, it is still easy for ordinary people to buy it. It's a good thing that is practical and can follow the trend, so don't buy one.
Because the overall number of ordinary people is much larger than the number of mages, the team here is even larger than the [Numer Profiler Type II] side, which is beyond everyone's expectations.
In fact, as soon as the shops for sale opened, no one would have expected this sales boom today, because the number of supplies allocated to their stores was simply not enough to supply them, and the city patrol team had to send two teams of people to maintain order.
So before it was officially put on sale, the report asking if there was still stock was sent up layer by layer, and finally it was directly called to Douglas, the head of the cooperative product department of the college's foreign federation.
For a new type of magic prop that the academy cooperates to promote, Douglas, who is in charge of the management of the cooperative product department, is the ultimate manager of the actual operation. Although he still has a few big names above him, the Associate Professor Hobert of the Foreign Federation and the special commission, these are only responsible for giving orders and commands, and Douglas is still in charge of the actual operation, and the people above him do not know more about the actual situation than he himself.
Douglas knew very well that all of the unknown numerical probes had been emptied, and he had nothing left but samples. Because of the unexpected publicity effect some time ago, the relatively expensive [Numerical Explorer Type II], he expected that the sales heat should be relatively good, so all the goods were sent, and the [Numerical Explorer Type I] had various chambers of commerce to cover it, so he also emptied it all.
Unexpectedly, before the official release time, the product leaders of various chambers of commerce contacted him one after another to ask for inventory. He has a fart inventory, and this batch of goods has never been stored in the warehouse, and as soon as it is produced, it will all be taken away by these responsible persons. After all, even without those publicity, all the old foxes who have been doing the production and sales of products for so many years can see the huge potential of this auxiliary magic prop at a glance. These guys almost grabbed it directly in the production base, and Douglas didn't even find a chance to keep one for himself, so there was no inventory.
However, these guys didn't really ask him for any inventory, after all, they knew better than Douglas himself if there was any inventory. Asking about the inventory is actually a reminder to report to the top quickly, increase productivity, now the more productive one penny more, the production device can be directly equated with the money printing machine, so don't hurry up and get more.
Although Douglas despised the cunning of these guys, he did not mince words, and immediately drafted a report to the upper authorities to request the expansion of the productivity of the two types of numerical profilers. I hope the action above is faster, every minute and second is money now.
