Chapter 219 Postulate
This, perhaps it can be called the "first postulate" that constitutes society, is the most fundamental and most inescapable postulate—when you ignore this premise, and think about human nature, society, law, system, economy, etc. When it comes to a series of issues such as science, technology, humanities, etc., then such thinking is meaningless groaning!It's like thinking about geometry, but ignoring the basic postulates—how can it be established without a foundation?How can such thinking stand the test?
You are used to this way of thinking, and this is also his consistent way of thinking.Therefore, he first found the article of "survival and continuation":
Any kind of life and species, whether they choose to live alone or live in groups, whether they choose to eat vegetarian or meat...all are for survival and continuation!
For survival and continuation, sociality does not necessarily arise—but for sociality to arise, it must be for survival and continuation.
Only with this foundation can we talk about the second, third, and fourth... and only when the basic postulates one after another, like the "postulates" of geometry, can be completed, can further deduction and demonstration be carried out .Yuren said: "Next, on the basis of the first article, we will summarize the necessity of social animals—that is, why they must live in groups. This is too complicated to elaborate, but if In short, that is the four words of species difference—”
The four words "species difference" are actually a very clear generalization, but this generalization is sufficiently abstract and highly advanced.
The details of each species are naturally different.And Yuren and Nagato are talking about people, so they refer to people alone... However, Yuren habitually narrows the scope step by step from the basis of all creatures to the category of humans, and then goes further , deduced bit by bit, step by step—for example, the initial human society was a small tribe, a small cluster, and the population was based on the family.Then, how did this group grow and become the current country?
What is the trigger for this change?How and why the rules of society are formed, human beings instinctively expand the scope of society... What is the ultimate purpose?
An invisible hand is hidden in it.
……
"Let's go back to people. We just talked about the content of the evolution of human society. We can see from it that the driving force behind the continuous evolution and division of labor in human society is actually the first one. It revolves around this one. And from this, strong dependence is derived—that is, the stronger the group, the more attractive and desirable it is. And if a social group is to be strong, it must have more people, master More manpower and strength can compete for more social resources..."
"You see, people in some small countries yearn for a big country, and people in a weak country yearn for a strong country. Before there was nationalism, it was called a good bird choosing a tree to live in."
With nationalism, this is a "traitor" who betrays one's own nation and country!
"In human society, what a person thinks, or thinks subconsciously, is actually continuation. Survival and continuation are one - survival does not mean that you as an individual can live well, but that your blood can be healthy The continuation, the longer continuation. This is a criterion for judging! Whether a leader is a tyrant or a benevolent emperor, these two prerequisites are the prerequisites for a group to be willing to cling to. You see, in ancient times, the slavery system was so barbaric , but why should the slave be obedient? This is the reason..."
"What customs, habits, humanities-these are fragile. As long as you meet a strong man, you can change the world overnight. He can turn an open and free country into a closed and conservative one. Women go out. A country that wraps itself up and takes it for granted. It can also make such a closed and conservative country become extremely open overnight, and it feels normal to run naked in the street with bare buttocks... For the society as a whole In other words, it is nothing more than embellishment..."
……
When one postulate after another for the society is summed up by people, and then deduced and demonstrated from these postulates, the "brightness" that was originally thought to be "bright" is worthless.
It's really too fragile!
……
Because "civilization" itself is just a by-product.
……
Nagato said: "So, to ensure the stability of a society is actually to balance the contradiction between the ruled and the ruled - as long as the ruled feel at ease, as long as the most basic principles are guaranteed, then the society will be stable. However, to do this seems to be the easiest, but it is also the most difficult - because the ruler itself cannot restrain the ruler, lack of supervision. But conversely, the ruler who is supervised and restricted is powerless to a Effective management and control by social groups!"
This is human nature - when human nature spreads to a group, this is class attribute.There may be very few people who can jump out, but most of them only belong to their own class.
No one will put shackles on themselves, so there will be no self-restriction of the ruling class-they will only continue to make progress and squeeze the ruled class until the contradictions cannot be reconciled, and a violent revolution occurs. A new cycle will start.History repeats itself again and again, even the person who shouts "learn from history" will never learn the lessons of history!
"A country can only have one voice. But this voice cannot be uttered by one person, let alone by countless people."
It was said by someone, but it has a lot of meaning.
"It can't be one person, and it can't be countless people, so what is it?"
Nagato was speechless.
……
After walking for a while, Yucai spoke slowly, his voice was like the gentle wind in spring, not intense, but moist and silent:
"There are many mediocre people in the world, so we can't let everyone speak. But in a group, there must be elite talents. Let these elite talents speak, and let the elites carry the future of an ethnic group and country, and decide The direction of a country. When these opinions are chosen and decided, the implementation is unquestionable. When a voice appears, everyone must follow the voice... This is a decision! Nagato, you say, you want What do we need to do to achieve this goal?"
……
"Elite, the first thing is to let them feel that they are respected, they are elites, and they have a sense of dedication..."
……
"So, it's back to the issue of privilege. If there is no privilege, the elite cannot feel the difference between themselves and ordinary people, so how can they develop self-awareness?"
