He frowned and thought seriously: "I see... The improvement of people's lives by technology itself does not represent the improvement of society as a whole. Even these useful new technologies may not necessarily have a real effect."
"That's right. The research direction of Salvatore and his teacher Benjamin Pope is 'transformation products that can be used by civilians and even poor people'."
Annan nodded and revealed a secret that Isaac didn't know: "Because the original motivation behind Benjamin's desire to become a transformation wizard was that when his childhood sweetheart girlfriend needed the transformation products the most, she couldn't afford them.
"So he vowed: If he could become a great transformation wizard, he would definitely develop transformation products that most people could afford. He didn't want his girlfriend's tragedy to happen again.
"——Now, he has done it."
Although Annan was narrating other people's stories, his eyes seemed to be shining.
Under Isaac's gaze, Annan slowly said: "These new technologies have infiltrated people's lives bit by bit. But they have not accumulated to a qualitative change... In other words, they are not enough to break the
Facing the wall.
"Just like when advancing to the dyeing position, only those with strong enough desires can have the 'power' to maintain themselves - if the people's desire to change everything is not strong, then their 'desire'
It will also be burned before reaching a new realm.
"Now it's just that some well-informed people like you are beginning to realize that these backward 'traditions' of Denisawia have hindered the new generation...
"However, because of the piracy system, Denisoya fell into a strange 'equilibrium state'. People persecute other people to maintain their position in society... Just like this, they can be satisfied. The current balance
It hasn’t been broken yet, and there isn’t an urgent desire to change things.”
Annan pointed out the real problem faced by Denisaw.
That is, Denisoya is not a true "lawless place".
It is actually orderly, but the order itself is quite degenerate. And this degenerate order is recognized by the people of Denisoya.
"So, how should this situation change for Denis Sawyer?"
Isaac leaned forward slightly and added: "I don't expect to change the world... It's too complicated and too big. It's like people who don't have any dreams will say, 'I want to be a great person.
'Same.
"If you want to change Denisoya... at least make it like Noah. Your Majesty Annan, do you have any ideas?"
"It's difficult. Rather, it's very difficult."
Annan said honestly: "If you were King Denisoya, it might be simpler. But you are just a dead man who died more than a hundred years ago, and I am not a local of the United Kingdom at all.
"The problem that Denisoya faces is not that when people want it to change, they encounter some kind of insurmountable resistance; it is that no one from His Majesty the King to the common people thinks there is any problem with this.
"Because of this pirate tradition of more than a hundred years..."
"It's two hundred years."
Isaac corrected.
"Yes, more than two hundred years of pirate tradition have made people adapt to this barbaric lifestyle - they are used to bullying others, accustomed to depravity and betrayal, and they don't even think that 'killing others' is an unforgivable sin.
Rather, it is a 'radical method that may endanger itself'.
"In other words, the entire Denisoya is selfish. Even the poorest people at the lowest level do not think there is anything wrong with this from the bottom of their hearts - the Denisoians are not eager to change everything. At best, they
I just hope that I can become a higher person and be able to bully others.
"This is a disease that the United Kingdom has suffered from for more than two hundred years. It can only be cured by this country's own young people."
"……Yes."
Isaac nodded heavily: "I was once one of these people. It was only after I entered the Jade Tower to study that I gradually realized that this was wrong, barbaric, and backward."
"So it's very simple."
Annan snapped his fingers: "That is education. More popular and higher-quality education can fundamentally improve the quality of the people.
"These adults are hopeless. They live in a pirate country and think like pirates. But children are different... through the guidance of education, these children can still be saved.
“In addition to abilities, we must first strengthen children’s morals. Then we must broaden their horizons and let them understand the outside world without being proud or inferior. Then, we must ignite the desire to change the world in their hearts——
Let them realize that Denisower cannot continue like this.
"The outstanding ones among them can naturally easily become leaders in the United Kingdom, where the weak and the strong prey on the weak. And their thoughts will gradually change others.
"One person can influence a group, and this group of people can influence more people - since the tradition is deeply rooted, people's prejudices are difficult to eradicate. Using violent means to influence them will have the opposite effect. Then use more permeable,
Infected with more correct concepts...
"Because what Denisawia really needs to change urgently is not the shortage of a certain technology, but the numbness of people's hearts."
"...It's actually like this."
Isaac murmured.
The education he received in the past was all about technology-oriented elite theory.
That is to say, the reason why this world is not perfect is that the vast majority of people in this world are ignorant trash. At most, they can only keep the world unchanged, but those who can truly change the world and usher in breakthroughs in the era can only
They are a very small number of elites.
And they will become the very few elites who will use cutting-edge technology to change the world. The more advanced the technology and theory, the faster they can lift the world out of the mud.
This is the theory of Jade Tower.
This is also the philosophy that every wizard who comes from Jade Tower believes in.
They believe...even if their technology cannot bring about changes for a while, it will eventually make the world a better place.
Of course Isaac was also a believer in this theory.
It was when he realized that Denisoya's "getting better" and the "getting better" he thought were not the same thing at all that he developed extremely strong self-doubt.
But now, under Annan's guidance, he has gradually realized the other side of the truth: "I seem to understand a little bit, but I don't understand it completely... It means that the technology we have developed is just the 'key'.
But the only people who can truly open the door to a new era are the people themselves?
"The problem with Danny Sawyer is not that the key is wrong, but that the person holding the key doesn't want to open the door? So what we need to change now is thinking, not technology."
"...Almost. Although it feels like you have complicated the problem, it can be understood that way. But it should be noted that you have gone from one extreme to the other. Technology is also needed...or in other words, this is the same
It is also a technology - a technology in the field of humanities and social sciences.
"Of course there is nothing wrong with encouraging 'progress'. It's just that your vision is too narrow and you only focus on what you want to see. Of course, all wizard towers have this problem..."
Annan shrugged and drank the remaining half glass of mint rum in one gulp.
He breathed a sigh of satisfaction and picked up the scepter beside the table: "Let's go."
"Where to go?"
As a local, Isaac asked subconsciously.
I don't know when he started to follow Annan's instructions habitually.
"Go talk to Ya Weng. In the name of his future colleague."
Annan narrowed his eyes.
At some point, he had a superior temperament that even Isaac was in awe of: "Although it was just a casual chat, your doubts reminded me of one thing. I probably know what Yawen wants to do...
But I'm still not sure. So I went over and had a chat with him.
"I hope he didn't go on a business trip with Yin Jue."
