"What you said can only mean that a white horse is not a horse, but it cannot mean that a white horse is not a horse." Zhao Kuo shook his head.
"White horse is just a specific image, and horse refers to a comprehensive concept. Horses have many images such as white horse, red horse, yellow horse, etc., which of course are not equal to the specific white horse. Therefore, the white horse is not a horse." Gongsun Long said again.
People around him nodded frequently, feeling that what Gongsun Long said made sense.
"Sir, he only said that a horse is not a white horse, a red horse, or a yellow horse. He did not say that a white horse is not a horse, a red horse is not a horse, and a yellow horse is not a horse. This is just a change of concept. White horses, red horses, and yellow horses are all horses.
"Mr. Zibing is wearing black clothes today. If he changes into a set of red clothes tomorrow, wouldn't he be Mr. Zibing?"
Zhao Kuo shook his head again.
It has to be said that Gongsun Long's white horse is not a horse and Zhao Gao's behavior of calling a deer a horse is far different.
Zhao Gao is the master who takes the lead.
After everyone heard Zhao Kuo's words, they suddenly realized that they had been deceived by Gongsun Long's concept of secret exchange.
Everyone understood, but Gongsun Long was stunned.
"No matter what clothes I wear, I am me, but I am a comprehensive concept. The me who wears black clothes is a specific image. The me who wears black clothes is not the same as the me who wears red clothes. Then am I myself..."
"Is it me..."
"I……"
Countless buzzing sounds bombarded Gongsun Long's mind. Gongsun Long held his head and rolled on the ground with a very painful expression.
"No, Mr. Zi Bing's courage as a celebrity is about to break." A customer exclaimed.
Zhao Shenggang asked someone to help Gongsun Long up, but unexpectedly Gongsun Long sat up on his own, with blood on the corner of his mouth and a ferocious expression, but his eyes were extremely determined.
"White horse..."
Zhao Kuo interrupted Gongsun Long and said, "I heard that your white horse is not a horse, but I suddenly thought of an interesting thing and wanted to ask you for advice."
"Ma Fuzi, please tell me." Gongsun Long said in a deep voice.
"Let's assume that Mr. Zibing is faster than the turtle. If a turtle is placed a hundred steps in front of Mr. Zibing, and Mr. Zibing and the turtle start running at the same time, can Mr. Zibing catch up with the turtle?"
Zhao Kuo said.
Everyone couldn't help laughing, and Zhao Kuo compared Gongsun Long and Oogway together.
Gongsun Long's reputation is completely over!
"You are insulting me. How could I not catch up with a turtle?" Gongsun Long was furious.
"Well, if Mr. Zi Bing wants to catch up with the turtle, he must reach the starting point of the turtle. However, when Mr. Zi Bing reaches the starting point of the turtle, the turtle has crawled forward for some distance. Then Mr. Zi Bing must spend more time.
Time has caught up with this distance, but at this time the tortoise crawled forward again... By analogy, we can conclude that Mr. Zi Bing will never be able to catch up with the tortoise. Why did Mr. Zi Bing dare to say such crazy things about himself?
Can you catch up with a turtle?"
Zhao Kuo said with a smile.
This is a famous paradox in ancient Greece: Zeno's tortoise has troubled people for many years, and is even more famous than Gongsun Long's white horse, which is not a horse.
"Hahaha, Gongsun Long can't catch up with the turtle." Ben couldn't help laughing, and Liu Ping quickly hit him with his arm.
Lord Pingyuan and his disciples all fell into deep thought. It was clear that Gongsun Long could definitely catch up with the turtle, but according to what Zhao Kuo said, he would never be able to catch up.
And the more I think about it, the more I feel that Zhao Kuo is right. What is going on?
No one can understand it no matter how much they think about it.
"I...I lost...I will donate all my family's money and food tomorrow and become a slave in Ma Fuzi's house."
Gongsun Long slowly stood up, his eyes were dull, and he staggered outside.
"Ma Fuzi, it's obvious that Gongsun Long can actually catch up with Wugui, but why after listening to your words, the more I think about it, the more I feel that you are right, Gongsun Long can never catch up with Wugui. What's going on?"
After Gongsun Long left, a guest saluted him.
"It's very simple, because this problem limits one condition, that is, Gongsun Long reaches the previous node of the turtle. This condition seems to be no problem, but it is actually a trap."
"When Gongsun Long reached the previous node of the turtle, the tortoise crawled forward for a certain distance, so Gongsun Long could never catch up with the turtle. To translate this sentence, it actually means that when Gongsun Long reached the previous node of the turtle,
You can never catch up with the turtle. But the turtle is moving, so this sentence actually means that before Gongsun Long catches up with the turtle, he can never catch up with the turtle. See, this is nonsense."
"This problem is actually the same as Gongsun Long's white horse. It just changed the concept. The original 'reach the previous node' was replaced by 'forever'. When reaching the previous node, it was impossible to catch up with the turtle, and it became forever unable.
Catch up with the turtle."
Later, Zeno's tortoise was so miraculous that it was uploaded on the Internet. Some people even used the so-called dichotomy interpretation from a mathematical perspective to complicate a simple problem, and many people spared it.
In fact, Zeno's tortoise is just a sophistry like the white horse is not a horse. As long as you catch the trap he designed, you will naturally understand.
"This is sophistry, calling the dead as alive, and the wrong as right, but it has no meaning in itself."
"The purpose of debate is to distinguish different categories of things so that they do not infringe upon each other. To distinguish different concepts so that they are not confused. To express one's own intentions and general concepts, to express one's own opinions, so that others can understand them, rather than being confused.
Confused."
"In this way, the winner of the debate can stick to his position, and the loser can also get the truth he is pursuing. This kind of debate can be carried out. If like Gongsun Long, he uses red tape as evidence and uses clever words to slander each other.
"Using fancy words to covertly change concepts and attract others to miss the point will undermine the fundamental principles of scholarship. Such debates are meaningless even if they are won," Zhao Kuo said.
"Ma Fuzi is a great talent." Everyone, including Lord Pingyuan, bowed to Zhao Kuo sincerely.
Zhao Kuo's words quickly spread throughout the seven countries like wings, and his reputation skyrocketed instantly, even tending to overshadow the Fourth Young Master.
Countless people came to visit, vying to become Zhao Kuo's disciples.
There are even those who want to worship Zhao Kuo as their teacher, and there are countless people who want to debate with Zhao Kuo.
After Zhao She passed away, Ma Fujun's mansion became crowded again.
"Don't worry, Ma Fuzi. I will definitely persuade the Zhao nobles to donate food to the frontline soldiers and never let the frontline soldiers fight hungry."
Mr. Pingyuan assured.
"Thank you, Mr. Pingyuan." Zhao Kuo saluted.
After the banquet, Lord Pingyuan personally sent Zhao Kuo out of the house.
Looking at Zhao Kuo's back, Lord Pingyuan said slowly:
"This boy has the style of riding a horse to obey the king."
