The quarrel between the two on the field intensified,

Thankfully, it didn't work.

Cavendish Sh:

I want to see a river of blood!

Lu Shi: "......"

If Floyd and Gale really got into a fight, it would be troublesome.

He coughed lightly,

"Both."

This sentence seemed to have a magical power, and it imposed a silent curse on the audience.

In an instant, everyone's eyes fell on Lu Shi.

Lu Shi spreads his hands,

"Be elegant."

Freud immediately said: "But the problem is that Mr. Gale is not willing to refute my point of view, but is to be a fool of myself, and in this case I really don't know what to communicate." ”

Gail clasped his arms,

"Yes, I want to refute you too, I even bought a copy of "The Interpretation of Dreams". As a result, who would have thought that it was piracy? ”

Freud was quite happy when he said this,

"Piracy!? My book has pirated copies!? ”

Gail let out an "um",

"It's piracy."

The muscles on Freud's face trembled, but he couldn't hold back after all, laughing, and the words in his mouth: "My book is pirated!" Good! "The Interpretation of Dreams" has finally been recognized by the public! Hahahaha......"

Gail: "......"

Lu Shi: "......"

Cavendish "......"

There was silence at the scene, and the atmosphere was eerie.

After a while, Gale reacted,

"That...... Or...... I'll lend you a pirated copy of "The Interpretation of Dreams"? ”

As he spoke, he stepped down from the podium,

The briefcase was placed next to it, and the stitching freak lay inside.

Gail hesitated for a moment, but handed it over.

Freud took it with ecstasy, and as soon as he reached the catalog, his face changed, and the further back he turned, the more wrong it became, and his cheeks, which were ruddy from laughter, even turned purple, like pig lungs cut from a dead pig.

Cavendish asked in a low voice, "What's going on?" ”

Lu Shi sighed and told him about the pirated book.

"Poof!"

Cavendish couldn't hold back, completely ignoring the aristocrat's demeanor, and laughed directly.

He turned his face away,

"This guy is so miserable."

Lu Shi thought the same thing.

Everyone's eyes were focused on Freud, and they discussed in a low voice,

"That package does look like piracy."

"Why didn't he speak?"

"Well, maybe too happy. I'm going to go! You see! He was so happy that he was about to cry, tears rolling in his eyes~"

……

Men don't flick when they have tears,

It's just not to the happy place.

Suddenly, one of the students began to applaud,

"Dr. Freud, well done! It is the desire of every academic person to be recognized for their work. ”

People stood up,

A mountain of applause flooded the auditorium like a tsunami.

On the podium, Floyd and Gale looked at each other, and the atmosphere became even more eerie.

Half a minute later, the applause receded,

Gail sighed, not revealing the other party's secret, but still made up the knife: "Doctor Floyd, you also saw it, this is the situation. I do want to contradict you, but I don't know German......"

Freud's face turned from purple to black,

"I ...... Hmmm......"

By the time Gale took out the pirated book, it was clear whether he had won or lost.

"The Interpretation of Dreams" should be listed in the same place as "Zhou Li", "Zhuangzi", "Zhou Gong's Interpretation of Dreams", and "The Yellow Emperor's Neijing", indicating that the general public acquiesced to it as the work of the great god of jumping.

What else is there to justify this?

Tears, after all, can't hold back.

Drops of water slowly slid down his cheeks and into his beard, where they trickled down his beard and smashed into several petals.

Cavendish looked straight and shook his head,

"Alas......"

When he turned to land,

"A scholar from Austria is tossed like this, which is not Cambridge hospitality."

Lu Shiyi,

Mr. Principal can just say it if he wants to, and he is so righteous and awe-inspiring.

He stood up and pressed his hands down,

"Quiet."

The students fell silent again, and they all looked at Lu Shi.

Lu Shi asked, "Have you ever read the book "The Interpretation of Dreams"? ”

No one squeaked.

Whether psychology is a science or not has not yet been determined.

The academic works built on this are naturally not considered by Cambridge students to be worth reading.

Not to mention German!

Lu Shi said: "I have read this book. ”

As he spoke, he looked at Freud,

"Doctor, can I summarize your book in my own words?"

Freud was flattered and said, "Of course, of course, of course! ”

The referee personally went out of the field in favor,

And this kind of good thing?

Lu Shi said: "'The Interpretation of Dreams' describes Dr. Freud's theory of the unconscious, which is applicable to the analysis of dreams, and then extends to psychology to interpret the appearance of the subconscious in dreams. ”

The crowd turned their heads to each other,

"Professor Lu just used the word 'psychology', right?"

"It seems that Professor Lu has a positive attitude."

"We can't be superstitious about authority, because Professor Lu is not omnipotent, but then again, it is impossible to have an opinion without Professor Lu."

