Since ancient Greece defeated Troy and snatched the first pot of gold, it has fallen into a period of competition between Athens and Sparta to be the leader of the alliance.
During this period, both Athens and Sparta made efforts, with Athens favoring civil reforms and Sparta favoring military reforms. However, after the two Persian Wars, they both fell silent, while Macedonia in the north rose and became the new leader.
After Macedonia became the leader of the alliance, under the leadership of Alexander, it penetrated the Persian Empire in ten years.
Therefore, the Greek city-states have never stopped and have been competing for the position of leader.
In addition to the battles between city-states, tyrants and citizens are also constantly fighting within the city-state. It is very confusing whether the tyrants or the citizens are the leaders. This period was also the era of Socrates, Plato, and Aristotle. In fact,
Their philosophy is to think about whether they are tyrants or citizens.
A tyrant is a leader elected by the citizens, who is actually a king.
It is equivalent to the relationship between Yin merchants and King Zhou. King Zhou was elected by Yin merchants, but King Zhou wanted to bring benefits to Yin merchants on the one hand, and suppressed Yin merchants on the other.
The main reason why Athens declined was that the citizens had the ability to vote out the tyrants. But they forgot that whoever expanded the scope of citizens was the tyrant.
Only the tyrant can determine a direction, otherwise the citizens cannot be unified at all. The citizens of Athens are divided into three places: the plains, the highlands, and the seaside. They all work for their own benefit. Without a unified leader, it is impossible to reconcile the contradictions among the three.
There was no way to reconcile them, so Athens would soon be unable to defeat the Spartans.
Socrates lived in an era when Athens was changing from prosperity to decline, and experienced the era when Athens was at its strongest, so he believed that the civil system was the best, so he defended the civil system to his death.
Plato lived during the period of decline of Athens, so he left Athens and traveled around to promote his ideas, but no one used him. He returned to Athens and wrote "The Republic". The core discussion was justice, and whether justice should be in the hands of tyrants.
Or in the hands of citizens, what he meant was 'tmd, how did Athens become like this?'. He wanted to find a way to revive Athens. Is he a tyrant or a citizen? But loyalty does not mean absolute disloyalty. He
We can't offend citizens, so we can only beat around the bush and make insinuations.
By the time Aristotle arrived, Athens was no longer what it once was, and Sparta was also a thing of the past. He lived in the era of Macedonia, and his student was Alexander, a fierce man who defeated Persia in ten years. However, after Alexander died, he was
The Athenian citizens suppressed by Macedon immediately displayed their traditional skills and prepared to kill Aristotle.
At this time, Aristotle no longer cared about the Athenian citizenship system, so he greased his feet and slipped away.
The mental journey of these three people is a bit like Confucius, Mencius, and Xunzi.
Confucius believed that the Zhou rites were the best, and he could sacrifice himself to defend the Zhou rites. Mencius believed that whether the Zhou rites were good or not depended on whether they were virtuous, and those who were virtuous would defeat those who were not. Xunzi believed that the Zhou rites were historical garbage and had long been
It should be thrown away.
Ancient Greece was such a big place, but the games between people never stopped. The relationships between city-states, between citizen factions, between citizens and tyrants, between ancient Greece and Persia, Macedonia, etc. were all small and powerful.
, Chi Qian tortoise.
Now at the end of the world, the various survivor camps of mankind are city-states. Some city-states are military-oriented, some city-states are citizen-oriented, and of course some city-states are biased toward kings.
Can city-states cooperate? Yes, but not necessarily.
Just like Athens and Sparta, the two small city-states separated and merged, and never stopped. Both sides were brilliant, but they soon declined, while outside, Persia, Macedonia, Rome, Germania, and Ottoman were changing with each passing day.
You finished singing and I came on stage, and the last two city-states were washed away by the torrent of history.
Jingnan believes that since there are survivors on the surface and even in space, all survivors should be united.
But the city defense captain thought it was difficult because humans are too complex.
The ancient Greeks cooperated once when they robbed Troy, twice during the Persian War, and once when Macedonia was the leader. These were only four times in hundreds of years. Most of the time they were fighting among themselves.
.Athens was fighting within itself, and it was also fighting with Sparta.
Internal fighting is the main theme and cannot stop at all.
Jingnan feels that the idea she proposed is right. If humans unite, this power may not be ineffective. But the question is why unite? Can she give a possibility that uniting will win? If not, everyone must first
Take care of yourself and make sure you can survive first.
Unity is too risky.
Jing Nan is very sad. The reason for sadness is not because her plan is not recognized, but because she knows that they are right. Human cooperation is difficult, very difficult. In the final analysis, it is because of human nature and the despicability of human beings.
If humans were more noble, many problems would become non-issues.
This is definitely true. As long as human beings are more noble and some people sacrifice themselves to solve social problems, then society will prosper.
So here comes the question, what are people with this idea waiting for? Why don’t you start being noble from yourself? Why wait for others to be noble and wait for others to solve the problem?
Most people are like this. They curse when they see a problem. When a task is actually assigned to them, they curse even louder.
Because solving problems requires a price, no one wants to pay the price. Everyone wants others to solve the problem and enjoy the dividends themselves.
It is common to have such an idea, and naturally it is impossible to cooperate.
"If you want to unite the city-states outside, it's better to unite the common people first, lower the food for the common people to a higher level, and then let the common people and the common people accept a consensus." Du Lan said that Jingnan has many ideas, but he only has ideas.
But it’s no use, we have to sort out the internal strife in the lighthouse first.
Now the superior people have the interests of the superior people, the secular people have the interests of the secular people, and the religions have the interests of religions. Each has its own management system, just like the three major factions in Athens, the mountains, the plains, and the seaside. Each has its own demands. Basically
No consensus can be reached.
Once there was no consensus, Athens could not exert its power and quickly declined.
In the past, the consensus of lighthouses was to survive, but after decades, it is obvious that many people no longer feel the pressure of survival, and their needs have changed.
Now it would be nice if a consensus of 'victory' could be given, but the problem is that it cannot be given. No one who has seen the restricted area with their own eyes would think that humans can win. But it is difficult to return to the consensus of survival. After all, Shangmin cannot
There is no need to worry about food and drink, and there is no urgent pressure to survive.
If there is no consensus, then come to a king. The king's order is everything. Let the superior people eat insect cakes and eat insect cakes. Let the superior people and ordinary people be treated the same. Milk and bread are only given to those who have meritorious service. Create a military meritorious official.
Of course, in the eyes of Shangmin, this man must be a tyrant, extremely violent.
If there is no consensus and no king, then there will only be constant internal strife. Like Athens, the lighthouse will become more and more rigid and can only maintain the status quo, making it difficult to make a difference.
Jingnan's idea is good, but the current environment obviously has no basis for unity. Unity also requires legality. Without consensus and the basis of a king, it is more naive than Confucius' self-denial and restoration of etiquette to fulfill the obligations and rights of unity only by consciously.
.
Of course, Duran feels that it is indeed necessary to unite. After all, if it is really done, it will also be a hymn to mankind and compose a good story.
So he felt it was necessary to contact Jingnan: "We Chenmin support things that Shangmin does not support. We Chenmin do things that Shangmin cannot do. Human hymns are composed by Chenmin, and Chenmin is history.
The writer." Du Lan fiercely fed the common people chicken soup and asked them to agree to talk to Jing Nan.
Indeed, there were many young people whose blood boiled with enthusiasm after what Dulan said, and they felt as if their blood was about to be ignited.
