In the primitive era, the most accepted thing was religion, and each religion would have a mother nature goddess, usually the sky, and then the sky would give birth to other gods, such as the God of Thunder, the God of Rain, the God of Harvest, and so on.
Religion does not need to accurately answer the questions of primitive people. It only needs to tell them that God is the answer to everything. The cost of dissemination is very low. The only problem is that the gods believed in are different from tribe to tribe. Of course, in the final analysis, the scope of management of gods and the way they are born
They are all the same, maybe the names are different, but this is enough for two tribes with different religions to fight to the death.
At the same time, precisely because the cost of spreading religion is very low, it is reasonable to explain that it is reasonable for the public to say that the public is right and the mother-in-law is right for the mother-in-law. Therefore, if religion is the unified thought, problems may arise. After all, there are a thousand gods in the hearts of a thousand people, and religion can easily
Split into different factions, because the low cost means that the cost of making things up is also low. After all, religion is not science and does not need to give an answer that convinces everyone.
Geno grew up in a religious atmosphere, and there were many believers around him. They all believed that they were the chosen ones and should lead mankind forward. They didn't think there was anything wrong with this idea. And there was nothing wrong with them asking others to obey.
Rely not on virtue, but on guns and a sense of superiority over others of the same kind.
Because they are better than others, if someone is disobedient, just kill them.
After receiving the warning from Infinite City, Geno immediately knew that he wanted to become the savior, and they had to make all mankind obedient as quickly as possible.
"We can do it." They have a lot of weapons and equipment, so there is absolutely no problem.
Geno said: "If we unite, we will live and if we divide, we will die. This must mean that apart from us, there are people in other places and other continents who have also unlocked the petrification. After all, there are seven billion stone statues in the world. How to unlock the stone statues by yourself?"
No matter how small the probability is, multiplying it by seven billion is still a large number. I think after this warning, we will meet others soon."
Everyone thought it made sense: "But other people may not have the weapons we have. If they are willing to join us, that's fine. If not, then we can only force them." It was obvious that they all agreed to use force to deal with the enemy.
Geno didn't say anything, which was regarded as acquiescence.
The chosen one should be superior to others.
However, Dulan doesn't think there is anything wrong with this idea. After all, people sacrificed their blood and bones for the promotion of religion in the first place. Now, the chosen son is getting the dividends from his ancestors, so there is no problem. Dulan even thinks that religion and
Confucianism has many similarities. Religion makes people love the people in the religion first, and then love non-believers and draw them into the religion. Confucianism, on the other hand, makes people love their family first and then love the people in the world. There is a first-come, first-served sequence.
order.
This is a natural social phenomenon. It is impossible for everyone in human beings to truly love the world. So Duran knew that Geno and Stone God would definitely have to fight, and this battle would determine the future of mankind.
"It would be best for Geno to win," Duran said.
Wu Ding was puzzled: "Why do you want Geno to win? Their ideas are obviously not very clever. Even if they worship gods, gods will not favor humans. Doesn't the destruction of Yin and Shang just prove this?" Wu Ding was the resurgence of the Shang Dynasty.
Lord, under his leadership, the Shang Dynasty completed its external expansion, and he and his wife never interrupted their sacrifice to the 'Emperor'. They killed many captives just to make the gods happy, but in the end Shang was destroyed by Zhou
, so Wu Ding now also knows that he can only rely on himself instead of relying on gods and emperors.
"You still haven't learned the concept of cost. If Shi Shen wins, he will choose the high-cost path of scientific development, but he is obviously not prepared to pay the high cost and has no determination to bear the infamy brought by the cost." "If
If the Stone God defeated Geno, he will definitely not liquidate Jeno. Then Jeno's thoughts will not disappear, and the costs that the Stone God does not have to bear will be borne by future generations. The cost will not disappear, but will only be passed on. The Stone God will not bear it.
If you liquidate other people's costs, then future generations will bear them, and the cost will definitely be greater, because the cost is like a snowball that will not get smaller but will get bigger and bigger."
Wu Ding was stunned for a moment: "I understand, is he the same as Qin Shihuang? His implementation of 'cars on the same track, books on the same text, and unified weights and measures' is the cost. Because he forced everyone to accept this, he has been infamous, but precisely because the cost has already
After the payment is completed, future generations will not have to pay, and will only need to receive the dividends?" "So, do you think that between the Stone God and Jeno, Jeno has the ability of Qin Shihuang, will liquidate the Stone God, and is more suitable for uniting mankind?"
"Yes, the Stone God will not liquidate Geno, but Geno will liquidate the Stone God. The Stone God is still too soft-hearted, and his previous behavior shows that he lacks courage," Duran said.
Wu Ding said: "So it doesn't matter whether Geno's ideas are right or not. What's important is that he can pay the cost of unifying human thought." According to cost theory, promotion behavior that can bear the cost is right, and promotion that cannot bear the cost is right.
Wrong. Even if it is an extreme idea such as murder and arson, as long as someone is willing to pay expensive costs to promote it, then it is right. But if it is benevolent and moral, but no one is willing to bear the cost of promotion, then it is wrong.
Because the cost was insufficient, the Qin Method had many advantages, but it was not successfully promoted and was scolded for two thousand years. Because the cost was high, Confucianism had various shortcomings and was patched up, but it was praised for two thousand years.
Qin Fa and Confucianism illustrate that as long as it can be popularized, no matter what idea it is, it can be patched by others.
Therefore, Jeno's decisive character will never be afraid of costs and will definitely implement it wholeheartedly. Even if he implements religious beliefs, it is better than Stone God's indecisive character. If Stone God wins, he will definitely keep Jeno, so in the future
Humanity will definitely be divided again, because the Stone God did not bear the cost in the first place.
Although Wu Ding followed Duran for 3,700 years, sometimes he really felt that Duran was not a human being. He was a cold and cold way of heaven, only overlooking the changes in the world and the choices of human beings, without any warmth at all.
But history is like this, and Leng Bingbing only looks at the ending.
But people are not machines after all. They will definitely have strong personal feelings when they make choices. After all, many ideas will appear in an era. If the cost is not considered, then each idea can become the protagonist of the era, but obviously humans at that time would
Seek advantages and avoid disadvantages, calculate costs, and even accept and understand ideas according to their own likes and dislikes. Therefore, the more ideas there are, the more fierce the competition will be, and the more people will be separated. Even if you accept Duran's cost theory, everyone's understanding of costs will be different.
It's different, and the final choice you make will be different.
Just like Jeno and Stone God, they have different understandings of costs. Jeno is willing to pay the cost of human life, but Stone God is not willing. This is Jeno's advantage over Stone God, because promoting ideas really requires real swords and guns.
, giving both kindness and power does not just rely on virtue, but also relies on force.