……

The students listened with bated breath.

Lu Shi said in a low voice: "Dr. Freud believes that 'dreams are the fulfillment of desires'. Do you agree with this? ”

The crowd is silent,

No one can answer definitively.

Lu Shi said: "In the book, Dr. Freud gives two examples, the first, one night, he dreamed that he was drinking water from the shrine, and the smell of the water woke him up; The second, his daughter dreamed that she had been playing on the lake all day. Can someone try to explain? ”

Freud's eyes widened,

He was shocked to find that Lu Shi had finished reading his book.

Someone asked, "Professor Lu, is the 'spirit shrine' you are talking about, really a 'spirit shrine'?" ”

Lu Shi nodded,

"Yes, it's the urn."

The students looked at each other and said in their hearts that it was really hard to eat.

At this moment, Gale on the stage spoke: "Professor Lu, I think so about the second dream. Could it be that his daughter wants to swim? Or play in the water? Or boating, fishing, or whatever? ”

Lu Shi smiled,

"Fishing is a bit old-fashioned."

The students laughed good-naturedly.

The atmosphere became a lot more relaxed.

Lu Shi nodded to Freud and said, "Doctor, explain it yourself." ”

Freud immediately said, "Let's talk about the second dream first." Actually, Mr. Gale guessed very much, that day, our family crossed the lake by boat, and my daughter wanted to stay on the boat, but her desire was not satisfied, so the dream of the fairy in the lake was born. As for the first one...... Actually, I was so thirsty. ”

Gail:???

"Thirsty?"

Freud nodded,

"Because when I drank water from the shrine, the water was too salty, and I woke up."

"Shhh...... Salty? ”

Gail took a step back, seeing that the other party's gaze changed,

Could this old brother really drink water in an urn?

He's a ruthless man!

Lu Shi smiled and said, "You have all seen it, this is what Dr. Freud said, 'Dreams are the fulfillment of desires'." However, this inevitably raises a problem that everyone should be able to think of. ”

The Cambridge students present were all top people, of course they could think of it.

Someone raised their hands.

Lu Shi nodded at him,

"Say."

The student said, "There are a lot of dreams that are the opposite of desires, aren't they?" For example, I am most afraid of mathematical analysis, my desire is not to take exams, but when I dream, I often dream that I can't finish the questions, or I can't get a pass. ”

Lu Shi snapped his fingers,

“Bingo！”

He turned to Freud,

"Look, isn't it a bit like an exchange meeting? Doctor, can you answer him? ”

Freud had regained his self-confidence by this time,

"Of course. In the book, I use an example from a friend who has been a classmate for eight years. He was a lawyer, but he dreamed that he had lost all the lawsuits, so he scoffed at my theories. I avoided the sharp edge of his words and said, 'You can't always win.'" Therefore, people have a desire in their hearts, they can't be excellent all the time, and they always hope that they will be stupid once. ”

This seems to be reasonable,

But......

"It's not scientific!"

Immediately, a student stepped forward.

Freud raised his eyebrows slightly,

"Unscientific? What about your evidence? Conclusions without arguments are unacceptable. ”

The student scratches his head, always feeling that there is something wrong with the other person's words,

He said, "Give me an hour, and I'll be able to find out what you're saying and prove that your claims aren't scientific." ”

An hour is too long.

Lu Shi said: "It's better for me to come." ”

He took a deep breath and said to Freud: "Psychology wants to become psychology, in fact, it is a process of elevating from conclusions to science. So, what is the nature of science? ”

That's too big to say,

Who can claim to have touched on the essence of science?

I'm afraid there is no one who even touches the edge.

Cavendish coughed lightly, "Professor Lu, be cautious in your words and deeds. ”

Lu Shi said: "Of course, what I said is just the words of a family. In my mind, science is not a 'truth', but a kind of constant 'being confirmed', and of course, it must also be falsified. ”

This is the view of the famous philosopher Karl Popper, which has been basically recognized by later generations of scientists.

Interestingly,

Popper was also Austrian-born and of Jewish descent.

No one spoke at the scene,

Silence descended, as if a pin drop could be heard.

Almost all students were thinking and chewing on Lu Shi's sentence "Science is not a 'truth', but a kind of continuous 'being proven', and of course, it must also have the possibility of being falsified."

This sentence is too shocking!

Perhaps, this sentence is the most noteworthy point of this exchange meeting.

Lu Shi coughed lightly,

"Ladies and gentlemen, let's continue with the topic we just had. Did you find anything? ”

The crowd was pulled back to the discussion.

Gail was the first to react,

"Sophistry. Dr. Freud's statement is, in essence, a sophistry that cannot be falsified. What his classmates came up with was obviously a counterexample, but he directly denied the possibility of being falsified, and instead said that his own words were the 'truth'. ”

Lu Shi took over the conversation,

"Yes, if psychology is like that, then it's just a conclusion, not a science."

