I Really Didn’t Want to Be the Savior Chapter 397: Hypocritical civilization

Chen Feng thought about it for about five seconds.

But in the end, he did not stand up to explicitly support Ellen's point of view, and only said very vaguely: "Dr. Ellen's analysis is reasonable and in line with my personal guess, but there is no conclusive evidence at present. Dr. Lun said that I saw some mysteries that no one could see, and that didn't exist."

"I just came to these conclusions by synthesizing the results of my predecessors and adding some bold speculations of my own. But since I made the title of the book "Mad Men's Conjecture". It means that all the theoretical knowledge is mine A very arrogant and bold speculation that still requires the joint efforts of all of you to prove it one by one in the next few years, or to falsify it.”

His words are very conservative and do not stamp Ellen's point of view.

Of course, this shows his crazy side again.

He thus admitted that the relevant knowledge in the fields of physics and biology in the "Mad Men's Conjectures" are conjectures that have not been rigorously demonstrated.

Skip the rigorous science experiments and go straight to the answer.

He looks puffed up.

If someone else made such a rhetorical statement, they would definitely be sprayed to death by saliva.

However, the mathematical problems he solved in the "Conjecture Collection" have been checked and verified one after another.

One after another of Chen's theorem checks are being serialized in several top mathematics academic journals at the rate of one episode a week.

A man who can achieve such success in mathematics at the age of twenty-five, even if he seems to be gibberish in other fields, people will inevitably think for a while before questioning.

Ilun was obviously a little disappointed with Chen Feng's attitude, but he didn't say much. After almost finishing the question, he walked down and sat back next to Chen Feng.

"Mr. Chen, you are..."

After holding it for about two minutes, Ellen asked.

Chen Feng smiled and shook his head slightly, "The time is not ripe. You think about problems more from an academic perspective, but I can't just think about these. In the current era, social productivity is still insufficient, and there are still many contradictions that need to be resolved. Between countries, between classes, between skin color and skin color, and even between two adjacent regions of the same country, there will be conflicts that are higher than competition. Before these problems are solved, whether it is ordinary people or leaders I can't bear this."

Iron nodded.

He understands.

He thought before that Chen Feng could become an excellent politician in addition to his status as a musician and a scientist.

It seems so now.

He can always stand on a higher angle and see everything from a more comprehensive perspective.

"I didn't think about it. I thought it was a good opportunity, so I made a rash decision. Sorry."

Chen Feng shook his head, "It's okay, this shows that you are a professional academic worker."

“It is a great fortune for mankind to have such a perfect leader in all aspects as you.”

"It's been awarded, it's been awarded."

The half-academic, half-casual speech on stage continued as the two exchanged whispers.

There are not many participants, but they are all elite scholars from all over the world, and those who can speak on the stage have something to do.

About an hour later, Chen Feng heard another interesting argument from a social science and economics leader.

He did not jump out of his professional field to prove the existence of aliens, but completed a large-scale social experiment in five years.

Today is the day of his final report.

This meeting was also called by him.

His social experiment was twofold.

First, as many as 500,000 volunteers were invited to participate in the experience in a remote town.

The content of the experience is a regularly unfolding themed life simulation titled "If the end of the world will arrive in ten/hundred/millennium".

The volunteers who participated in the experiment ranged from billionaires to homeless people, perfectly simulating a small social group.

In five years, the boss has held a total of twenty-one social experiments in the town, focusing on the suspense of these three time periods.

Secondly, there are as many as millions of large-scale questionnaires, and the survey content is consistent with the theme of life simulation.

These two aspects complement each other, one is theoretical calculation and the other is practical exercise.

The experimental results are interesting, showing extremely multi-dimensional feedback.

People's feedback varied greatly depending on the age of the apocalypse and the volunteers themselves.

Assuming that the doomsday will come in ten years, the vast majority of ordinary people who accept the theme simulation life and questionnaire surveys say that it will be ten years later. Solve the credit card bill in front of you, and then when you have some money left, you should quickly stock up on more bullets, and then find a safe place in the countryside to stay.

If you're a bachelor, you might end up with the idea of ​​going crazy when something really happens.

If you are middle class, you will try to maintain your business and career, still hoarding guns and ammunition, and will try to build your own team.

