From Chief to Ball

To put it seriously, the so-called emotions are nothing more than some kind of material manipulation. Chen Jian feels that the discipline opponent surrenders without fighting and retreats. The three pitfalls make the opponent completely powerless to fight back.

Chapter 70 The Old Man's Desire

Science originates from philosophy, and at the same time, it in turn affects people's views and views on the world, especially the materialistic world view, which needs three scientific foundations to gain a foothold.

Evolution, thermodynamic law of conservation of energy, mechanics.

The emergence of mechanics has led to mechanical materialism becoming an important trend of thought, making people try to explain all human activities in a macro sense for the first time, and use mechanics to deconstruct the entire world.

The law of thermodynamics of energy conservation makes motion a kind of mystery that does not appear out of thin air and is manipulated by an invisible god similar to God Dous. ideological basis.

The theory of evolution makes it difficult for a god with personality or similar products to exist. When humans were not created by a god with personality, then the perspective of judging history will not use the moral teaching of fixed personality and humanity to judge merits and demerits, but It can only flow towards the direction of productivity and production relations, which is similar to the way animals and plants live. There are saints, gods, gods and other things that condense personality and humanity, and human behavior must be based on this condensed personality and humanity. evaluate.

Tao has no personality, so it is not benevolent and treats all things as dogs, so it is different.The dispute between the Tao and the saints is probably a dispute between the impersonal pan-natural God and the Trinity God. If God has no personality, then there will not be so many moral taboos of old-fashioned Catholicism.The same is true for a sage, because he is a human being rather than the unkind way of heaven and earth, so to evaluate a person needs to be evaluated from the distance from the sage.How to evaluate a person requires a view of history and a world view, a world view requires philosophy, and philosophy requires the feedback of the law of scientific achievements. This is an unavoidable circle.

Chen Jian is very clear that if he wants to change social relations, he must first change the economic foundation. This has already started in Fujian County and will continue in several counties along the coast.

This kind of change cannot be controlled by him alone, and even if it affects it, it is difficult to make a big change, but the change in the world view can be accelerated by using his reputation and everything he has accumulated before.

This is also one of the important reasons why he puts his energy on this in the capital. What happened in Min County is irreversible. Even if he dies, those new forces in Min County must seek their own development and future. Those thoughts that have already been generated And contradictions will not disappear because of the death of a few people.But in what he is doing now, it can effectively shorten the time for people to change the way they see the world.

The road from calcium carbide cyanide melt to urea and then to sheep with urea as the only nitrogen source takes about three years, which can bridge the gap between life and death and consolidate the world view of the conservation of matter.

The road of chloral hydrate sedative drugs can disrupt people's thinking about the spirit, soul, emotion and even human personality, and overcorrect and prematurely make people fall into the confusion that a material determines everything.

The way of acetylene bromination and condensation of acetaldehyde can break the debate between organic and inorganic, and make people realize that the division of organic and inorganic is meaningless.Like acids and bases, these seemingly complex compounds also have something or a functional group that is similar to an anhydride and an acid. It is those things that determine their properties rather than the unnecessary division of organic and inorganic, or this This division method cannot guide the research at this stage, thus reducing the opponent's point of view to a sophistry division method that classifies both humans and ducks as two-legged animals.

It is not impossible, not wrong, or there is no absolute right or wrong to divide according to two legs or four legs, but it is meaningless.

Not making sense doesn't mean wrong, but not making sense equals not making sense, and that's important.

Once this gap is crossed, not only the progress of a single discipline, but also the use of public opinion to create a huge social impact - there is nothing insurmountable in the world, any theory of bloodliness, solidification, self-cultivation, and family background All will lose the foundation of existence, and people will expect a society with a fair starting line, where everyone has the opportunity to jump from inorganic to organic, instead of being declared that this is an insurmountable gap.Most people also look forward to being fair at the beginning, longing for progressive taxation, inheritance tax, equal rights, equality, and freedom, which sound fairer when people start with each other, turning organic offspring into inorganic particles, Let's start together.

Taking advantage of the opportunity of worshiping Scientology at this time or saying that the light of fireflies crossed the darkness and thought it was the scorching sun, we used the theory of evolution to pave the way for the socialism and the same species of human beings, as well as the socialist thought of a community with a shared future for the human race; The fairness of the starting point opposes the idea of ​​laissez-faire; it uses the mechanics of physics and the law of energy conservation to pave the way for the philosophical foundation of materialism.

