Chapter 989 Ancient society and historical reincarnation
Salomon reluctantly swallowed the sweet hot tea to avoid damaging his clothes and the precious books in his hands.
"This is a breakfast book club, are these your only thoughts?" He glanced at little Lorna who was huddled in a seat aside.
Little Lorna scratched the skin above her socks and shrugged casually. At first Salomon and Athena wanted to send her to a mutual aid club, but after learning about the relapse rate in the mutual aid club, he gave up the idea and switched to
He chose to insert little Lorna into his morning reading session - at least once a week during the vacation, Salomon would force himself not to linger with the witch in bed that day, get up, sit at the dining table, eat breakfast and then start studying. Little Lorna was right
Reading clubs are not a nuisance, and Salomon's private library contains many rare books from hundreds of years ago bought from collectors that others can only see in university libraries.
But compared to the mechanical modifications, historical research and even magical experiments that Salomon carried out in the study, little Lorna welcomed the gray short-haired cat who jumped on the desk on time and swept the ink bottle off the table. "A bit too rational.
"It's very unpleasant and lacks a bit of humanistic care." She said, "If we can arrange for Robbie Reyes and his brother to meet, even if it is secretly, this story will have a good ending. "Ghost Rider"
I will be more willing to sacrifice my life for you. The Eternal City can do it, why don’t you do it?”
"Because of responsibility. After Robbie Reyes became the Ghost Rider, his personal meaning no longer existed, and was replaced by the function of the Ghost Rider. It is cold to say this, but it is quite realistic. The responsibility of the Ghost Rider
It has long surpassed the meaning of Robbie Reyes. If he cannot fulfill his responsibilities, then he will be as painful as Johnny Blazer, and seeing Gabe Reyes will only make him more sad.
There is a reason why Johnny Blaze stays away from his girlfriend. Even if Kamal Taj can let him stay with his girlfriend, he still has to run around to complete the task because he has to bear the responsibility.
Your own responsibility.”
"you sure?"
"This issue can be extended to the balance between collective interests and individual interests, and can also be extended to the different emphases of patriarchal society and matrilineal society, because the non-blood concept of the country appeared only after the patriarchal society, and the concept of the human community also
So. This problem is so complicated because the two are inseparable parts. To understand this problem, we must go back to the beginning of human civilization and look at our environment from the environment before the concept of country and nation was born.
Problem - At the beginning of human civilization, unstable food acquisition methods such as fishing and hunting dominated. At that time, the strongest people occupied all the resources. This was also the original patriarchal society. Let strong individuals occupy more resources, and strong people
Individuals are responsible for maintaining the security of the group and obtaining more food. This is the optimal solution for the survival of the primitive society in a hunting environment. However, this patriarchal society only existed for a short period of time, maybe only a few decades, and there was no time to even survive.
Lower civilization, because of the rise of primitive agriculture, this is also a step towards the evolution of human civilization, and it can start to be called humans instead of animals."
Salomon took a sip of tea and continued. "With the emergence of primitive agriculture and livestock raising, matrilineal society began to emerge. Women were respected in society, gained dominant and dominant positions, and practiced
An extremely primitive communal system. The matriarchal society paid attention to everyone. Even individuals who could not obtain food by themselves could survive successfully. At that time, there were only collective interests and no individual interests, because everyone got equal things. This sounds very strange.
Beautiful and correct, isn’t it?”
One disadvantage of listening to Salomon's lectures is that the listeners themselves must have corresponding knowledge, and there is no reading list before the start of each semester in the orphanage's curriculum, so those children often find that they suddenly cannot understand the lecturer
What are you talking about? Fortunately, Lorna (forced to) read the books that Athena placed in the orphanage, and she can still keep up with Salomon's lectures.
"What I said is based on a very important premise, that is, the survival of the population. It is meaningless to discuss any situation without the productivity at that time." Salomon waved, and the invisible servant took out the bookshelf.
A few books and a few photos. "Although matriarchal society conforms to our humanistic imagination of modern society, the reason why matriarchal society distributes equally is just because there is no food left. If the food is not shared equally, someone will starve to death. Matriarchal society can determine
Blood ties, blood ties bring trust and security, so food can be distributed equally. If patriarchal society and private ownership were born at that time, then the tribe would only die."
"Productivity is everything."
"That's right." The mystic nodded with satisfaction, "And in a matrilineal society, men are responsible for hunting, maintaining security, and conducting foreign wars. However, what maintains the core of the tribe is the highest point of matrilineal blood, which is the grandmother. In matrilineal societies, there are more men.