If it is a big businessman in the upper class, then on the basis of the preparations made by the middle class, he will try more integration, and quickly fund Musk to complete the research and exploration of space travel as soon as possible.

If you have a chance, you must get a ticket.

When the question was over a hundred years old, people's feedback changed.

The non-bourgeois tend to think about nothing directly, it's all after their own death, how can they care so much and what to do.

The middle class will probably add another one, that is, not to leave future generations, so that future generations will not suffer. As for myself, try to just spend the money when you die.

The big bourgeoisie still sponsors space projects and remains enthusiastic about the future.

Replacing the question with a thousand years later.

The vast majority of the responses were straightforward.

A thousand years? what is that? What does it have to do with me? None of my ashes will be seen that day.

Just dealing with the bills, work, and business in front of me is enough to make me devastated. Will I care about a thousand years from now?

Crazy?

Chen Feng was not surprised by this result.

This is the way a normal person thinks.

When he himself traveled to the millennium two times before, his thoughts were similar to this.

Just living in reality is tiring enough, there is no time to manage the flood after death.

But the scholar on stage cited some interesting phenomena.

All classes have similar views on the end of the decade, but there are some who show marked differences between the century and the millennium.

This part of the people said that they have to work harder, find ways to create more value, and try to do their best.

There are not many people who say this, but there are still many differences that can be made.

For example, some big businessmen and politicians, these people can speak beautifully, but they are beautiful enough to reveal a strong hypocrisy, and their essential intention is to obtain immediate benefits such as money and fame through self-package.

Some people's answers were more constructive. They immediately started to use their brains and kept asking what form this "doomsday" would come in, how to avoid it, and how to fight against it.

Most of these people are scholars, and they have to be very successful scholars.

The big guy who took the stage finally concluded: "It took me five years to complete this social experiment, and the result is not optimistic. I think that when the crisis is far away, only food and clothing can be comforted and a considerable degree of knowledge is obtained. Only a person with a very high level of personal moral character can consider a relatively illusory sense of responsibility.”

"But when a crisis is imminent, almost everyone will quickly fall into apocalyptic fear, we will see the collapse of social order, the streets will be filled with gunfire and flames, robbery will become a job, and life of the same kind will be No respect. Probably our population will have to drop by at least half before the real end."

The scholar takes a pessimistic view.

Chen Feng, who had seen the doomsday scene many times, did not refute him.

First of all, the apocalypse assumed by the scholar does not actually exist.

According to his description, this is first and foremost an irresistible apocalypse.

However, what Chen Feng saw in the future proves that when technology is sufficiently developed, everyone can live without food, can receive higher education, and people can obtain sufficient material conditions without plundering each other, as long as There is enough time to complete the psychological construction, even if faced with an irresistible and time-predicted apocalypse, human beings will still bite the bullet and want to try, commonly known as the Yellow River.

Also, the Oxford economist made another mistake.

His experimental sites and questionnaire survey sites are limited to Europe and North America, and the vast majority of people surveyed are native English speakers.

The scholar ignores the Chinese-speaking population, which accounts for one-fifth of the world's population.

So his seemingly instructive large-scale social experiment is actually biased.

Chen Feng intuitively thinks that if you ask the same question to a native Chinese speaker, you may get a completely different answer.

The development of a person's three views is highly related to the environment and education he has been exposed to since childhood, and also has a great relationship with the type of mother tongue.

Human thinking needs to be based on the medium of language.

The truth and philosophy in people's hearts are not empty concepts, but should also be self-summarizing theories based on different language structures.

These theories form a person's code of conduct and will determine the direction in which he thinks and makes decisions in the face of each choice.

It's easy for people with different native languages ​​to respond differently to the same problem.

Chinese and other language families are quite different in many aspects, such as pronunciation, text pattern, sentence expression, logical structure, emotional expression and so on.

Chinese is a fast language that tends to be more precise and specific.

English is a slow language that tends to be metaphorical and abstract.

Chinese speakers tend to focus purely on the present, which seems practical.

Native English speakers tend to focus on the future, and native English speakers with sufficient knowledge and high sentiment tend to focus on the future. Therefore, when scholars in Europe and the United States faced the "doomsday problem", their performance did not disappoint.

But unfortunately, the largest number of people in the world are still ordinary people with relatively narrow knowledge.

