Mark has never thought about how to make everyone accept something. He thinks that if it is good for everyone, everyone will naturally accept it.
Really?
If parents want their children to study for the sake of their own good, will their children be happy? If teachers want their children to take exams for their own good, will their children be willing to do so? For the sake of their children's interests, will their grandparents let their children wear autumn clothes, autumn trousers, coats and cotton-padded jackets? Will their children be willing to do so?
Obviously the child is not willing. What the child needs is happiness, relaxation and handsomeness, which is completely different from the progress, success and health required by the elders.
It’s for everyone’s benefit, but everyone may not accept it.
At this time, Lao Tzu proposed doing nothing but doing everything, which is to teach everyone to obey nature when doing things and not to let others have a rebellious mentality, so that you can get twice the result with half the effort.
Once others have a rebellious mentality, they will achieve twice the result with half the effort.
Lao Tzu believes that the highest state of doing things is to follow the Tao naturally, that is, to be accepted by others naturally. But this highest state is difficult, so the "Tao Te Ching" is often regarded as a kind of strategy.
How to prevent people from being rebellious is to not let them know in advance. This forms a conspiracy.
Because let them know in advance, there must be some people who can accept it, and some people will object. It is impossible to follow the natural way every time. Therefore, my idea is to analyze the specific situation, and the natural way sometimes works, and sometimes it just doesn't work.
It is difficult to completely match what one person wants to accomplish and whether another person is willing to accept it. Therefore, Taoism is naturally useful sometimes and sometimes not. But Lao Tzu's idea is indeed the highest state of doing things, which everyone can pursue.
, but it cannot be forced.
Mark was thinking about the past of City Lord Morgan, and felt that many of the City Lord's actions did make people rebellious, especially to the people. At first, it might have been out of survival, and everyone accepted it, but later on, the rebellious mentality became more and more common.
Looking at the division of the upper people and the rise of the dust people now, all kinds of thoughts came to him, making him at a loss. It was clear that there was a terrible strong wind outside, and mankind was already standing on the edge of crisis, but mankind was still divided.
Unable to unite, he felt very sad: "Donnie, is there nothing we can do?"
"Yes, I have many ways, but humans don't have time." Dulan said that there are many ways, but apart from brainwashing, there is no good way to make humans cooperate immediately, and there is not enough time to implement: "
Sometimes it’s like this. It’s not that we can’t see the problem, or that we don’t know how to correct it, but that we run out of time.”
"Is humanity really going to perish?" Mark has always been very optimistic, but at this time he couldn't help but feel suffocated. He couldn't help but think, would it be better if humans studied Mana ecology earlier and found ways to coexist or evolve earlier?
It's a pity that there is no if, the current situation is so urgent, he asked: "Is there really no other way? Humanity has gone through so much, and there have been many crises before, and we will definitely find a way this time."
Dulan looked at the other party and said: "There is indeed a way, that is, we and the enemy are of the same origin, and humans are completely integrated with the pole-devouring beasts. When the time comes, use human life essence to control the pole-devouring beasts and give up the human body. Are you willing?
?”
"Is that person still a human?"
"It's time again for the classic series about what is a human being? Why is a human being defined as a human being? Is the body a human being? Is it the emotions a human being? Is the brain memory a human being? Or is the source of life a human being? In the past, humans did an experiment, and scientists and murderers
The brains were swapped, and finally the scientist's body plus the murderer's memory, and the murderer's body plus the scientist's memory. Although it was good at first, the murderer's body soon had an impact on the scientist's memory, which in turn reversed the murderer's memory.
Memory has also been affected by scientists. They have all changed, so humans have come to the conclusion that the brain does not determine a person's identity. It really determines who you are, who he is, and who I am, and is the source of life."
"So as long as the source of life remains unchanged, it doesn't matter what the body and brain become, humans will still be humans."
Mark thought about what Duran had said before about human evolution, and thought about Duran saying that maintaining lighthouses might hinder human evolution. Now he heard Duran say that human beings should have the same origin as the polar beast, abandon the body and brain, and only retain
The source of life. He simply could not imagine what human beings would become once it was implemented.
To be honest, he was very scared. He had had nightmares before. When he and Ran Bing were chatting, Ran Bing suddenly turned into a beast and bit him.
Of course, it might not be a bite, but a kiss. But it was so ugly that it led to misunderstanding.
If Ran Bing turns into an ugly pole-devouring beast, will he still love her? When humans give up their bodies and brains and only retain the essence of life, even if they are still humans, human civilization and aesthetics need to be re-established
, the feeling is completely different.
Will he fall in love with the Devouring Beast? Mark shuddered.
Dulan saw Mark's thoughts at a glance and thought that his imagination was really rich. However, the aesthetic reconstruction was indeed very difficult and took a lot of time.
"You don't have to be too entangled, because we and the enemy have the same origin." Dulan calmly made a splash.
"Ah?" Mark was stunned, obviously not expecting Duran to say that.
"Some mortals have completed the mutation, but they are still undergoing training and have not experienced actual combat. One is to have the organs of the Extreme Devouring Hand implanted, and the other is to be bitten by the mutated Extreme Devouring Beast. Both methods of mutation are
It has been implemented, and now there are thirty boys and girls from the mortal world who have mutated. Even if the lighthouse is destroyed, they can still exist as human seeds. Since there is no time for the lighthouse to unite, preserving the human seeds is the only way to do it.
It's a big deal." Dulan had prepared the seeds, so he didn't mind watching the excitement.
Mark was a little confused. Donnie's efficiency in doing things was too fast. He was not mentally prepared and asked blankly: "Is it true or not?"
"Why did I lie to you?"
"Then why didn't you tell me earlier? And where did the technology come from?"
"Do nothing but do everything." Dulan said that of course he did it quietly without letting others know. Dulan knew very well that he could not achieve the highest state of Lao Tzu's "Tao follows nature", so he took the route of conspiracy.
, just enter the village quietly and don’t want to shoot anyone.
Mark opened his mouth, not knowing what to say. If Downey was exposed in advance, there would definitely be objections, but he did it quietly and compressed the objections to a very small range, and he was able to succeed.
"I feel like you are trying to trick me, saying that you should do nothing but do everything. In fact, it is just to pave the way for us and the enemy to share the same origin." Mark said.
Duran smiled and said: "It doesn't matter. As long as there are seeds, humans can survive in the Mana ecosystem. Even if the lighthouse falls, there will be no problem."
"Let me ask another question, isn't the monster under the lighthouse also your work?" Mark asked.
"This is a body made of flesh and soil. It can move after being injected with the source of life." Duran said.
"Where does the source of life come from?"
"The people who died on the lighthouse did not actually disappear, their life essence was reused. For example, Charles is now in the body of the monster, and he is willing to be a coward, which can be regarded as allowing him to continue to contribute to mankind," Duran said.
: "As for where the technology comes from, of course it is the technology of previous humans. I found it from the surface of the earth."
Mark also often goes to the surface, and he doesn't think that such incredible technology can be found on the surface.
Regardless of whether Mark believed it or not, Duran believed it anyway.
In fact, humans in the old world did not master the power of the essence of life, but this is the general trend. In the new version, all beings that cannot use the power of the essence of life will be eliminated.
