Zhuangzi's story is always a classic, and the story of the monkey in it is even more enduring.
The man who raised the monkey gave him three chestnuts in the morning and four chestnuts in the evening. The monkey was not happy, so he changed it to four chestnuts in the morning and three chestnuts in the evening, and the monkey was happy.
The story ends here, but it can actually be extended. The monkey's happiness will not last long, and soon the monkey owner will be asked to change to five chestnuts in the morning, two in the evening, and further six chestnuts in the morning and one in the evening.
In the end, there were seven in the morning and zero in the evening.
At this time, people who raise monkeys can either earn more chestnuts and continue to increase the number. Or they will be killed by the monkeys, and then the monkeys will fight each other. When the fighting reaches a certain level, everyone should not be in a hurry, nor be in a hurry, but just need to
Just stay alive.
In this way, a new monkey keeper will appear and propose to work all day and night, and the monkey will accept it. But soon the monkey will ask for day and night again...
Survival, safety, social interaction, respect, and self-realization. This is an endogenous need, and it is also a reincarnation. More and more social resources are consumed, and eventually you have to go back to the stage of just surviving and start over.
Unless chestnuts can be obtained continuously, but obviously this is impossible. The total number of chestnuts depends on the comprehensive strength of labor force and resource conversion ability. Labor force is limited, and so is the conversion ability.
Of course, the monkey is not wrong. After all, other monkeys are running wild, so wouldn’t you be at a disadvantage if you are running wild? The other monkeys have already taken seven in the morning, but if you don’t take it, what will you do if all the chestnuts are robbed? This is true.
In the chain of suspicion, no monkey is willing to take less for himself and win respect from other monkeys.
It is normal for you to have what others have.
Zhuangzi's story is just a short chapter, but history proves that Zhuangzi's story is the beginning, and the rest of the game will continue to cycle.
Even the lighthouse cannot escape this set of rules of the game. Shangmin has begun to wander around. As long as he can drink milk, eat bread and talk about love in the morning, it doesn't matter if he dies at night. And the common people are gradually starting to think about it.
Ask for more in the morning.
Once it starts, it can't be stopped.
Duran said that history is really ruthless and terrible. It is no wonder that the only thing humans can learn from studying history is that humans will not learn any lessons from history. Because human needs are improving step by step, and the resources they need are also increasing.
more.
Even suppressing it is useless, it cannot be suppressed at all. Unless it is caught in a war, everyone returns to the bottom of the ladder of needs, which is survival.
But once you settle down, you will continue to seek safety, social interaction, respect, and self-realization. All of these require social resources and are irresistible.
What everyone can do is to place the chestnuts in one direction, such as the direction of war. If you join the war, you will be given three chestnuts, and you can grab the remaining one outside. The number you grab counts as a few.
Another thing is that you can have four chestnuts in the morning, but I only give them to you because we have a good relationship. Then we took the chestnuts to suppress the people who only have three chestnuts, so that they will only take three chestnuts for the rest of their lives.
Of course, I also want to tell you that there are four chestnuts, but I will not give them to you easily. If you want four chestnuts, work hard, study hard, and create value. If you meet the requirements, you will naturally get four chestnuts. And then there are five more
The same goes for chestnuts. If you want to succeed, work harder. Three chestnuts, four, five, six, and seven chestnuts are divided into different classes. You must rely on your own ability to get chestnuts.
In fact, no matter which method is used, it is impossible to satisfy everyone, because everyone's needs are increasing, and no matter how many resources there are, they cannot be satisfied.
Seven chestnuts is not the limit. The monkeys will ask for as many resources as there are.
The seven chestnuts are just a metaphor for the total amount of resources. The total amount is limited and is a combination of labor and resource transformation capabilities. It cannot increase infinitely. You cannot divide the seven chestnuts directly. You must mobilize everyone through resources.
Those who do things, whether it is launching a plundering war, mobilizing everyone to climb the ladder, or maintaining advantages to suppress disadvantages.
From the end of the human race, the lighthouse only strives for survival. After decades of development, now the upper class people have begun to seek social interaction, but there are still many ordinary people who are still looking for safety.
But as long as ordinary people feel safe, they will naturally seek social interaction... Therefore, it cannot be said that Shangmin is a bad person. The blame can only be blamed on Lighthouse for not guiding Shangmin's needs and unifying Shangmin's needs with the development of Lighthouse.
, if Shangmin's needs are allowed to develop, in the end Shangmin will definitely choose a more comfortable option and focus on falling in love instead of how to develop in the end of the world.
As for whether the city lord deliberately did not do it, or whether the city lord has limited abilities and wanted to do it but couldn't do it, I don't know.
The guidance is also simple. It is actually rewards and punishments. Concentrate a wave of resources and provide an ascending path. Tell everyone that if you can make the lighthouse survive better, you will be rewarded. If you can't find a corpse, you will be punished.
Of course, if you really want to practice it, you also need to consider whether the people are willing to do it and whether the dust people have the ability. Otherwise, all the concentrated resources will be embezzled by his subordinates. However, the reputation of City Lord Morgan is good, and the key departments are all his people, as well as hunting wilderness.
Whoever disagrees with the squad and the city defense force can be purged, and the resources of the opponents can be snatched away and redistributed.
Then use the Church of Light and Shadow to let the superior people and dust people cooperate. Even if the dust people rise to take the place of the superior people, use the Lord of Light and Shadow to suppress the dissatisfaction of the superior people. The system and culture will be complete.
Moreover, Lord Morgan still has a great sense of survival. He does everything for survival. This is what resonates most with everyone.
When everyone's needs become different, the lighthouse should also change accordingly, so that everyone's needs can be bound to the development of the lighthouse.
If you do nothing, the result will be that everyone's needs are everywhere. You can fall in love today, become depressed tomorrow, and look for the meaning of life the day after tomorrow. You just don't take into account that there are still many ordinary people struggling to have enough food and clothing, and you don't take into account that mankind has not yet come out of the end.
Of course, if Lord Morgan really succeeds, he will inevitably be labeled as a tyrant. Because many residents are unwilling to think about the future of the lighthouse, they just want to fall in love. Once their abilities are tested, instead of just looking at genes, many residents will
The people have to be eliminated, and they will definitely not want to, and they will definitely become public officials and madly slap the blame on the Lord Morgan.
Of course, these are all far-fetched. City Lord Morgan has not done it at all, and the upper people are not dissatisfied. Now the pressure has come to 9527. With the harvest of surface resources, the ordinary people have gradually begun to have new needs.
Dulan suggested that 9527 tie the needs of dust people to the survival of all dust people, and let those who get the resources to fight for the future of all dust people. If they can't do it, they will be eliminated directly.
9527 thought to himself, would he, the boss, also have to fight for all the common people? If he couldn't do it, would he also be eliminated?
Now comes the question that every leader has to face: Should he protect his own position or protect the entire force? Should he protect his position as the boss, or should he ensure that the common people can continue to develop?
Regarding this situation, 9527 is also very entangled. After all, once the endogenous needs are really bound to the future of ordinary people, then he will also become a part of the rules of the game. If he wants to drink and eat meat, he must comply with the rules of the game.
.
The previous rules of the game were that whoever controls the resources is the boss. If it is changed, it will not only be based on the amount of resources, but also how everyone uses the resources. If you use resources for all the mortals, you will be the boss. If you use resources for yourself, you will be eliminated.
To preserve the natural principles and eliminate human desires, what remains is the natural principles of efficient use of resources, and what is eliminated is the human desires of those who control the resources.
