Chapter 1153: The Professor (16)
Bruce pouted and said, "Yes, when I saw a homicide, I immediately thought of the way to commit the crime, and solved the 'ordinary people' of two serial killers in three days." ”
As soon as he said this, Bruce's expression stiffened, and he found that the way he spoke now was really more and more like Schiller.
Schiller spread his hands and smiled, "Can't ordinary people have some specialties?" However, you got to the point, and this is the biggest optimization in this version update. ”
"It's not just those serial killers, you and I are the same, because of certain conditions that are superior, we are separated from ordinary people."
"Serial killers are emotionally weak, unable to empathize, unable to understand the joys, sorrows and sorrows of ordinary people, you have a high IQ, and you are very rich, destined to drift away from ordinary people's society, and I, born with mental illness, cannot understand the world in a normal way."
"We are all separated from the lives of ordinary people, and we can only speculate on how they live through imagination, even if you give up your identity as a rich man and go deep into the bottom, but due to the difference in IQ and brain structure, it is difficult for you to see the world from the perspective of ordinary people."
"In your opinion, how can anyone not learn calculus? How could anyone not memorize three books in one night? How can anyone not understand the mechanical structure of a machine? However, many ordinary people just can't. ”
As a result, the price began to wonder if they were really stupid, or if they didn't want to think hard. Schiller looked into Bruce's eyes, but there was no indifferent smile in his eyes, which showed that he was not mocking anyone.
But Schiller's words were still to the point, and Bruce looked at Schiller in silence, and he admitted that he had indeed thought about it.
When faced with the situation that ordinary people are puzzled by certain questions, Bruce really feels very confused, because in his opinion, this is not a problem at all, not even a problem, as long as he thinks a little, he can get the answer.
So, why on earth can't they come up with an answer? Are their brains really doing their best? They show that they don't care about something, can't think of an answer, or are they too lazy to think about it?
"I guess the answer you've come up with is both." Schiller said the answer in Bruce's mind, and he continued: "Some people can't think of it, some people are too lazy to think about it, and some people pretend to be too lazy to think because they can't think of it." ”
"But there is no doubt that their performance builds your impression of ordinary people, which is chaotic, confused, and messy anyway."
"For them, the whole dry world is full of mysteries, those who want to get answers can't get it, they can't do what they want to do, they don't know where they come from, they don't know where they want to go, it's like a ghost wandering in the vast land."
Bruce found that Schiller's eyes had become very different, in the past, when he looked at Schiller's eyes, he always felt that he had seen an endless abyss, and Schiller's eyes were always very deep, as if they were full of countless secrets that could not be discovered, like a dam with no end in the midst of a sea of stormy waves.
And now, Schiller's eyes have become very clear, and the words he wants to say, the emotions he wants to express, can be seen at a glance, like pebbles next to a garden pond.
"But that's not the case." Schiller turned around and gave an answer that surprised Bruce, in fact, just now Bruce had agreed with Schiller's last sentence, in his opinion, the life of ordinary people is indeed like that, confused, ignorant, and only looking at the present.
After Schiller sat back at his desk, the light poured in through the floor-to-ceiling window next to the desk, and he looked at Bruce intently and said:
"You went to the slums, you saw the scavengers struggling desperately on the food and clothing line, and you saw the dock workers working hard just to make a living, their lives, compared to the lives of your rich people, are extremely miserable, and their IQ and memory are incomparable to yours."
"So, you feel that there are only these sufferings in their lives, and it's like walking in hell, which is so pitiful that you think they must be boring, stupid, and uncreative."
Schiller shook his head lightly and said: "The world of ordinary people is far more colorful than you think, everyone on the road, although they have their own tiredness and their own hopes, although they often feel pain, but they can always find happiness, each has its own boring, but also has its own humor. ”
"They have their own characteristics, they have their own strengths, they seem very mediocre in many ways, but occasionally there is a flash of inspiration, they don't have the opportunity to embark on the path of art, but they can always use their abundant emotions to create amazing works of art."
"They don't have much, but they are very easy to satisfy, and often feel frustrated and sad, but the solution is simply to fall asleep."
"A waste picker might be happy to pass by a video store and hear his favorite song, and a dock worker might be happy to have tied a nice knot today."
"Bruce ......" Schiller called out Bruce's name, and Bruce saw another person in his face, who had been his nightmare, perhaps his friend, the one who always wanted to make him smile.