It seems that I have taken an evil path, but the level of productivity at this time should be a shortcut to enlightenment.

It is also a way out of the Age of Enlightenment, which is completely different from Europe's Christian theology and retro natural law.

There is a European way of enlightenment in Europe, there is a way of enlightenment here, and the land of China on the other side of the ocean should also have a spontaneous way of enlightenment in line with its own tradition.

Different ways.

same return.

There are three thousand roads, and they all end up in one.

Chen Jian is not sure whether the path he is taking will be too crooked to the sky, because there is no history to learn from, so everything can only go on and let time judge whether it is right or wrong.

Just like Mr. Mu who led him into the academy circle many years ago said when he didn't give him a letter, just like Hu Lin who had bid farewell to politics in Min County said him.Chen Jian guessed the possible consequences and did it instead of not knowing the consequences. Perhaps this is why they were worried.

It's just that Mr. Mu, who was already in his dying years, didn't think so much. At the beginning of the debate between Chen Jian and the other party, he immediately stood up to help Chen Jian.

But now, without Mr. Mu's knowledge, Chen Jian once again found this old man who was dedicated to pretending to be the world and who had supported Chen Jian.

A few years have passed, the old man who had been coughing all the time is now even older, and new things are constantly appearing to make this old man who has been affected by various poisons support his body strongly, and he only hopes to live for a few more years to see More novelties.

Chen Jian was not the closest person to serve, but Mr. Mu regarded Chen Jian as his most proud disciple. When Chen Jian stepped into the teacher's door again, the old man shunned the people around him.

His cloudy eyes glanced at Chen Jian, and his hoarse vocal cords let out a chuckle.

"How sure are you?"

"Seventy percent."

The old man smiled and said: "If you say [-]%, you are confident, just like when you told me to electrolyze sodium. What do you want me, an old man, to do this time? Use it quickly, I can't last for a few years." Well, then you won’t have a chance to use it.”

Chen Jian bowed his head and didn't know what to say. The old man pointed to the chair beside him and asked Chen Jian to sit down. After coughing for a while, he said, "Actually, I'm very glad that you accepted the other party's challenge, and I'm also very glad that you came to find me. I help. Because you finally put your mind on this subject instead of society, don't waste money."

The old man took a sip of tea and said, "Research more problems and talk less about doctrines. Even if, as you said, one is production and the other is distribution, why don't you put more thought on production? You Let me know that nitrogen, phosphorus and potassium can make one mu of land produce [-] catties of wheat! Eight hundred catties! The same one mu of land can feed four or five times more people. But what about you? You let me see hope, Seeing the hope that there will be no more famine in the world, then turn around and devote yourself to the times. Wouldn't it be good to be quiet, hide in the academy, let it be seasons, and concentrate on learning?"

"At that time, even if there is a problem with the distribution, the leftovers will be enough to feed some people. One of your brothers died in the process of making phosphate fertilizer from apatite. You discovered this phosphorus, but you regarded it as It's a kind of step into the world, as a ladder to enter this circle, your mind is not here at all."

Chen Jian didn't answer, nor did he explain any words to the old man. He just listened silently, and said after a long time: "Mr. clearly knows, but he still regards me as a disciple."

"You, you just use your own way to treat me as a gentleman, but I am very useful. I lack food and clothing, and I don't seek fame. I just want to understand the world, and I just want the world to be free from famine wars, and you You are also doing what I like, of course I like you as a disciple."

The old man glanced at Chen Jian with a smile, and knew in his heart that this was the last time he talked about the previous topics with Chen Jian. After a lifetime, he changed the subject and asked, "Okay, let's not talk about this. You this time You are here to take away some of your younger brothers and younger sisters, right?"

"Yes. When I was apprenticed to a teacher for the first time, I used a lot of money, knowledge, the reputation of discovering new metals, as well as various material conditions and magical workshops in Fujian City, to start luring my brothers and sisters. It is also for a few years later Today, more juniors and younger sisters will follow me to Min County."

"Everyone has what they want and what they need, there's nothing wrong with it. You want them to help you finish this war debate?"

"Yes."

