I really don't want to cross

Chapter 74 Change
"In real life, the most fundamental principle is the assumption of rational man, also known as the assumption of economic man, or the principle of maximization. The most basic assumption in economics is generally called selfishness, that is, the goal is to maximize personal interests. "

"Participants in the market economy, when participating in production and exchange activities, consider their own needs rather than the interests of society and others."

"Operators are for profit, producers are for salary, and consumers are for entertainment and learning for their own lives."

"The success of such a market economy has nothing to do with good or evil. It is correct. Modern development has proved all of this. Simple logical reasoning, the market economy can be derived from the assumption of rational people, and the success of the market economy also shows that this assumption is fundamental. is correct."

"The word selfish has many meanings. The neutral meaning mainly includes considering one's own needs and not proceeding from the interests of others; the negative meaning includes doing anything to achieve one's own goals, intentionally hurting others, and violating morality."

"What I'm going to say is what it means to be neutral."

"There is a saying that I think you all understand that the environment changes people."

"In primitive tribes, food was always very scarce. At that time, our ancestors did not rely mainly on planting and raising livestock to live like now. At that time, the source of food mainly relied on hunting and gathering."

"At that time, the number of people in a tribe was quite small, and the average life expectancy of a person was only over 30 years old. An abnormal death of a person was a very big loss to the tribe. Therefore, under such circumstances, only Distributing food equally, so that everyone can maintain basic energy can make this group survive. This is the so-called sharing.”

"However, there will always be people who want to eat more. The feeling of being hungry is unbearable, and you should have a deep understanding of this. Especially for those who have caught prey, although they can share a little more meat, they still can't eat enough. .”

"Why don't you sneak a little bit of it? Can't you get enough to eat? But it doesn't work in a group, why? Because it will annoy those who don't have enough to eat, and they will gang up to punish you; physical punishment is okay. , but if he is exiled, it is basically tantamount to declaring the person's death."

"Over time, the equal distribution of food has become a basic commandment, the supreme law, and no one can violate it. Moreover, I have been accustomed to this behavior since I was a child, and I think it is justified."

"However, such a behavior pattern requires two basic conditions, that is, the group must be small, and individuals are very dependent on others. Small groups have deep feelings, know each other well, and for the survival of the group is also for their own survival. "

"I hope that you can learn the law of this kind of group. Any 'stealing' among you will be punished by others."

"But when you fit into a large group, you have to master selfishness."

"For example, if you are asked to plant the land, the more you put your heart into it, the more you will reap. If you harvest a few thousand catties of grain with your own hard work at this time, some people only receive a few dozen catties of grain by doing nothing all day long. "

"At this time, this large group said that we should gather food together and distribute it equally."

"Would you like it? No doubt, of course I don't agree, but under the pressure of a large group, you have to do it if you don't want to die. What will you choose in the second year? I think you will basically choose to eat, drink, have fun and sleep all day long. No one It’s a fool who basks in the sun and sweats every day to grow food for others to eat. Then what?”

"Hungry to death!"

"Knowing how to share is a good thing, but it can also be divided into foolish sharing and selfish sharing. Generous people work hard to plant for a year, and then feed everyone, but the requirement of fullness is met, but people are greedy, and they will give birth to other people. The idea of ​​being full of warmth is the so-called warm thinking... Well, forget it."

"In short, everyone starts to say 'I don't want this food', 'I want meat', 'I want this', 'I want that'... and then the generosity of the family is exhausted."

"So this method is doomed to be eliminated and replaced by another method. Generous people let everyone work for themselves, and I will share the rewards with you. Everyone is happy to work, and their own big A little bit happy, a little bit sad, but they won't have a problem. Is there something wrong with being selfish?"

"No mistake, nothing at all."

"Sharing, this kind of thing is okay in our small group; but in a large group, I hope you will not be so naive, because other human beings will never talk about sharing with you, they will only feel at ease like 'everyone', Even if you distribute food to them so that they will not starve to death; for example, if you become the initiator to protect them, they will only take it for granted and treat you as a tool, and treat you as something inferior to livestock."

"It may be cruel, but what I say is reality!"

Looking at the confused little faces, Wood shook his head slightly: "Do you think I'm selfish?"

All the little girls in the classroom fell silent, watching Wood on the stage and shaking their little heads.

"Not selfish!"

I have to admit that this firm and neat voice moved Wood, but he still shook his head.

"No, I'm selfish!"

Wood turned around and patted the two big characters on the blackboard: "It can even be described in a negative sense. I am more selfish than anyone else, because it can make my life better."

"And you also have to learn to be selfish, to be selfish to large groups."

"Maybe people all over the world regard you as monsters."

Wood glanced at the children below with a cold expression: "But I want to say, you..."

"It's not a monster!!"

"It's... human beings!"

"From head to toe, from the inside to the outside, you are all human beings. It's just that you and them are two groups. Their group is selfish to the outside world, and you also need to learn to be selfish."

"Selfish people who think they are human."

"Selfish enough to say you're not a monster."

"Selfish...survive."

"Don't care about the opinions of other groups, you just need to live a selfish life, because I alone can't integrate the two groups, so I can only teach you how to be selfish."

"Don't feel that your own existence is harmful to this world; don't think that your birth is a mistake; don't feel inferior because you were abandoned by your parents and rejected by all human beings, and feel that other groups are the ones who speak, let them be slaughtered , making them 'everyone'!"

"--you"

"Just live a selfish life, live in our group!"

The quiet needle drop could be heard in the entire classroom, and the little girls looked at Wood who was shouting loudly on the stage with blurred eyes.

Even if there are many places they don't understand very well.

but never...

No one has ever said they are human; no one has ever said that their birth is correct, even their biological parents; more... no one has kept them alive, and all they have heard is 'Go to hell, monster'' Chigui, why are you still alive?" "It's disgusting"...

And now, even if they still don't understand selfishness so well.

But they all had an idea.

Even if it's us, it's okay to live selfishly, right?

……

Looking at the expressions of the children below, Wood rubbed his dry throat, but a smile appeared on his face.

Asylum is only temporary.

If you want the cursed children to survive, you must let them change themselves, a fundamental change.

Maybe it's all too early for them, but they don't have time to get used to it.

Only by breaking the inherent thinking can they learn to be selfish and know how to resist.

Instead of being slaughtered by others, treat it as a tool that will be discarded when it breaks!
