The World of Deities - Chapter 556
“Next, let’s talk about Greece and Persia. I believe that there is no doubt that both Greece and Persia are in a stage of rapid development. The magic of Greece is the world’s top, and the development of philosophy, geometry, theoretical knowledge and technology, It has far surpassed any country. This is not boasting, but something that has actually happened in the past few decades.”
Almost everyone nodded.
Su Ye continued: “It is certain that Persia is also developing rapidly, but please note that the development of Persia and the development of Greece are not in the same direction. The development of Greece is magic, philosophy, geometry, knowledge and Technology, Persia is also making great efforts in this area. However, Persian resources are used in the two most important places, one is war, and the other is luxury goods. Then it comes to magic and knowledge. No one can deny this, right?”
Everyone agrees.
“War and territorial expansion can indeed bring wealth to the country, and war can also vigorously promote technological innovation, but the problem is that as the investment in war continues to increase, after reaching a limit, the more investment in war, the ultimate The income is gradually decreasing. The simplest example, when we only have 100 golden eagles all over our body, it takes a month to earn a new 100 golden eagles. We will be very happy. This is a typical low-consumption and high-development. But we When there were 100 million golden eagles, it took us a month to earn 100 golden eagles. We would swear at people because this is a typical high-consumption low-development.”
Everyone smiled and nodded. This metaphor is very vivid.
“Luxury is not much to say. Persia is extravagant throughout the country. Their excellent magicians and craftsmen spend their energy on making gems and making gold and silver jewelry. But what about us Greeks? We make new living utensils. Researching new paper, we are developing navigation technology, we are exploring the sky, starry sky, ocean, philosophy, magic, and technology. These areas will inevitably explode after a long time of accumulation.”
“Moreover, there are gods, we Greece There has been no large-scale internal fighting between the city-states for many years, and internal consumption has been reduced to a minimum.”
“To sum up, Greece is a low-consumption and high-development country, while Persia is a high-consumption and high-development country. Now, let me ask you again, in the long run, will the future belong to Persia or Greece?”
“Greece! “
Warm applause sounded in the chamber.
Climella whispered: “Teacher Su Ye is too good.”
Palos nodded slightly, and continued to stop, suddenly stopped, raised her head and glanced at Su Ye secretly.
Su Ye smiled and said, “I can only say that from this perspective, with this method, the future belongs to Greece, but from another perspective, the result is not necessarily. Even in Greece, it is in the stage of’low consumption and high development’. It belongs to Greece. However, if one day a country surpasses Greece, such as Rome or Northern Europe, their consumption is lower than Greece, and their development is faster than Greece. Because consumption development is relative, Greece will become high consumption and low development. The country, then, the future belongs to the new country.”
“Okay, very good, you show us the bravery of young people and the wisdom of magicians. Then, we continue to discuss the most intense issue just now, how should we treat Persia Is it a full-scale confrontation, or to reduce confrontation, abandon some of the benefits, and make concessions?” Larence asked.
Su Ye was embarrassed.
The teachers laughed. The discussion just now was the most intense in the audience.
Those who support all-out confrontation almost scold those who support retreat as traitors, slaves, and kneeling clan.
Those who support the concession, almost scolded the person who was in full confrontation as a stupid or a mindless barbarian.
If it hadn’t been for Larence to stop, the two sides would definitely curse.
“Let’s say, you don’t answer, this year you have failed ten subjects.” Larence said with a smile.
The teachers also laughed.
Su Ye looked at Nideen in an angry manner, all he learned from you.
Nidern looked calm, it’s my shit?
“I have seen your point of view, let’s say it.” Niedern sold his teammates decisively.
“Oh? You already have an opinion? Talk about it!” Aristotle was curious.
During this meeting, Aristotle had not spoken. When everyone saw that he had spoken, they became more curious about Su Ye.
Su Ye said helplessly: “Before answering this question, I will ask the two sides who had the most intense quarrel just now. Teacher Gregory, you are the main combatant. So, what are you doing to attack Persia?”
“Of course it is to defeat Persia, Persia is immortal, Greece can never be strong.” Gregory said.
“Okay, then, Teacher Cadelius, you said that while fighting, in order to preserve Greece, you can sacrifice part of the benefits to retreat and seek peace. Then, what is your purpose of seeking peace with Persia?”
“I said before. In order to accumulate strength, look for opportunities, and ultimately defeat Persia. You can’t lose everything because of a momentary impulse.” Cadriius said.
Su Ye nodded, and said: “Then I’ll be straightforward. I think that the opponents of the two sides are not wrong, but they also overlooked a very important issue.”
