The World of Deities Chapter 327: The first principle
,
Climella suddenly opened her small cherry lips slightly, seeming to understand something.
Su Ye smiled and said: "Yes, I have broken through the limitation of'in-combat'. Outside the battle, I have found a'first principles' that can accomplish my goal. This method may be useless for others. , Does not apply to everyone, will be opposed by many people, and may not even apply to the future me, but for me now, it is the supreme method of fighting. This supreme method is very simple, That is, before the battle, use your best to accumulate strength, including learning magic, improving your status, gaining the attention of masters, meeting partners, building business alliances, exchanging money for magic tools, strengthening your own magic, etc. to strengthen yourself, and then , With a powerful force, defeat any enemy in battle."
Crimella's eyes widened and said: "I like this supreme method. Moreover, from your way of thinking, it seems that you can summarize another method or thinking, that is, if you want to solve something, don’t Only limited to it, you can also jump out. For example, you obviously want to find a supreme fighting method, but you find it outside of the battle. This method seems to be the first in a certain field. The principle of sex'"
Su Ye smiled slightly and said: "Your acumen and wisdom are amazing. This concept is called subversive innovation. For example, ancient humans could only collect wild food, but some sages jumped out of'collecting' The scope of "cultivation" began. Some sages jumped out of the scope of "hunting" and completed the "cultivation"."
There are still many examples of subversive innovation in Su Ye’s mind. From Euclidean geometry to non-Euclidean geometry, from classical mechanics to quantum mechanics, from horse-drawn carriages to fuel vehicles, and from fuel vehicles to electric vehicles, they all jump directly out of the box. Certain restrictions in the original field are all subversive innovations.
"I understand that in the field of'innovation', this kind of subversive innovation can be regarded as a kind of'first principles'. Of course, this is just what I think is the first principle in the field of innovation. You can find his own first principles in the field of innovation." Crimella said.
Su Ye felt that this girl was so smart, and continued: "You are very correct. In fact, we are inseparable from the broad first principles at all times. To give the simplest example, There are two mothers who both have children. However, in the field of'caring for children', the first principles of the two are different. A mother believes that it is most important for her to protect her children, that is, she loves her children. The first principle is'protection'. Another mother thinks that it is more important for her children to get proper frustration and exercise. In other words, her first principle of loving her child is'exercise'."
"Then, because the two mothers follow different first principles, they treat their children very differently. By extension, there are one or more kinds of "first principles" in each of us. One principle', this first principle, governs our language, actions and thinking, etc., and ultimately determines everything about us."
"I have always liked to say to myself, if my words, actions, and thinking are all right, then I have long been a top person in my field, but I am not a top master in the magic world, then, it must be In what area I am not doing well enough. In what area is it not good enough? I have not found a better "first principles" in every field, even if I have heard of this kind of "first principles" , But I did not follow suit. Therefore, my speech, behavior, thinking, ability, etc. are not good enough. Therefore, I am not a top master in the magic world."
"I'm a little confused." Crimella said.
"This is a very esoteric theory, but it seems very simple. We can almost immediately understand the sentence'there are first principles in every field'. We also mistakenly think we understand, but in fact , As our thinking deepens, we will find ourselves more and more confused, but if we continue to think, keep thinking, and keep practicing, we will truly understand. If anyone sees it and thinks that they can fully understand, or the brain avoids fatigue Thinking of deceiving yourself habitually, or, like Master Socrates and Master Plato, you have truly mastered the first principles and changed the world. If you say you don’t understand, I’m very happy because you can recognize yourself.” Su Yedao.
"How can it be considered a thorough understanding of first principles?" Crimella asked.
"With the theme of'first principles', write a book, a book that you can understand and others can understand, then this means that you really understand, understand, and master First principles." Su Yedao.
"Do you fully understand the first principles?" The girl's eyes shimmered.
"I have only recently discovered the concept of first principles. If you are a little arrogant, it can be said that you can master it in about ten years. If you are humble, I may spend a whole life learning it."
"So, how do you learn and master first principles?" Crimella asked.
Su Ye smiled and said: "After talking about the basic concepts of first principles, we need to learn how to use first principles. There are several key learning points in first principles. The first point is the truth. Dominate the truth', do not use the truth to dominate the truth. In other words, use the truth as the first principle, and don’t use the general principles that everyone says as the first principle."
"Can you give me an example?" Climelar said.
"When we are doing alchemy or refining potions, it seems that we just put all the materials in a container, which is similar to cooking. Then, can we say that alchemy and refining potions are just doing Vegetables?" Su Ye asked.
