What Duran said was clear and logical, and both Adad and Sero were elated when they heard it. It seemed that a great civilization with multiple universes had been completed in Duran's words.
As for the national character that Duran mentioned, everyone has a deep understanding of this. Not only the earth, but also other planets have such characteristics. On planets with different environments, the character of civilization is completely different. This should be because in civilization
Successful experiences gained through trial and error are difficult to change.
Even Ultraman has his own character, and it's the same for the Dada people. It's so true.
The geographical environment affects the selection of talents, the selection of talents affects the national character, and the national character affects the selection of talents... It can be said to form a cycle.
A land and a nation will need specific talents, and only a few large countries can provide a stage for diverse talents. For small countries and few people, they only need specific talents, and other talents need to be suppressed.
It's not that small countries with few people are biased, but successful experience tells them that if they want to live on this land, it's best to rely on specific talents. Although other talents are good, no one is willing to pay them the cost of trial and error.
"So what we have to do is to pay the cost of trial and error to more talents and cast a wide net. As long as more talents have a stage to develop, there will be a siphon effect, and a steady stream of talents will join us. Diversity is also the point
It can be done." Dulan said: "Then we will have another 'human rule' and it should be almost done."
Adad asked: "Why not the rule of law?"
"The core of the rule of law is not the rule of man? Whether it is the legal school or the illegal school, it is still people in the end. Whether it is to protect the interests within the boundaries or to restrict behavior, in the end it still depends on the people. I think Ultraman should be allowed to be the supervisor of the law.
"Whether it is an illegal faction or a legal faction depends on the situation, and there must be a flexible bottom line." Dulan said casually: "We cannot expect to make this organization perfect. If it is too perfect, our descendants will only be tied up.
.”
Du Lan even thought about the future. In the words of a crosstalk actor, if the parents are talented, they only have to give 70% of their efforts and leave 30% to their children.
"We are just completing the historical mission and leaving some flaws for future generations, so that future generations can also develop, right?" "Just like Ultraman, their system is too perfect, so it is really too difficult to change the methods of our ancestors.
It’s difficult. But if there are obvious flaws in the ancestor’s method, it will be easier to change it.”
Both Adad and Sero realized that no matter how hard they work to develop the system, as time goes by, the system will definitely have to adapt to the times and cannot maintain its original state forever. Therefore, they leave some flaws in it for future generations to change.
Leave some space so that future generations can make a decision that goes against their ancestors.
They had to nod and admit that Duran was really focusing on the future, and Duran did not think that there really was a perfect system. Even if a system was perfect in a certain period of time and in a region, it would only be partial perfection.
Not overall perfection.
The important thing is the idea of breaking the boundaries. What Duran left behind is successful experience, and people will naturally choose him in the future.
The most interesting thing about history is recording experience. The experience of success and failure can serve as a model for more people to make choices.
It's like the West attaches so much importance to the history of ancient Greece, not because they are really the successors of ancient Greek civilization, but because they made use of the experience of ancient Greek city-states.
Why not use the experience of Rome, because Rome was still there during the Renaissance. If the experience of Rome were used, wouldn't those small city-states in the Renaissance be destroyed by Rome? So they chose the experience of ancient Greece.
In fact, the experience of ancient Egypt is that it is a small country with few people, that is, the people in the city-state are its own people, and the people outside are not people. This was also done in the era of ancient Rome, and the Central Plains also played it during the Yin and Shang Dynasties.
Later, Westerners faked many new experiences into the experience of ancient Greece and paraded them around, so that ancient Greek civilization seemed to be amazing. In fact, if you think about it, you will know that if ancient Greek civilization was really amazing, it would not be
disappeared for such a long time.
For a long time, ancient Rome only recognized people from three major tribes as Romans: Latins, Sabines, and Intrusans. Only people from these three tribes were Romans, and no one else was.
The same is true for the Yin merchants. Only the Yin merchants are human beings, and no one else counts. From other tribes, even the clan leaders are just higher-level sacrificial materials.
The same is true for the city-state system of ancient Greece. Those in the city are human beings, and those outside are not human beings. The city-state of Athens even declared that only those whose parents were Athenians are Athenians.
The Renaissance was actually a process in which a group of small landowners and merchants who made a fortune through the Crusades fought against the big nobles, kings, and churches. During the Crusades, the Renaissance city-states were on the Mediterranean trade routes, and they relied on them to transport materials from the rear.
front.
When you get rich, the first thing you want is to protect your property. How can you prevent the great nobles and kings from taking away your wealth? Of course, it is to deconstruct the ideologies of the great nobles, kings, and churches.
Just like in the Eastern Jin Dynasty, the official ideology was Confucianism, but in order to deconstruct Confucianism, metaphysics arose at the local level, which was to set up a new standard.
The same was true for the Renaissance, but it was only carried out by some small city-states at that time, and its influence was limited. It was not until the later Enlightenment that the people's wisdom was truly opened up.
So what matters is experience, especially practical experience.
Why is the former Soviet Union so great? It is because it was the first country to practice socialism and left behind a lot of valuable experience.
Ancient Greece, ancient Rome, and the Shang Dynasty also all had experience. Even if these experiences turned out to be wrong, some people would still use them to modify and add to them.
For the small landowners and businessmen in the Renaissance, their greatest wish was to keep their wealth and not distribute it to others, so it is understandable that they chose the ancient Greek experience.
And later in the Age of Discovery, Western countries began to adopt the theory of nationalization and racial excellence, and took the experience of ancient Greece to its extreme.
It is a consensus among Westerners that only those whose parents are Athenians are Athenians. Others are not considered human beings. This is the consensus among Westerners. So when they talk about people, do not think that they are talking about everyone, they are talking about their ancestors.
The eighteen generations are all people of their own nation, not everyone in the world.
What Dulan has to do is to leave behind experience and gain more experience in breaking boundaries. In the end, everyone will have the courage to break boundaries.
Technology alone is not enough. Without enough experience, technology is just a means to eradicate dissidents. This is the difference between those with history and those without history. Civilizations without history will only choose the only successful experience, while civilizations with history will only choose the only successful experience.
Historical civilizations can choose the experiences they need based on actual conditions.
Zero is very supportive of Duran's idea. He also believes that it is important to leave experience to future generations. This is very important. Ultraman also has the practice of a master leading an apprentice, which is to hand over the master's experience to the apprentice. They
The important thing about this organization that supports backward civilization is that it leaves us with valuable experience, so that we can learn to break boundaries and learn how to deal with a changing world.
Therefore, Du Lan has always been against the protagonist. In fact, he is giving the protagonist different experiences and opening his eyes. This can be said to be a great merit.