"Do you think that ordinary people laugh because they have no other way to deal with the suffering in life than laughing, but this point of view is too serious and arrogant, is it possible that they are just happy?"
Schiller pursed his lips and gave Bruce a big smile and said, "You pity them because their material life is not superior enough, and they pity you because you are rarely sincerely happy." ”
Schiller leaned away, leaned on the armrest on one side, looked at Bruce and asked, "What do you think about laziness?" ”
"I don't like laziness." Bruce replied.
"It is true that we don't like laziness, so I didn't have the personality trait of laziness a long time ago, when my temple of thought was first established."
"At its root, laziness is actually a manifestation of mental detachment, for ordinary people, the time they can fully concentrate is limited, and when the time of concentration reaches the limit, they will instinctively start to wander."
"However, the vast majority of people do not reach the limit of their concentration time, and before that, there will be something that interferes with them, makes them wander in advance, and distracts them, this kind of thing is called laziness."
"If a person is very tired and goes to rest, this is not called laziness, this is called self-preservation, and if a person is not tired, mentally and physically very healthy, but just doesn't want to do one thing, it may be rejection and avoidance."
"If a person is not tired and wants to do something, but in the process of doing things, he finds that he is always unable to concentrate, unable to go all out, and always has something that is blocking him from doing his best, this kind of thing is called laziness."
"The root cause is that ordinary people can't accurately control their own thinking, and they can't do it, so that the thinking parts that generate power can work with maximum efficiency, and the parts that produce obstacles don't work at all."
"But we can do it." Schiller tapped the table with his hand and looked at Bruce, who walked over and sat down across from him, wondering how Schiller's personality came about.
"Whether you can shield your lazy thinking is the key to a person's execution, some people are obviously not low IQ, and there is no problem with the plan they have formulated, but they always give up halfway and can't do one thing, because they can't shield the lazy thinking in their heads."
"On the contrary, the existence of people like you and me, maybe because of the innate super high IQ, or maybe because of the innate mental illness, laziness does not exist for us."
"6 As long as our physical and mental condition is not at its limit, and we want to do something, we will be able to carry out all the parts consistently, precisely."
"Our mind is like a precision machine, we make which part turn, which part will turn, and there will never be a part that we don't feel, or don't know where it comes from, suddenly turns to hinder our movement."
"Therefore, in my thinking, there is no laziness as a part, and when my personality is broken and countless trait fragments are produced, I naturally do not carry this fragment."
"And when did you show up?" Bruce asked.
"After I received professional psychotherapy." Schiller replied, and he went on to explain to Bruce: "Before that, I didn't know what the situation was like for other people, and I thought that the whole world was like me. ”
6 Therefore, when some people give up and then feel remorse, I feel very confused, and I don't understand, why don't they do it, if they want to do it? Why did you give up? Why do you regret giving up? ”
"I didn't understand what was holding them back, and then a doctor told me it was laziness." Schiller stared into Bruce's eyes and said, "He also told me that not being lazy is not entirely a good thing. ”
"The parts that make people motivated will produce all kinds of positive emotions in the process of completing something, such as the excitement and expectation before starting to do things, the composure and calmness in the process of doing things, and the sense of accomplishment after doing things."
"When these emotions are generated, our brain needs to respond accordingly, cool down when the excitement is too high, add a fire when calm thinking leads to emotional depression, and self-affirm when the sense of accomplishment appears, giving higher value."
"The lazy parts will cause people to have all kinds of negative emotions in the process of not being able to complete something, such as hesitation before starting to do things, boredom in the process of doing things, regret and sadness after giving up halfway, and self-denial."
"When these negative emotions arise, the brain also needs to respond accordingly, for example, urging when it is too hesitant, calming the mind when it is bored, comforting itself when regretting, and trying to balance when it is self-denying."
"If a person only has the parts that generate motivation and can only produce positive emotions, then his brain, which has been working to balance positive emotions, is likely to be overkill."
"For example, if the brain is always suppressing excitement and anticipation, and this part of the ability is particularly strong, it is very likely that when the excitement and anticipation are not so high, all positive emotions will be erased, and people will always be in a state of depression and disappointment."
"In a state of rational thinking and low emotion, raising emotions too high can lead to irritable and even violent behavior."
"When a sense of accomplishment appears, excessive self-affirmation leads to becoming arrogant, narcissistic, and unable to listen to other people's opinions."
Schiller looked at Bruce with a smile and said in an accent: "Such a person is terrible, right, 'Bruce'?" ”