So the average native English speaker is easily immersed in the fear after the abstract reinforcement, and has no time to think about any sense of responsibility.

According to Chen Feng's calculations, ordinary Chinese native speakers will be quite different from ordinary English native speakers.

It is not that the proportion of native Chinese speakers can be reversed, but the proportion of focusing on the future and focusing on the present will be much higher.

Because I think Chinese quickly enough.

When a person's overall knowledge level is narrow and his understanding of the nature of the world is not so profound and extensive, the fast structure of Chinese can make it easier for people to think about the future.

The slow structure of English makes people's thinking have to stay more on collecting the information that they need to collect at present, and slow decision-making on the problems that need to be solved at present, that is, the repayment of credit cards and so on.

But on another level, Chen Feng, through his observation of the future, believes that both Chinese and English native speakers of top scholars can actually focus on the future based on the present.

When two native speakers reached their peaks in their respective academic fields, they were indistinguishable.

This group of people has enough knowledge and a big enough world view to jump out of their own limitations.

At this time, the influence of mother tongue structure on people's feelings will be reduced to the lowest level.

In fact, there is a new logical paradox hidden here.

Are people with more knowledge more moral?

This is not the case.

Knowledge does not cultivate morality.

Morality stems from the education that people receive from childhood to adulthood and self-learning in adulthood.

Abundance of knowledge does not necessarily mean morality.

It just means that people with high morals will add some extra sense of responsibility as a driving force when they learn knowledge. These people will have a higher concentration on learning knowledge and a higher degree of desire for new knowledge.

Therefore, the proportion of top scholars with high moral standards is relatively high.

But it doesn't mean that there are no scumbags among scholars, there are still some cases.

Although Chen Feng thought so, he was a little unconvinced, but he did not stand up to refute the other party on the spot.

At the end of the meeting, he also took the initiative to talk to the Oxford professor.

He expressed his doubts in private, and invited the other party to come back to China with him. This kind of social experiment was also conducted in the native Chinese language department.

Professor Oxford had given up on the idea, but he could not refute Chen Feng's doubts, saying only that the funding was limited.

"Don't worry about funding, I'll do it. We skip the social experiment of the small town model and focus on questionnaire surveys, and strive to come up with a conclusion within a week."

Professor Oxford squinted, "Mr. Chen, are you sure you don't want to beautify your motherland?"

Chen Feng shook his head, "That's why I invited you to come, not me. You will be solely responsible for the final statistical results. I will only watch and never interfere. This will be more convincing."

"Good."

Chen Feng rolled his eyes and decided to take care of his alma mater.

"Do you want to cooperate with Jiangnan University in Hanju?"

"No problem~IndoMTL.com~ My team hasn't disbanded yet, when will it start?"

Chen Feng blinked, "Now."

Some things that ordinary people seem to be very big, at the level of Chen Feng's current level, it is actually a matter of three or two sentences.

……

Nine days later.

The number of questionnaires in China is as high as one million, which is already very useful for reference.

Seeing the results in front of him, the Oxford professor was dumbfounded.

Chen Feng was full of consolation and emotion.

There is no difference without comparison.

Although the vast majority of native Chinese speakers do not show a particularly obvious tendency in the face of the crisis after a century or a thousand years, they generally agree with the view of hard work, strengthening learning, and trying to achieve more self-worth.

Less than 30 percent of people showed obvious irrelevance hanging up.

As for the crisis ten years later, the performance of the Chinese department did not disappoint. Few Chinese people showed obvious violent tendencies in the face of this irresistible doomsday.

In fact, there are, but this violent tendency is more inclined to the "enemy" of the unknown situation behind the apocalypse.

If it's really impossible to resist, most people tend to spend their last moments with their families.

Professor Oxford was dissatisfied with the results of the survey and angrily accused, "The Chinese are too hypocritical!"

Chen Feng does not deny, "This may also be hypocrisy. But if 70% of the people in a huge civilization are willing to be 'hypocritical' and spend their whole life in 'hypocrisy', it has become a A certain degree of sincerity. Isn’t it? Businessmen are hypocritical in order to gain more immediate benefits, but in China, the proportion of the 'hypocrisy' population is so large, can we be hypocritical to gain more benefits? Even if that is the case, Will you let go of your prejudice again because of our 'hypocrisy'?"