Girls, in addition to production work, women were also responsible for absorbing genes from foreign races to continue the tribe. Coupled with the high risk of childbirth at that time, the original reproductive worship was born. If you believe those idiots boasting that humans only need to return to the maternal line
If there would be no war in society, then you would be stupid - there is no so-called peace outside the tribes of matriarchal society, and war captives are used as food rather than human beings. It is also from the external wars of tribes that the signs of patriarchal society reappear.
However, when the patriarchal society reappears, it has to wait until agricultural technology develops again and enters the agricultural society. This is the second step in the development of human civilization, the slave society. The reason why male muscles can attract women's attention is because being strong means being able to
Obtaining more food can protect the safety of the group."
"You still missed the point."

"Don't worry, listen to me slowly. Anyway, you will definitely finish it before lunch." Salomon pushed the book "The Origin of Family, Private Ownership and the State" in front of little Lorna, "History is reincarnated, and we
You can see the future direction from it. After listening to this lesson, this book is your homework. You have to write a paper on patriarchal society and private ownership, but I want to remind you that private ownership is not a patent of patriarchal society. As long as
If productivity reaches the standard, matrilineal society can still have private ownership. If we want to talk about why patriarchal society in the agricultural era defeated matrilineal society, it is because of productivity, war and fertility."
"population?"
"The race that rules the world will reproduce like rabbits, just like humans. War will consume the population, and slavery in the agricultural era will greatly increase the population through the privatization of women and children, including those of hostile tribes. At the same time,
The patriarchal society that annexed the matrilineal society began to produce the concept of the state. The patriarchal society that clarified the concept of rights and responsibilities formed a community of interests to cooperate with each other and had extremely strong war potential. This is also the origin of the nobility in human civilization. What you see on the Internet today
Those who call for a return to matriarchal society and oppose childbirth are either so selfish that they do not want to assume social responsibilities, or they foolishly believe that matriarchal society is a matriarchal privileged society, a peaceful and beautiful society, and do not understand at all that women in matriarchal societies must bear the responsibilities of race.
The work of reproduction is done whether you like it or not."
"This is really surprising." Lorna blinked, "I have never heard this kind of story from Ms. Minerva."
"The weapons of mass destruction that humans now have, the aggressiveness of patriarchal society, the ability to reproduce the population, and the hematopoietic ability of war are no longer applicable. After the emergence of the atomic bomb, large-scale wars gradually disappeared, and productivity has been decoupled from personal power.
The characteristics of a matriarchal society have reappeared. Although the population on the earth is expanding wildly, the proportion of illegitimate births in Europe is as high as 60%. These all indicate that modern society is moving towards a matriarchal society again. Engels's prediction is quite correct. The invention of farming technology dies.
The matrilineal system was eliminated, and the invention of the atomic bomb eliminated the patriarchal system, but—"
"—but everything before this word is bullshit!"
Salomon glared at little Lorna.
"But we all know that the existential crisis of the human race has never disappeared. The predators hidden behind the curtain of reality are staring closely at our souls. Alien species are eager to obtain resources and labor. In this case
In this world, the human race must cooperate with each other and unite to deal with threats. We must form one body and throw away all attachments, such as assets, gender, etc. Only in this way can we survive and expand in this dark universe. Death
Everyone is equal in front of us. Predators and aliens from extra dimensions don’t care how much assets you have. Only when we defeat death and successfully upgrade to rule all races in the galaxy will true equality and peace be ushered in again.”
"I probably understand what you want to say."
"Then let's go back to the question of Robbie Reyes. No matter what the system is, the function of the Ghost Rider is war, so he must bear his responsibility to this race. He must protect the human race in a way
, to protect his relatives from those terrible threats, because if he doesn't do this, no one knows whether the next unlucky one will be his relatives. It can be said that regardless of whether the Ghost Rider is a man or a woman, he has to bear this responsibility.
This is not a 'grand narrative', but an existential problem that is closely related to us. In order to solve this problem, Robbie Reyes must become the Ghost Rider. Staying away from his loved ones is both out of emotional considerations and out of necessity.
Rational needs are not all the rational judgments you think. That’s why he agreed to my conditions. I will get Gabe Reyes back from SHIELD and let him receive an education from a wealthy family.
——This is my responsibility as his ruler, and each of us has to bear a part, no one is exempt, and for Robby Reyes, my responsibility is to take care of Gabe Reyes."
"You are pursuing Plato's justice. What you want to build is an utopia where everyone performs their duties and fulfills their duties." Lorna said, "But it is difficult for people to understand each other. Don't think I haven't seen it.
eva."
Salomon shrugged nonchalantly, "Then start with me."