“The two sides are concerned about the other’s’what’s doing’. One side thinks that the other side is backing down, and naturally infers that the other side has no backbone and is suspected of surrendering, and then pushes backwards, believing that the other side is on the Persian side, and will eventually harm Greece, thinking that the other side is the enemy.”
“The other side believes that it supports full confrontation. Yes, it is blind and stupid, because war cannot solve the real problem. Instead, it will make the problem bigger and bigger. Naturally, it will be reversed. The other party’s behavior may drag Greece into an endless abyss and ultimately harm Greece. Enemy.”
“The end result is bound to be both sides swearing, even in order to prove that they are right and the other is wrong, they are hostile to each other, but they have forgotten that our common enemy is Persia outside.”
Everyone was silent.
Su Ye continued: “I am different from both sides. I didn’t pay attention to’what are both sides doing’. I don’t push back. I first pay attention to’why both sides do this.’ Then why are both sides sitting here to discuss this matter? It’s to protect Greece! To make Greece better! That’s weird. Both of you think that the other is harming Greece, but I think that both of you are protecting Greece? Think about it carefully. Is it harming Greece or helping Greece?” The
chamber was silent.
“Indeed, both sides are helping Greece, and I almost fell into it.” Larence sighed.
Some people nodded slightly.
Su Yedao: “In other words, when judging each other, the two sides used the wrong order of inference, first looking at the surface, and then inferring the wrong reason from the outside, and finally nailing the other party to the wrong crime wall. But I, or a few people, first look for the cause directly, and then get the final result from the inside out. The order of our thinking is different, and the final result is completely opposite.”
“This is very good. I have to write it down carefully. This is What you said…positive sequence logic, right?” Euclid recorded it carefully.
The golden mages were stunned for a moment, glanced at the masters of the sanctuary who were recording, and took out the magic book to record.
Among the silver magicians, most of them took serious notes, but there were still a few who were stunned, looking confused.
After a while, Larence looked at everyone who had finished recording, and asked: “So, do you think we should fight in an all-round way, or should we give in while we fight?”
“The level at which the problem occurs can never be solved. We must penetrate this level to find a way to solve the problem from a deeper level. For the simplest example, we feel itchy in our body, just scratch it. However, if we itch often and spend a lot of time every day scratching it, what will happen? It must be that the skin all over the body is red and cracked, but still can’t solve the “itching”. If we only blame the body itching, or just Blame yourself for the wrong scratch, then we will never be able to solve the problem. What will we actually do? We will penetrate the apparent “itch”, determine that it is a kind of “disease”, and then seek medical treatment for help. After treatment, we When the disease is cured, it doesn’t itch, so it’s not scratching.”
“Itching is the level of the problem, and scratching is the solution to the level of occurrence, but this method can’t actually solve the problem. But we found that the deeper level is’something ‘The disease’, and then we can solve the itch and solve the problem by curing the disease.”
“Using this principle, we look back, the teachers of the two sides, all the logic is’Persian attacks us, how do we fight back Persia’, that is to say, the itch came, we tickled it. Remember the question I asked Gregory and Cadelius at the beginning? I added’Persia’ to the question.”
“I asked Teacher Gregory, why should we attack Persia in an all-round way? His answer is, of course, to destroy Persia.”
“I asked Teacher Cadriius what is the purpose of seeking peace with Persia. His answer was to accumulate strength. Find time to defeat Persia.”
“It all seems okay, but when I abandon Persia and we think together,’we sit here and discuss why this matter’, I said that everyone is to protect Greece, and everyone thinks Of course. So, why is it like this?”
“Because we are easily attracted to surface goals and forget to explore deep goals, we will never be able to solve the problem…”
“Then, the last time I asked, we participated in this meeting, and our hearts were genuine What do you want to do is to protect Greece or defeat Persia? The one who protects Greece raises his left hand, and the one who defeats Persia raises his right hand.”
Larence took the lead in raising his left hand.
Afterwards, most people raised their left hands, and only a few people resolutely raised their right hands.
“Very well, for all those who raised their right hands, I can tell the truth, you are tickling and don’t want to treat the disease. In other words, you think the itching is the cause, and you think that the itching is the purpose, but no, it is the cure. Purpose. Just like, Persian aggression is just the appearance, but you take it as the cause. And defeating Persia is the goal, but in fact, defeating Persia is only a means. Our real goal is not to defeat Persia, but to protect Greece and peace. Both of these. They seem to be the same, but they are like a world of difference.”
Some people looked unhappy.
