A yellowing tourist map was taken by Duran to make a plan for the second civilization. In the next three thousand years, he will transform many places. Now he is waiting for the population to grow.
When we came to the land of Longxing in ancient Rome, there were hundreds of times more supplies than on the small island, and a population explosion was inevitable.
After Fu Hao and Wu Ding ensured the safety of the tribe, they began comprehensive construction. Sacrifice and hunting became the main activities of the tribe. They injected a lot of vitality into the tribe, making the primitive people become regional overlords, competing with lions and tigers for hegemony.
Du Lan has been observing that after the second civilization passed its initial survival crisis, many places began to rush towards the first civilization. For example, religion, although Wu Ding and Fu Hao did not move the 'emperor' gods of the Yin and Shang dynasties over,
But primitive man would create his own gods.
Human beings are small, and they long for the existence of a great power that can protect themselves when they encounter danger. They also deify disasters such as storms, lightning, diseases, and fires that directly devour human lives, hoping that through sacrifices
In exchange for peaceful coexistence with these terrible gods.
Without the support of science, humans will spontaneously create gods.
The first god created was basically the sky god, and then other gods were born from the sky god. The mainstream mythological systems are all arranged in this way, and this is the simplest view of mythology.
Should the second mythology also play religion? Religion gives primitive people psychological comfort and is the spiritual energy that supports primitive people to get along with nature. If not, there must be a substitute.
"People are really strange. A common thing has been repeated countless times, but once one day you think about why you did it, you will fall into infinite confusion." Dulan found Fu Hao and Wu Ding: "What's going on with you husband and wife?"
look?"
"You can directly delete human doubts." Fuhao said simply. She thought Duran could do it.
Wu Ding said: "It is human nature to ask why, and it is also the difference between humans and animals."
Confucius said benevolence, and during the Hundred Schools of Thought, his opponents asked him why. Then Mencius came out to patch up Confucianism, so it was the way of Confucius and Mencius. What Confucius proposed was an experience, not a theory. So in the Hundred Schools of Thought, various theories attacked each other.
In a progressive era, this kind of experience will naturally be questioned, why should benevolence and why should we follow etiquette? If we cannot answer these questions, we will not be able to accept Confucianism.
Mencius solved the problem of why benevolence is needed. He proposed that benevolence is because people naturally have compassion, shame, right and wrong, and resignation. Therefore, benevolence is an attribute that everyone naturally possesses, and what they have to do
It is just to discover benevolence, not to create benevolence. It also proposes how to discover benevolence, which is to go back to ancient times and learn from the ancients.
Faced with so many incredible and incomprehensible things in nature, primitive people will also ask why, why thunder and rain, why birth, old age, illness and death. At this time, someone needs to come out to answer, and at the level of primitive people, they can get
The answer is 'God'.
God is the answer to why. Although it is not a standard answer or even a reference answer, it can indeed bring peace of mind.
"Besides religion, what else can make them feel at ease?" Duran asked.
Wu Ding and his wife looked at each other in confusion, and finally Wu Ding replied: "Philosophy can satisfy the wise. Entertainment can satisfy the mortals."
"Yes, yes, in the final analysis, it is to guide people's thinking. To make their thinking feel meaningful when it is moving. Thinking is like a machine that never stops, but this machine has no goods that need to be produced.
It kept idling, so in order to make the operation meaningful, ideological commodities such as religion, philosophy, and entertainment were produced in the machine." "So thinking about it conversely, if this machine stopped, there would be no need for thought.
It’s a commodity.”
Hiss! The two couples looked shocked. As long as the person is alive, the thinking machine will not stop. Unless the person dies, that would be terrible. Does Duran want to turn all primitive people into the living dead?
"Don't be afraid, after all, I, Dulan, am not a demon." Dulan laughed: "You don't need to think about why if you stop thinking, and many problems will be solved." "And I won't force them, as long as they stop thinking.
If you package your thinking, you can make them pursue it eagerly." "Do you know that three people become tigers? Religious miracles are basically the same thing, so as long as someone thinks that stopping thinking is a perfect state and keeps promoting it, it will be very difficult.
Almost all primitive people will pursue this realm."
"What's the difference between stopping to think and those stones?"
"It makes no difference. I just want to try it and let human beings' thinking stay in the Stone Age."
The couple were helpless about Duran's decision, but they didn't know how Duran could make the primitive man stop thinking.
In fact, it is very simple. The petrified people around them stopped thinking, and the perfect creature Kaz also stopped thinking. This shows that stopping thinking is completely possible: "It only takes a gesture. Just form the seal like this."
, it can make people stop thinking.”
"Then how to recover?"
"It will recover in twelve hours."
"Do you really think that you can rely on this kind of spontaneous sealing to make human beings stop thinking?" Fu Hao thinks that there will always be primitive people who choose to think, because this is free will.
"That's right, let's do this. I'll add another condition. If primitive people think for more than twelve hours, they will be petrified, so they should know how to combine work and rest." Duran was also ruthless towards the second civilization and had to force it.
Intimidate them to stop thinking about why.
"..." The two couples were speechless. Dulan was obviously bullying others. But in this case, maybe he could really create a different civilization.
A new civilization that is half stone and half creature without religion.
Sure enough, the gods are all lies. Fu Hao and Wu Ding, two managers of the Yin Shang Zhongxing, no longer believe in the gods. The gods don't care about the quality of human beings. They only care about whether they are happy or not.
Both Fu Hao and Wu Ding felt that what was sung in the Internationale was right. There is no fairy emperor or savior. The only thing that can save mankind is mankind itself.
In order to prevent the birth of the second civilization from following the old path of the first civilization, Duran also struck hard and taught primitive people how to stop thinking and wait to escape the development of religion and philosophy.
Without these ideological commodities, suspense abounds as to whether human beings will transform into beasts, what changes their actions will bring to the world, and what direction the second-generation civilization will take.
Fu Hao and Wu Ding saw Du Lan saying to a deserted place: "Foretelling what will happen next, please see the next chapter for details."
"..." They all thought that Duran was crazy. In fact, Duran was communicating with his family across the universe. He knew that his family was watching his performance at home. What he was watching just now was the camera position of Dimensional TV. But
Wu Ding and Fu Hao didn't understand. In their view, Dulan was completely indescribable and incomprehensible. They even suspected that Dulan was the mastermind behind the first generation of petrified civilization, but unfortunately there was no evidence.
But people had to bow their heads under the eaves, so Fu Hao and Wu Ding could only obey Dulan's arrangements and follow Dulan crazy.