"That's a good thing. People now say that when it comes to understanding the world, the Republic has the capital in the north and Min County in the south. The seminars held by your soda association will cause a sensation every time. Many people go there admiringly. As a matter of fact, the place called "Nanxuegong" in Min County can go farther and faster than here. But you still don't think it's enough, you have to draw all the essence of the capital Xuegong. You know, Everyone in the academy now says that awarding you the honor of Mr. Xuegong was the most unwise choice, and that you are the biggest traitor in the academy."

Chen Jian nodded and smiled, understanding what the old man meant.

However, the old man smiled again and said: "But to me, if you, a disciple, have not betrayed you to understand the world, explain the world and change the world, then you deserve the title of Mr. Xuegong. Xuegong is not a place in a hundred acres Land, not even the robes, but the twelve characters on the Shrine of the Sages at the moment of founding the nation. Knowing the world, explaining the world, changing the world, what is the difference between being in Min County and being in the capital?"

Chen Jian stood up and bowed again. The old man waved his hand and said, "You don't know when you will come back after you leave. I don't know whether your victory in this debate will be before or after my funeral. When you die, you will know nothing. At that time, I said that I hope you will burn some books on my grave after I die, but after all, I still hope to know many things before I die."

The old man's turbid eyes suddenly lit up, staring at Chen Jian said: "I know there is no result yet, but I believe you must know the result. I don't know how you know, but I want to know. I want to know the world, I want to know the result. Know the particles of matter, want to know the smallest particle and the largest universe, want to know what the future will look like! Tell me! Tell me what you imagined, what you deduced, what you guessed, or how you know it. "

Chen Jian glanced at this old man who was in his dying years but was full of vitality because of his desire to understand the world. This old man who helped him take the first step, this old man who was concerned about famine and war in the world, thinking about everything he knew, But finally bowed his head.

"Sir, there is no one who is born knowing. I believe in experience, not innate reason. Therefore, at this time, I don't know. I can only make bold assumptions and carefully verify and summarize after trying again and again. You want to know Yes, that's exactly what I want to know."

Mr. Mu looked at Chen Jian, looked at Chen Jian's drooping head, looked at Chen Jian's eyes that he dared not look directly at, the original bright eyes gradually became a little lost.

After a long time, he sighed softly.

"That's right. That's good too."

Chapter 71 Dao, Art, Disciple and Secondary Disciple

After a long silence, Mr. Mu suddenly asked: "Seven or eight years ago, you asked your brothers and sisters to go to Min County with you, saying that you were going to write a book "One Hundred Thousand Whys" and a new book " "New Textbook of Combination and Decomposition", how is the compilation going? Can you show me this?"

Chen Jian hurriedly said: "Sir, you are joking. Not only do you want to read it, but you also need to ask him to make a preface. The new "Chemical Combination and Decomposition Textbook" was originally the purpose I said to take my brothers and sisters to Fujian County. Going to sea, but I have never dared to forget such a thing. Speaking of it, I am not as good as them in writing articles, and writing textbooks is not something that one person can do, but after so many years, I have almost written it."

He took out the textbook that had already been compiled, and handed it over respectfully. Mr. Mu flipped through it for a while, and said with a smile: "You wrote the first thirty pages, and your brothers and sisters wrote the rest. Right? You took your bold hypothesis as the basis of this textbook, making chemistry a foundational subject rather than an observational, unfounded subject."

Chen Jian also smiled and said: "Yes. Without a foundation, this science is always natural history. With a foundation, this subject is not an observational and descriptive natural history. The foundation may not be correct, but it can be justified and can be It can be corrected, it can be overthrown by experiments, but in the end there must be a foundation. It’s just that the latter is indeed written by the brothers and sisters, but the front also has their approval and efforts, not all of them are my own words.”

Mr. Mu coughed for a long time with a laugh, and said: "This is nature. They are influenced by you on the basis of the world, and as you said, what they learned before can only be regarded as natural history, although they have some knowledge in compound decomposition. , but on the basis of it is a blank sheet of paper, why don’t you paint as you like? Isn’t your little girl also trying to find out the hidden secrets between animals and plants? Isn’t she also trying to transform creatures from natural Are you trying to classify in terms of species? This is the foundation, and the person who defines the foundation is the place where the world based on this foundation will never go around in the future.”

Chen Jian bowed and said: "Sir, I think so. The foundations I conceived may not be correct, but they are still better than foundations that have no foundation or have been proven to be wrong. So I am in the top three On the tenth page, he boldly adopted his hypothetical world foundation and used it to influence many young people in Min County, which is probably why the schools in Min County are not recognized by the capital."
