The World of Deities Chapter 551: Surface target, deep target
"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. Greek magic is the world’s best, philosophy, geometry, theoretical knowledge and technology The development of China has far surpassed that of any country. This is not a boast, 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, and geometry. , Knowledge and technology, Persia is also making great efforts in this area. However, Persian resources are used in the two most places, one is war, and the other is luxury goods. Magic and knowledge are the turn of the game. 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 certain limit, the more investment in war , The final income is gradually diminishing. The simplest example, when we only have 100 golden eagles all over our body, it took a month to earn a new 100 golden eagles. We will be very happy. This is a typical low consumption and high development. . But when we had 100 million golden eagles, we spent a month earning 100 golden eagles, and we would swear, 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 luxurious 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. , We are researching new paper, we are developing nautical technology, we are exploring the sky, starry sky, ocean, philosophy, magic, technology, these fields will inevitably be explosive growth after a long time of accumulation."
"Moreover, with the presence of gods, our Greek city-states have not had large-scale internal fighting 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. So now I ask you, in the long run, will the future belong to Persia or Greece?"
"Greece!"
Warm applause sounded in the chamber.
Crimella whispered: "Teacher Su Ye is too good."
Palos nodded her head lightly, and continued, stopped suddenly, raised her head, and glanced at Su Ye secretly.
Su Ye smiled and said: "I can only say that from this perspective, using this method, the future belongs to Greece, but from another perspective, the result is not necessarily. Even in Greece, it is in a'low consumption and high development' Stage, the future 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. Countries with low development, then, the future belongs to a new country."
"Okay, very good. You showed us the bravery of young people and the wisdom of magicians. Then, we continue to discuss the most intense question just now, how should we treat Persia? Is it a full confrontation or a reduced confrontation? Give up some of the benefits and make a concession?" 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 tribes.
While those who support concession, they almost scold that the person who is in full confrontation is a fool or a foolish barbarian.
If it hadn't been for Larence to stop, the two sides would definitely curse.
"Let's go ahead, don't answer, you have failed ten subjects this year." Larence grinned.
The teachers also laughed.
Su Ye looked at Nideen angrily, all he learned from you.
Needern has a calm face, it's my ass?
"I have seen your point of view, let's say it." Niedern decisively sold his teammates.
"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 parties who had the most quarrel just now. Teacher Gregory, you are the main combatant. Then, you are fighting Persia in an all-round way. What?"
"Of course it is to defeat Persia. Persia is immortal, and 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 from Persia?"
"I said before, in order to accumulate strength, look for opportunities, and finally defeat Persia. You can't lose everything because of a momentary impulse." Cadriius said.
Su Ye nodded and said: "Then I'll just say it. I think that the opponents are all right, but they also overlooked a very important issue."
"The two sides are concerned about what the other side is doing. One side thinks that the other side is giving in, and naturally infers that the other side has no spine and is suspected of surrendering, and then pushes backwards, thinking that the other side is on the Persian side and will eventually be harmed. Greece, thinks the other party is the enemy."
"The other side believes that it is blind and foolish to support full-scale confrontation, because war cannot solve the real problem. Instead, it will make the problem bigger and bigger. Naturally, it will be reversed. The other side’s behavior may drag Greece into endless The abyss eventually harmed Greece and considered it an 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 the outer Persia."
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 both parties are sitting here and discussing this. What's the matter? To protect Greece! To make Greece better! Then this thing is weird, you both think that the other is harming Greece, but I think that both of you are protecting Greece? Think about it, you guys, the other is here , Is it harming Greece or helping Greece?"
The chamber is silent.
"It's true that both sides are helping Greece, and I almost got stuck just now." Larence sighed.
Some people nodded slightly.
Su Yedao: "That is to say, when judging each other, the two sides used the wrong order of inference, first look at the surface, and then reversely infer a wrong cause from the outside, and finally nail 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, which leads to the opposite end result."
"This is very good. I want to take it down seriously. This is what you said... Ortho logical, right?" Euclid took it seriously.
The golden mages were stunned for a moment, glanced at the masters of the sanctuary who were recording, and took out the magic book records.
Among the silver magicians, most of them took notes seriously, but there were still a few who froze there, looking confused.
After a while, Larence looked at everyone who had finished recording, and asked: "So, do you think we should confront each other in an all-round way, or give in while confronting?"
"The level at which the problem occurs can never be solved. We must penetrate this level, and from a deeper level, we can discover the way to solve the problem. For the simplest example, we feel itchy in our body. Okay. But, if we itch a lot and spend a lot of time every day scratching it, what will happen? It must be red and cracked all over the skin from scratching, but it still can’t solve the itch. If we only blame the body itch , Or just blame ourselves for scratching, 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 Later, we recovered from the illness, and no longer itch, so we won’t be scratching."
"Itching is the level where the problem occurs. Scratching is the solution to the level where the problem occurs. But this method can't actually solve the problem. But we found that the deeper level is'a certain disease', and then use the method of curing the disease. If you can solve the itch, you can solve the problem."
"Using this principle, let’s look back. The teachers of the two sides have all the logic of'Persian attacking us, how do we counter Persia', that is to say, the tickling is coming, we tickled. Remember I was here Did you ask Gregory and Cadriius questions at the beginning? I added'Persian' to the question."
"I asked Teacher Gregory why we are going to attack Persia in an all-round way, and his answer is, of course, to destroy Persia."
"I asked Teacher Cadriius what is the purpose of seeking peace with Persia, and his answer is to accumulate strength, find time, and defeat Persia."
"It all seemed okay, but when I gave up Persia and we thought about'we are sitting here and discussing why this matter'~ IndoMTL.com~ I said that everyone is to protect Greece, and everyone thinks Of course. So why is this?"
"Because we are easily attracted to the surface goals, and forget to explore the deep goals, we will never be able to solve the problem..."
"Then, let me ask one last time, what we really want to do in this meeting is to protect Greece or defeat Persia? Choose the one who protects Greece to raise the left hand, and the one who defeats Persia to raise the right hand."
Larens raised his left hand first.
After that, most people raised their left hands, and only a small number of people resolutely raised their right hands.
"Very well, everyone who raised their right hand, I can tell the truth, you are tickling and don’t want to treat the disease. In other words, you think that itching is the cause, and you think that itching is the goal, but it’s not. Illness is the goal. Just like Persian aggression is just the appearance, but you are 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. . The two seem to be the same, but they are like a world of difference."
Some people look unhappy.