"It sounds reasonable, it sounds similar, but I don’t think I can say that."
"Yes, the reason is very simple. In this false statement, we only extract the'similarity' or the'identity', and ignore the'different' and the'difference', and ignore the huge difference in nature. If we always use general principles to explain phenomena, we will always fall into the “understanding trap” and thus miss the truth. We can connect the “truth” with the “truth” to facilitate memorization and learning, but we must learn to distinguish.”
"The first point is extended, that is, we’d better use the solid theories of the basic disciplines as our first principles, rather than using the slang and truths in life as our First principles." Su Yedao.
"Can you give me an example?" Climelar said.
Su Ye smiled and said: "Very well, you didn't say that you understand, nor did you feel embarrassed for asking questions."
"For example, we need to find a first principle for the'field of study'. We find that there are classification methods in botany, and we usually place things and classify them. Then, we should choose more in botany. Systematic classification method, rather than choosing the classification method in life as our first principle."
"For another example,'equivalent exchange' is the foundation of alchemy, but our daily trading transactions seem to be an equivalent exchange and have similarities. If you want to choose the first of the two According to the principle of sex, we must choose the equivalent exchange in alchemy, not the buying and selling in life."
"I still don't quite understand, why can't I replace something similar? I understand the truth, but I don't understand why." Crimella said.
Su Ye thought for a while, and said slowly: "Everyone sees this truth from a different perspective. My point is, since we have to choose a road, should we choose a road that changes in length, width, and terrain at any time, or choose A grand avenue that has remained unchanged for a long time?"
"The latter." Crimella said.
"If we choose a guiding light, should we choose a light that is flickering and dimming, large and small, and sometimes flickering, or a stable, bright, constant, and clear lamp?"
"The latter." Crimella said.
"Then you can find that buying and selling in the market changes. There are even selling at a loss or selling at a high price. There is no real measure. However, in alchemy, the equivalent exchange is the current Even for a long period of time, it cannot be overturned. Then, the concept of equivalent exchange in alchemy is more like the grand avenue and the eternal light." Su Yedao.
"The question is, how do we make sure that our own first principles must be grandeur and eternal beacon?" Crimella said.
Su Ye stretched out his hands and said: "It is impossible to be sure. Even the solid theories of various disciplines may be changed and may be subverted. However, the solid theories of basic disciplines are'relatively' compared to Other theories and principles are closer to the truth. Since there are things that are closer to the truth, why should we choose those that are far away from the truth? Just because things that are far from the truth are close to us and we are easy to get, so we give up the pursuit of'more truth' Right?"
Climella remained silent for a long time, her eyes moving.
Su Ye continued: "The second point of the first principles is to'pay attention to the applicable boundary.' Each first principle can cover a limited area."
"Each of us has many fields. Take myself as an example. There are magic fields, learning fields, business fields, social fields, life fields, thinking fields... and so on. Take social Take the field as an example. This field needs to be subdivided, such as'family communication, school communication, work communication' and so on. Moreover, it can continue to be subdivided according to different communication objects. The reason for the subdivision is that we are very It is difficult to communicate with everyone in the'same way'."
"I’ll give you a mistake that everyone makes. When I was in Lion Harbor, I met a small boss. This small boss found that if he treats the workers well, the workers will be sneaky and slippery. However, If you have a strong voice and often intimidate, those workers will be obedient. For example, if you ask the worker to do something, he will threaten him and say that if he doesn’t do it well, he will lower his pay, and if he doesn’t do well, he will give him a fight. He has always been right. The worker speaks in a threatening tone, and it has always been smooth, and then he is complacent, and even proclaims everywhere that he has found a good way to manage workers, thinking that this can solve all problems. Then, his threatening thinking when'talking to workers' is His first principles."
"Later, I found something that surprised me. He actually treated his wife and son in a'threatening' way. His wife and children were often scared and trembling by him. Later, his children grew up and started Rebelling against him. He is not a person who is wise enough. He does not know how to reflect. He does not think about why this is the case. He only thinks that what he did is effective for the workers and for everything. There is nothing wrong with him. It must be a child. As a result, his son ran away from home and was killed by the bandit."
"Just when he was desperate, he had a conflict with a bronze soldier, so he even intimidated him. As a result, the bronze soldier was annoyed by him, smashed his shop, and often brought people to harass him, and finally let him Bankruptcy. This incident sounds incredible to us, but in fact, everyone is making similar mistakes."
"We can't communicate with different people in the same way. In other words, we can't use one first principle to dominate all fields." Su Yedao.
