People in Tokyo, almighty useless people

Shi Liangping didn't speak out his thoughts this time, but quoted a hypothetical scene and asked them to answer their own questions.

This is also a philosopher's favorite method in the face of difficulties.

"Suppose you are the generals of an army now, and you are leading the army to support an important war, but this area is very dangerous and you are not familiar with it,

In order to find the correct route, you asked a woodcutter on the side of the road and asked him to draw a map for you,

What will you choose to do after the woodcutter finishes drawing the map for you?

There are three premises, one, this war is very important, two, the woodcutter may leak the news, and three, if the army is discovered because of the leak, your army is likely to perish. "

Shi Liangping spit out every word in this hypothetical scene word by word, with a calm tone,

But the sharp eyes were sharp, and he was waiting for everyone to answer his answer.

Several people thought about it, their expressions were very serious.

There is only one thing to choose in this hypothetical scenario, that is, after you obtain the information you need from the woodcutter,

As a general, what should I do?

"Kill him." Xidu was the first to reply, "It is only right to sacrifice a commoner for the sake of the country. Anyway, I am a general, and I will build a very gorgeous tombstone for him in the future.

Thousands of people will pay homage to this tomb in the future. I am afraid that the woodcutter will feel very proud of such a reputation even after he dies! "

Xidu seemed to have put himself in the position of a general, with a proud look of "I am the only one".

The nose also made a "humming" sound like Peggy's.

The corner of Shi Liangping's mouth twitched,

He remembered a very ironic saying, "When talking about the glory of the British Empire, even a hungry beggar on the streets of London will puff out his chest and feel proud."

Yanzi leaned her head against the glass window and shook her head, her eyes showed sadness,

This question reminded her of some bad past, which made her very depressed.

She didn't want to answer the tough question.

Seeing this, Shi Liangping signaled with his eyes that she doesn't have to force her, and if she doesn't want to answer, she doesn't have to answer.

He didn't mean to force it.

Yihe Jianzi followed Xidu and spoke decisively:

"It's too cruel to kill. I will break the woodcutter's legs and let the accompanying soldiers take the woodcutter away.

Anyway, he won't be able to escape in this way, so he probably won't cause too much trouble. Of course, if he dares to think about running away again, I will still kill him. "

Yihe Jianzi showed a calm smile,

After all, in her opinion, her solution should be the most benevolent of all the solutions!

What a benevolent method this is, that is, it does not violate its own duties, and it does not act against humanity.

It is indeed the luck of the world to have such a general as her.

Maruhashi is the one who thinks the longest among all of them,

She starts from various perspectives such as interests, morality, ethics, and history, and comprehensively thinks about issues.

This question made her struggle for a long time, and she even stared at the thin glass on the table without moving for a while,

The complicated light in the eyes mixed together, and gradually became clear again.

Finally, Maruhashi came to a conclusion after thinking about it, and sighed faintly:

"I am a general, and I need to be responsible for an army of ten thousand people. This is my mission as a general. I am a human being, and I need to be responsible for my own conscience. This is my conscience as a human being.

But as a general, I bear not only my own life, but also the lives of tens of thousands of soldiers.

So at this moment, my mission should be higher than my conscience, and I will kill the woodcutter with guilt. "

The four girls, Xijue and Maruhashi decide to kill the woodcutter, Yanzi doesn't answer, Yihe decides to break the woodcutter's legs and take him.

After hearing the answers from several people, Shi Liangping closed his eyes and began to analyze them carefully.

Everyone knew that the reaction was probably the same as what he had planned in advance, but Yanzi's failure to answer was a little unexpected to him.

But he did not speak to force Yanzi,

This is nothing more than exchanging thoughts and expressing her own views. If she feels uncomfortable, she can choose to remain silent.

After answering this question, Maruhashi's cheeks were a little sweaty, obviously he had fallen into a very difficult situation during the self-struggle just now,

Her face even paled a lot because of this, as if she was condemned by her inner conscience.

"This hypothetical scene is really good," Maruhashi put his hands on his chest, trying his best to calm his mood,

"But what do you want to illustrate through this hypothetical scenario?"

Maruhashi Yoko looked at Shi Liangping slightly angrily, as if complaining that he had such a nasty problem.

This damn problem is almost as disgusting as the trolley problem, no matter which choice you choose, you will feel that you are doing the wrong thing.

Shi Liangping looked at Maruhashi's sweaty and somewhat annoyed figure, and thought she was a bit cute at the moment.

It made his heart flutter a little.

"No, Maruhashi treats me as a friend, so I can't have bad thoughts."

But the next moment Shi Liangping said to himself in his heart,

Sure enough, as soon as these words came out, his heart instantly became frank, revealing a gentleman's smile.

His gaze towards Maruhashi also became very clear.

This is the state that should exist between friends, and Shi Liangping deeply agrees with this.

Chapter 29, One Man's Mortality and Ten Thousand's Possible Death

If you want to express an idea, expressing it directly is the stupidest way,

Many people quarrel with others on the Internet, and they are always unable to return to theoretical discussions, because it is difficult to convince the other party by direct expression.

