Chapter 127: The Three-View Destroyer
With the arrival of a large number of students in the cafeteria, it has gradually become full of people, but fortunately, Cheng Mo and they are sitting on the side of the wall, which is not a densely populated place for the time being, so it is quite clean.
Cheng Mo didn't pay attention to the surrounding environment, nor did he look at the expressions of the three people, but said softly in his unemotional voice: "We have to tell a story first...... This is the story my father told me when he told me about Developmental Psychology....."
"The story goes like this: There was a young brother and sister who went camping with their friends and got separated. It was getting late, so the two of them only had to set up a tent for the night, but the younger brother's tent was broken. In desperation, my sister and brother slept together. Then the two of them couldn't help but have something that shouldn't have happened, and in the case of protective measures, both of them felt very happy afterwards, and agreed to keep it secret for life and never try again. ”
After a pause, Cheng Mo asked, "The story is over, two questions: are they doing the right thing, and why?"
"Of course not! This is a mess!" Yan Yitong first said with a red face, the story that Cheng Mo said was too shameless in Yan Yitong's opinion, how could he tell such a story?
And Fu Yuanzhuo said with a shocked face: "Damn, your father is really hanging!" A few words were written on his face clearly: Your father can even ask this kind of question, which is really devastating.
Only Xie Minyun didn't speak, thoughtful.
"Then what are they doing wrong?" Cheng Mo turned a blind eye to the shock of Yan Yitong and Fu Yuanzhuo, and asked expressionlessly.
"They still need to ask, because they have violated morality and ethics....." Yan Yitong whispered with a red face, her behavior at the moment was completely different from her usual jumps, as if she was afraid that others would hear what they were discussing.
Cheng Mo shook his head and continued to ask: "Think about it seriously, they didn't hurt anyone, they took protective measures, they wouldn't give birth to children, and they agreed to keep it secret for life, and they wouldn't try it again in the future, why was it wrong?"
"In short, this is not right! It's disgusting!" Yan Yitong said with a frown.
Cheng Mo glanced at Yan Yitong and said lightly: "The purpose of this story is not to discuss the rights and wrongs of this matter with you, but to tell you that for the vast majority of us, moral judgment always precedes moral reason....... Your gut tells you it's wrong, so you think it's wrong, but you can't necessarily say why. ”
"And this intuition is told to you by authority and society, just like cheating, no matter what the situation, when we hear cheating, we will subconsciously think that cheating is wrong! If you have already preset your position and intuitively think that 'cheating must be wrong', then you have lost the opportunity to understand the essence of cheating, so if you want to see the essence of things clearly, you must destroy the three views....... In Marx's words, it is the emancipation of the mind. ”
As soon as Cheng Mo's turning point came out, Yan Yitong and Fu Yuanzhuo were surprised again, and they suddenly realized that this was indeed the case.
And Xie Minyun was even more looking forward to what Cheng Mo would say next, and she quietly put down her chopsticks, held her breath, and pricked up her ears to listen.
Then Cheng Mo changed his words and said: "I read Tolstoy's "Resurrection" when I was in junior high school, and I liked this book very much, because although Toon is a literary scholar, he is writing books with the thinking of a philosopher and economist, so the book "Resurrection" is full of torture and pursuit of the soul and society..... This book is a bit ahead of its time...."
"What does cheating have to do with "Resurrection"?" Suddenly jumped to "Resurrection" again, Fu Yuanzhuo was very confused.
Yan Yitong patted Fu Yuanzhuo's arm, "Don't interrupt!"
Cheng Mo ignored Fu Yuanzhuo's question, closed his eyes slightly, and then said softly: "Let me read one of the passages from "Resurrection" to you: Usually people always think that thieves, murderers, spies, and maids will admit that their profession is lowly and they will be ashamed. In fact, it's the opposite. Those who have fallen by fate or by their own creation, no matter how humble their position, often have this view of life, as if their position is justified and noble. In order to maintain such a view, they always instinctively cling to those who affirm their views on life and the place they are in. ”
"But we would be amazed if thieves boasted of their tricks, and maidens boasted of their sensuality, and murderers boasted of their cruelty. The reason why we are amazed is simply because these people live in a narrow circle and have special habits, while we are outsiders. ”
Halfway through his reading, Cheng Mo paused slightly, and was about to continue, but he heard Xie Minyun recite after his words: "However, if the rich boast of their wealth, that is, their ingenuity, the military governor boasts of their victory, that is, their bloody massacres, and the ruler boasts of their might, that is, their violence and cruelty, are they not all the same thing? We do not see that these people distort the concept of life, that they reverse good and evil in order to justify their status, but that they have a larger circle and a larger number of people. And we ourselves are people in this circle. ”
After reading this paragraph, Xie Minyun sighed softly, Cheng Mo's way of solving the problem is too high-level, the knowledge he has mastered, and his absolutely rational thinking logic have made him far beyond his peers.
It is really a tiger father without a dog.
Cheng Mo listened to Xie Minyun's recitation, and the corners of his mouth curved and said, "Now you understand, what is right and what is wrong?"
Yan Yitong glanced at Xie Minyun, who understood in his heart, and was a little uncomfortable, so he didn't make a sound.
