Chapter 8 The Wind of the Horse Suit

"What Mr. said can only explain that white horses are not horses, but not white horses." Zhao Kuo shook his head.

"The white horse is nothing but a concrete image, while the horse refers to a comprehensive concept. Horses have a variety of images such as white horses, red horses, and yellow horses, which of course do not equal specific white horses. Therefore, white horses are not horses. Gongsun Long said again.

The people around him also nodded frequently, feeling that what Gongsun Long said was very reasonable.

"The gentleman only said that the horse is not a white horse, not a red horse, not a yellow horse. It does not explain that white horses are not horses, red horses are not horses, and yellow horses are not horses, this is just a change of concept. White horses, red horses, and yellow horses are all horses. Mr. Zibing is wearing black clothes today, isn't it Mr. Zibing if he changes into a red set of clothes tomorrow? ”

Zhao Kuo shook his head again.

I have to say that Gongsun Long's set of white horses is not a horse and Zhao Gao's finger deer is far from a horse.

Zhao Gao is a famous leader.

When everyone heard Zhao Kuo's words, they suddenly realized that they had been deceived by Gongsun Long's concept of stealing.

Everyone understood, but Gongsun Long was stunned.

"No matter what clothes I wear, I am me, but I am a comprehensive concept, I am a concrete image in black, I am not equal to me in red, so am I ...... in the end"

"Am I ......?"

"I ......"

Countless buzzing sounds bombarded Gongsun Long's mind, and Gongsun Long held his head and rolled on the ground with a very painful expression.

"It's not good, Mr. Zibing's famous courage is about to be broken." A doorman exclaimed.

Zhao Sheng was about to ask someone to help Gongsun Long up, but Gongsun Long sat up by himself, with blood on the corner of his mouth, and his expression was a little hideous, but his eyes were extremely resolute.

"Hakuba ......"

Zhao Kuo interrupted Gongsun Long's words and said, "I heard Mr.'s white horse Feima, but I suddenly thought of an interesting thing and wanted to ask Mr. for advice. ”

"Ma Fuzi, please speak." Gongsun Long said in a deep voice.

"Let's assume that Mr. Zibing's speed is faster than the tortoise, if a tortoise is placed a hundred steps in front of Mr. Zibing, and Mr. Zibing and the tortoise run at the same time, then Mr. Zibing can catch up with this tortoise?" Zhao Kuo said.

With a smile on everyone's faces, Zhao Kuo actually compared Gongsun Long and the turtle together.

Gongsun Long's reputation is completely over!

"You're insulting me, how can I not catch up with a turtle." Gongsun Long was furious.

"Well, if Mr. Zibing wants to catch up with the turtle, he must reach the starting point of the turtle, but when Mr. Zibing reaches the starting point of the turtle, the turtle crawls forward for some distance. Then Mr. Zibing had to take time to catch up with this distance, but at this time the turtle crawled forward again...... By analogy, we can conclude that Mr. Zibing will never be able to catch up with the turtle. Why did Mr. Zibing dare to say that he could catch up with a turtle? ”

Zhao Kuo said with a smile.

This is a famous paradox in ancient Greece: Zeno's tortoise has plagued people for many years, and is even more famous than Gongsun Long's white horse and non-horse.

"Hahaha, Gongsun Long, who can't catch up with the turtle." Ben couldn't help laughing, and Liu Ping hurriedly smashed him with his arm.

Pingyuan Jun and the doorman fell into deep thought, obviously in fact, Gongsun Long would definitely be able to catch up with the turtle, but according to Zhao Kuo, it was true that he would never be able to catch up.

And the more I think about it, the more I feel that Zhao Kuo is right, what the hell is going on?

You can't figure it out.

"I ...... I lost...... Tomorrow, I will donate all the money and food from my family to be a slave in Mafuzi's house. ”

Gongsun Long got up slowly, his eyes glazed over, and staggered outside.

"Ma Fuzi, it's obvious that Gongsun Long can actually catch up with the turtle, but why after listening to your words, the more I think about it, the more I feel that what you said is right, Gongsun Long will never be able to catch up with the turtle, what's going on."

After Gongsun Long left, a doorman saluted.

"It's very simple, because this question restricts a condition, that is, Gongsun Long reaches the previous node of the turtle, this condition seems to be no problem, but it is actually a trap."

"When Gongsun Long reached the previous node, the turtle crawled forward for some distance, so Gongsun Long could never catch up with the turtle. This sentence is transformed, in fact, it means that when Gongsun Long reaches the previous node of the turtle, he will never be able to catch up with the turtle. But the turtle moves, so this sentence actually means that Gongsun Long will never be able to catch up with the turtle until he catches up with the turtle. Look, that's nonsense. ”

"This question is actually the same as Gongsun Long's white horse. It's just a change of concept, replacing the original 'reaching the previous node' with 'forever'. When you reach the previous node, you can't catch up with the turtle, and you can never catch up with the turtle. ”

Later, Zeno's tortoise spread on the Internet was amazing, and some people even used the so-called dichotomy to interpret it from a mathematical point of view, complicating simple problems, and many people spared it.

In fact, Zeno's tortoise is just the same sophistry as the white horse and the non-horse, as long as you catch the trap he designed, you will naturally be able to see it.

"This is sophistry, the saying of the dead as alive and the wrong as right, without any meaning in itself."

"The purpose of the debate is to distinguish between different categories of things so that they do not infringe on each other. Distinguish between different concepts so that they are not confused. Express your intentions and general concepts, express your opinions, and let others understand, rather than being confused. ”

In this way, the winner of the debate can stand his ground, and the unsuccessful can get the truth he seeks, and such a debate can be carried out. If, like Gongsun Long, one uses red tape as a proof, uses clever words and ornaments to slander each other, and uses flowery rhetoric to steal concepts, and attracts others to make them lose the point, it will undermine the fundamental principle of learning. Such a debate, even if it is won, is meaningless. Zhao Kuo said.

"Ma Fuzi is talented." Including Pingyuanjun, everyone saluted Zhao Kuo happily and convincingly.

Zhao Kuo's words soon flew all over the Seven Kingdoms like wings, and his reputation skyrocketed instantly, and even had a tendency to overshadow the fourth son.

Countless people came to visit, scrambling to become Zhao Kuo's doorman.

There are even those who want to worship Zhao Kuo as a teacher, and there are countless people who want to debate with Zhao Kuo.

After the death of Zhao Hao, the Mafu Junfu Mansion became popular again.

"Ma Fuzi, rest assured, I will definitely persuade the nobles of Zhao to donate food to the front-line soldiers, and never let the front-line soldiers fight hungry."

Plains-kun assured.

"Thank you, Plains-kun." Zhao Kuo saluted.

After the banquet, Pingyuan Jun personally sent Zhao Kuo out of the house.

Looking at Zhao Kuo's back, Ping Yuanjun said slowly:

"This son has the style of a horse serving a king."