Direct expression has no boundary of discussion, and no limitation of manner,

That is to say, the means of attacking, cursing, insulting, provoking, and labeling in life can be used, and they are quite easy to use.

Many people's thinking is: instead of discussing it, it is better to abuse others.

The way to really convince a person is to tell a story.

When I was young, many people would quote or write a story in textbooks to persuade the stubborn emperor and queen mother when they saw some famous officials admonishing them.

And that's the beauty of the movie.

It can tell people some truths with a story, and these truths are realized by people themselves.

You may reject, you may agree,

But this approach is gentle and friendly, and many people can readily accept it.

And the story itself is the boundary and limitation of the story itself, which limits people's discussions within a certain range.

Shi Liangping didn't hide any more, and happily told them what the story was called.

This is an allusion story about the "Soldier Immortal" Han Xin.

This is an allusion that appeared in later generations, its authenticity is unknown, and there are several versions of it.

There is a version that happened during the escape to Liu Bang, and there is also a version that encountered a woodcutter when he went to attack Xiang Yu.

He wants to associate "asking the road and chopping woodcutters" with "cooking a rabbit to death". This is the story he will tell today.

The essence of today's problem is not Han Xin and the woodcutter, nor is it the trolley problem.

The essence of the problem is actually "one person must die" or "ten thousand people may die", which is more important?

In the process of asking the way and killing woodcutters, Han Xin faced the options of "the woodcutter must die" and "the army may die with tens of thousands of people".

He chose "The Woodcutter Must Die."

The woodcutter was innocent, he had done nothing wrong, but he was still sacrificed.

In the allusion of "asking the road and cutting the firewood", Han Xin is the one who chooses,

In the allusion of "The Rabbit Dead Dog Cooks", Han Xin became the one chosen by others on the chopping block.

For the dynasty that rebuilt its homeland after the war, the threat posed by an invincible general like Han Xin far outweighed the benefits he could bring.

In the war, Han Xin "wars must be won, and attacks must be taken." He successively destroyed the three Qin, Wei, Zhao, Yan, Qi, and Chu.

His prestige is even greater than that of Liu Bang, his army is the best in the world, and his virtues are well known all over the world.

The greater such a man is in war, the more terrible he appears in peace.

Is Liu Bang really sure that he will face such an existence that is more prestigious and capable of fighting than himself in front of the princes?

If Han Xin, the soldier immortal, rebelled,

Will the Han Dynasty, which has just been established from the ashes of war, be plunged into never-ending war again?

Han Xin acted as the person who chose in "Ask the Way and Kill the Woodcutter".

And Liu Bang also acted as the person who chose this in "Rabbit Dead Dog Cooking".

Between "Han Xin must die" and "people in the world may die", how would Liu Bang, as a monarch, choose?

From Yoko Maruhashi's point of view,

Liu Bang is a monarch, and he needs to be responsible to thousands of people. This is his mission as a monarch. Liu Bang is a human being, and he needs to be responsible for his own conscience. This is his conscience as a human being.

But as a monarch, he bears not only his own life, but also the lives of thousands of people.

So at this moment, his mission should be higher than his conscience, and he would kill Han Xin with guilt.

From Iwamiko's point of view,

Liu Bang can satisfy his conscience as long as he takes away all Han Xin's military power and tied him up in a humiliating manner.

Then he is the most benevolent monarch in the world.

But the fact is, the reason why Han Xin rebelled was that Liu Bang took away his military power for no reason and tied him to the car to humiliate him.

Han Xin hated Liu Bang thoroughly because of this incident for the rest of his life.

For a man who is as proud as a god, insult and betrayal are the most unbearable things for him, especially if such insult and betrayal are based on his absolute loyalty.

From Kyoko Nishitoku's point of view,

This behavior is like a dead dog cooking. Han Xin's ending is that his family will be wiped out in his early 30s.

The life of the soldier fairy Han Xin has since come to an end, and Han Xin has also become a famous general forever, and his name will last forever.

Shi Liangping came slowly.

Maruhashi, Nishito, and Yihe all showed blank expressions, and their cheeks were soaked with sweat.

Once everyone is immersed in thinking, they can't help substituting themselves into it,

When they stood from the general's point of view before, they could always take this cruel choice for granted,

But when they themselves, as generals, were treated in the same way by others, a strong sense of injustice appeared in their hearts.

Why should he take away all his rights when he did nothing wrong?

Why should he humiliate himself and make his life worse than death when he is so loyal?

Why should he let himself be engraved on the tombstone when he has such a great contribution?

However, these reasons seem to be known from the time they said it.

You didn't do anything wrong, but for the future of everyone, you only need to sacrifice yourself.

It was as if they were standing in the general's position and calmly proclaiming that "the woodcutter must die."

One day, they also became "woodcutters", and were indifferently declared "their own mortality" by others.

Even if there is no reason, even if there is no explanation, just indifference, this is the greatest malice.

A few people sat on the sofa and suddenly felt a whole chill coming from them.

They felt that there was darkness in front of them, and the heavy malice spread from the ground like smoke, and then gradually surrounded them.

Standing on the moral high ground at will to decide the sacrifice of others, is it really good to sacrifice others for everyone's slogan?

Isn't this the most critical reality?