Climella thought for a while, and said: "I probably understand what you mean. However, there seems to be other things behind this point, infinitely subdivided, and there seems to be something hidden."
"Very well, you are indeed a spiritual follower of the masters. Divide the big domain into medium domains, divide the middle domain into small domains, divide the small domains into micro domains, and continue to subdivide until the points are inseparable. For each field, we have to use different thinking, behavior or language to find their own'first principles'. This method is particularly suitable for a'single field'. For example, a person only studies'life-prolonging medicine' in his life 'You can use this method to study life-prolonging medicine to the extreme. What did you think of this method? Please answer, Crimella." Su Ye smiled.
"Atomism!" Crimella replied happily.
"Yes! This kind of continuous decomposition theory is based on the'atom theory', but through the atom theory, a kind of thinking behind the master Democritus is extracted. This kind of thinking is called ' Reductionism'. Reductionism is a kind of infinite division of thinking."
"And the first principle, in some respects, is exactly the opposite of reductionism, not pursuing more detailed and deeper, but higher and lesser. For example, we want to be in the'social field' To do it well, I don’t need to consider how many classifications there are, or how many situations there are. I only need to find one or a few few supreme methods, one or a few constant thoughts, and the guidance of these kinds of thoughts. Next, come to deal with everyone. Some people say, this is impossible, I will say, it is difficult, but I will try to pursue it! For example, in the social field, "win-win thinking" may be regarded as a first principle."
"I like what you said, and besides, I confess my mistakes to you. From now on, there is no'impossible' in my world, only'I will learn'." Crimella is like a cheerful bird The same.
Her smile and bright eyes completely conceal the birthmark on her face.
Su Ye smiled and said: "The first principle is itself a first principle, and reductionism is also a first principle."
Climella went through the whole sentence in her mind, and after thinking about it, she nodded vigorously.
"I understand."
"The third point of the first principles is to use continuously and repeatedly. Only by constantly using, and only using attentively, can we truly master and transform into our abilities. Many people feel that the process of hard work is very bitter. , But why not imagine the sweetness after completion?"
"Your words are like the North Star that guides the way, and like the thunder of the King of Gods." In Climella's eyes, the sky is shining.
Su Ye smiled slightly and said: "This is the pattern I have learned after studying the experiences of countless masters and sages: they are very lucky to discover some kind of powerful first principles since they were young. Follow my own first principles to do things, and in the end, achieve extraordinary and glorious achievements. I may not be lucky enough. I have been ordinary since I was a child. However, as long as I find my first principles and continue to do it, then I may not be able to Become extraordinary, but I will be infinitely close to the extraordinary, far beyond the original me."
"You are lucky and wise." Crimella's eyes were hot.
"We are all lucky. The only difference between us in the future is to accept this luck or throw it away." Su Yedao.
"Because of your photos, I have a firm grip!" Crimella clenched her small fist hard.
"What a good boy." Su Ye smiled slightly.
Crimella's eyes are drifting away, like a small river, and she whispered softly: "You are only sixteen years old, only four years older than me."
Su Ye froze for a moment, smiled slightly, pointed to the line on the blackboard and said: "First principles are the content of my first lesson, and it is also the first lesson of my dreams when I was a kid, more It was the first lesson of my dream in life. It is a pity that no one told me the first principles in the first lesson of life, but since then, I have no regrets."
Crimella stared at Su Ye.
"This day is the luckiest day of my life. I am sure that not to mention Aristotle, even Master Plato or Master Socrates, cannot give me such an important first lesson in life. From now on From now on, you will be my eternal teacher." Clemella's clear voice was full of firmness.
Su Ye smiled slightly and didn't say anything~IndoMTL.com~ This class of my own, but standing on the shoulders of countless giants, far surpassed this era. Even Aristotle, who established the "first principles", is only looking for the only, eternal, and supreme "first principles" between heaven and earth, and has not really expanded the first principles. The first principles of later generations, Biaristotle's first principles are more luxuriant.
After a while, Climera asked: "Teacher Su Ye, then, is there an ultimate first principle, which is more essential than the essence of magic, the only essence and the only first principle of all worlds? The principle of sex?"
Su Ye thought for a while and said: "First of all, we can believe that there is an ultimate first principle in this world, and we can even continue to pursue it."
Crimella nodded vigorously.
"Secondly, you have to remember the fourth point of learning first principles:'recognize multiple possibilities, maintain multiple perspectives, believe in all changes, and allow opposites to exist'. We allow, believe, or pursue the ultimate first However, we must also believe that this world may not only have'one' ultimate first principles."
Su Ye smiled.
Climella is musing.