Freud thought for a while and said, "Professor Lu, what do you think of the book "The Interpretation of Dreams"? ”

He didn't seem to want to die yet.

Lu Shi smiled: "It can't be falsified...... Do you want to say that the book "The Interpretation of Dreams" is almost philosophical? ”

When Freud heard this, he couldn't help but be terrified,

It was terrifying that his mind was completely guessed by the other party.

Lu Shi shrugged,

"Still, I read some scientific pursuits in this book, Dr. Freud, do you want to deny yourself?"

Freud was speechless,

He's a rubber,

But there is also a pursuit of rubbing-

Let the study of psychology or psychiatry develop into psychology.

He pondered for a moment and said, "Professor Lu, you only refuted one place, is there anything else?" ”

"One place?"

The corners of Lu Shi's mouth are hooked,

"Frankly, a lot of the examples in your book are not scientific. For example, you tell the dream of a man named Murray who dreamed that he was in the midst of the French Revolution and was strangled to death......"

Freud immediately corrected: "Not strangulation, it's beheading." ”

Lu Shi: "Huh? "Voice,

He remembered that it was strangulation, and it should be right,

In this way, the first edition is indeed different from the modern version.

Of course, it is also possible that Freud's successors revised the content of the book and published it in different publishing houses.

A lot of writers like to do this,

For example, Yuval Harari, the writer of "A Brief History of Mankind", will use different examples as arguments when publishing different editions in different countries, such as the Chinese edition, which has many examples of the Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States Period.

This does convince the local audience, but again, it has a scientific impact.

Fortunately, "A Brief History of Mankind" is a popular science book, and the requirements are not strict.

Interestingly, Harari was also Jewish.

Lu Shi said: "So, Dr. Freud, in the example you gave, how do you explain it? ”

Freud laughed: "Actually, the reason is very simple. Murray dreams of being beheaded because he was struck in the neck by a wooden board while sleeping. He developed a desire to move the plank, and as a result, his subconscious had a nightmare and was forced to wake up. ”

After listening to this paragraph, Lu Shi did not answer,

He turned around and looked at the students, the smile on his face was warm and free,

The smile seemed to say, "It's up to you." ”

Sure enough, someone raised their hand,

"I have a problem."

Lu Shi tapped him with his finger,

"Say it."

The student stood up, gathered his thoughts, and said, "When people are dreaming, they don't know the prophet, right?" ”

Freud asked rhetorically, "Isn't that a great dancer?" Of course, there will be no prophets! ”

The student then asked, "So, the plank fell and hit the neck, it should have been a moment, right?" ”

"Ah......h

Freud was asked again.

Everyone present understood the problem,

As the students say, the smashing of the board to the neck is done instantaneously, while the dream is very long, even starting from the background of the French Revolution,

In the case of unpredictable prophets, it can't be said that in order to be finally beheaded, there will be a long period of foreshadowing, right?

Even if the dumpling vinegar is delicious, there is no reason to make dumplings for the sake of jealousy.

unless

"In dreams, the human mind is accelerated?"

Students draw conclusions.

Freud was a little embarrassed,

In the original text of "The Interpretation of Dreams", there is indeed a similar statement:

"All we can say is that we must acknowledge the elusive advantage of the dream-making mechanic, which accelerates the process of mental activity at an astonishing rate."

This is only a conclusion, and again, there is no argument.

In the current atmosphere, it is enough to say this point of view and wait to be besieged by Gail and the students.

So can't say.

Seeing that Floyd was silent in response, Lu Shi knew it was time to make a concluding speech.

He said: "Students should know that although I study history, I personally believe that scientific research is convergent, so I highly respect the thinking of science and engineering. In my opinion, according to the subjective statements of the respondents, there is no process of analysis and proof, and the process of directly using theories to solve the given problem is not rigorous. ”

The students nodded,

Even if the conclusion is right, it is not okay to use the wrong method to reach the right conclusion.

This is contrary to the spirit of science.

Lu Shi continued: "Moreover, most of the interviewees in 'The Interpretation of Dreams' are Austrian Jews, a specific group, is there a universal law? ”

He paused,

"I can give a direct answer here, not universal. The reason I'm so sure...... Hum...... If you know how my polling project in the University of London Consortium works, you must have come to this conclusion. ”

Everyone was stunned,

forthwith

"Hahahahaha!"

Laugh.

Lu Shi looked at Freud,

I saw him with his head bowed, like a defeated rooster.

Lu Shi said: "However, this does not mean that "The Interpretation of Dreams" has no merits. I even think that it has a pioneering effect. ”