Fu Yuanzhuo, who was in the same fog as Yan Yitong, shook his head directly and said, "I don't understand." ”
Cheng Mo explained: "Let's put it this way! When I read this paragraph of "Resurrection", I actually did not come to the conclusion that 'cheating is wrong', but just to tell you that in the field of value judgment, there is no right or wrong, only pros and cons. What is good for you, it is likely that you will feel that it is right. So whether cheating is a mistake or not depends a lot on your value stance. That's what we often hear: the butt decides the head. ”
"Like women who have lost their footing, they make money by their own labor, what's wrong, and whether you judge the right or wrong profession depends largely on whether you are a customer or a customer's wife..... Therefore, every value judgment we make has its own interests and positions....."
"Therefore, the reason why cheating on exams is incorrect in our eyes is that each of us is a student, and if we can openly use cheating to pass exams, then not only will the exams be meaningless, but also the interests of all students who must pass the exams to obtain subsequent benefit distribution....."
"Didn't you admit that cheating was incorrect?" Yan Yitong couldn't help but remind.
Xie Minyun looked at Yan Yitong and said: "What he said here is 'incorrect', 'incorrect' does not mean 'wrong', and 'exam cheating' is not 'cheating', what he wants to say is never as simple as 'exam cheating'." ”
Cheng Mo turned his head to look at Xie Minyun's side face, a little strange why this indifferent and fierce girl would help him speak, the woman's mind was always something that Cheng Mo found incredible, illogical.
Cheng Mo didn't think much about it, let alone look at it more, for fear that Xie Minyun would scold him, he turned around and continued: "There is no doubt that the campus is a small society, and we can regard cheating as a bad habit on campus, but is cheating really only existing in exams? Of course not." ”
"Do you know when I cheated for the first time? It was when I was in elementary school, there was a leader of the school who came to inspect the school, and the school not only organized a grand welcome ceremony, but also a song and dance performance, and I stood in the middle of the choir and found that as long as everyone else spoke, it didn't matter if I sang or not, so I learned to lip-sync in order to save effort..... Cheating makes it easier for me, so why don't I cheat?"
This example is very common, almost all students have experienced it, so Yan Yitong couldn't help but smile, her laughter has always been low.
"Actually, going back to the past, even earlier, when I joined the Young Pioneers and took the oath, my cheating life began, I don't know if you still remember which oath, it was probably one of the most shameless lies I have ever told in my life. ”
Speaking of this, Fu Yuanzhuo also laughed "haha", "I have also told this lie, and I am always ready for XXXXXXXXXX ......"
Xie Minyun couldn't help but bend the corners of his mouth slightly.
Waiting for Fu Yuanzhuo's exaggerated laughter to stop, Cheng Mo continued: "Because my grades are quite good, I never cheat in exams, but what I have the most contact with is cheating, every time an excellent teacher is evaluated, before the open class, the teachers will take a lesson in our class in advance, telling us everyone to raise their hands, but she will only point to those with good grades, and remind us after school that a few people will be clicked, how to answer more perfectly....."
"I am not humble to say that my essay writing is very good, far beyond the level of my peers, when I was in junior high school, the Chinese teacher who taught me sent my essay to the composition magazine for publication, and wrote that he was the instructor, but he did not help me change a word....."
"Because our class had the best grades, there were health supplement companies that gave us free health supplements to drink, and later I saw their promotional slogan mentioning our class ....."
"When we were faced with the health inspection, the school organized each of us to go to the street to shovel the small advertisements near the school, and the whole school was closed for cleaning....."
"In this world, it is not only exam cheating called cheating, cheating is everywhere in this world, and there are all kinds of means...."
"And is there only one way to cheat in exams? It's not uncommon for a few famous ethnic groups to add more than a dozen points to the college entrance examination, right? It doesn't matter if you can't add points, find a way to move your household registration to a remote area or the capital of Shanghai, isn't it unusual? Isn't it uncommon to have a special recruitment quota? Isn't it uncommon to entrust training? In contrast, cheating at a huge risk during the exam is only a very small minority, and it is also unfair, but why do we only hate those cheaters who use cheat sheets, peek at other people's answers, and ask for the test on their behalf?"
"The reason why we hate these people so much about cheating in exams using cheat sheets, peeking at answers, and asking for substitute exams is just because they not only infringe on our interests, but we can also easily push them into the abyss...... So when you understand that there is no right or wrong means, and there is no high or low level of success or failure, you really understand that I am not wrong to cheat...."
"Cheating happens all the time in this world, cheating when looking for a job, cheating when you go to lawsuits, cheating when you have to cheat in performance appraisals, cheating when you have to cheat in XX inspections, cheating when you write books, and even cheating when you fall in love...... Since cheating is wrong, why is there so much cheating that everyone turns a blind eye and takes it for granted?"
After Cheng Mo finished asking, there was silence around him, and even the people who were eating at the next table stopped eating and listened quietly.
After finishing speaking, Cheng Mo pushed his glasses, stood up, and said indifferently: "You must know that the essence of cheating is not a skill, but a philosophy of survival. If you don't understand this truth and don't learn to cheat on the spiritual level, then there is no doubt that you are just a wooden fish head, and you can only be reduced to a low-end population forever. ”
Applause erupted.
