Chapter 327

Crimela suddenly opened her small cherry lips slightly, as if she understood something.

Su Ye smiled and said, "yes, I broke through the limitation of 'inside the battle' and found a 'first principle' that can achieve my goal outside the battle. This method may be useless to others, not applicable to everyone, will be opposed by many people, and may not even be applicable to me in the future. However, for me now, it is the supreme method of battle. This supreme method is very simple, that is, before fighting, try your best to accumulate strength, including learning magic, improving status, getting the attention of masters, making friends, building business alliances, exchanging money for magic tools, strengthening your own magic, and so on. Then, with strong strength, defeat any enemy in the battle. "

"I like this supreme method," said clemela, with wide eyes. Moreover, from your way of thinking, it seems that you can summarize another method or thinking, that is, if you want to solve something, you can not only be limited to it, but also jump out. For example, you clearly want to find a supreme fighting method, but you find it outside the battle. In this way, it seems that it can also be regarded as the "first principle" in a certain field. "

Su Ye smiled and said, "your sharpness and wisdom are amazing. This concept is called subversive innovation. For example, ancient humans could only collect wild food, but some sages jumped out of the scope of "collection" and began to "plant". Some sages jumped out of the scope of 'hunting' and completed 'breeding'. "

There are many examples of subversive innovation in Su Ye's mind. From Euclidean geometry to non Euclidean geometry, from classical mechanics to quantum mechanics, from carriage to fuel vehicle, from fuel vehicle to electric vehicle, they all directly jump out of some limitations in the original field and are subversive innovation.

"I understand that in the field of 'innovation', this subversive innovation can be regarded as a 'first principle'. Of course, this is only the first principle in the field of innovation, and others can find their own first principle in the field of innovation. " Said kremela.

Su Ye lamented that the girl was so clever and continued, "what you said is very correct. In fact, we are inseparable from the generalized first principle at any time. To take the simplest example, there are two mothers who have children. However, in the field of "taking care of children", the two people's first principle is different. One mother believes that it is most important to try her best to protect her children, that is, the first principle of her love for her children is "protection". Another mother believes that it is more important for her children to get appropriate setbacks and exercise, that is, the first principle of her love for children is' exercise '. "

"Well, because the two mothers follow different first principles, they treat their children very differently. By extension, there are one or more "first principles" in each of us. This first principle governs our language, action and thinking, and ultimately determines everything we do. "

"I've always liked to say to myself that if my language, action and thinking were right, I would have been a top person in my field, but I'm not a top master in the magic world. Then I must have done something bad. What is not good enough? I haven't found a better "first principle" in every field. Even if I've heard of this "first principle", I haven't followed it. Therefore, my speech, behavior, thinking and ability are not good enough. Therefore, I'm not the top master in the magic world. "

"I'm a little confused." Said kremela.

"This is a very profound theory, but it seems very simple. We can almost immediately understand the sentence 'there is a first principle in every field', and we will mistakenly think we understand it. In fact, with the deepening of our thinking, we will find ourselves more and more confused. However, if we continue to think, think and practice, We'll really understand. If anyone thinks he can fully understand it at first sight, either his brain avoids tired thinking and habitually deceives himself, or he has really mastered the first principle and changed the world like master Socrates and master Plato. I'm glad you didn't understand, because you can recognize yourself. " Suye road.

"How can we fully understand the first principle?" Asked chimera.

"With the theme of 'first principles', write a book that you can understand and others can understand. Then, this means that you really understand, understand and master the first principles." Suye road.

"Do you fully understand the first principle?" There was a glimmer in the girl's eyes.

"I only recently discovered the concept of the first principle. If I'm arrogant, I can master it in about ten years. If I were modest, I might spend my whole life learning. "

"So, how to learn and master the first principle?" Asked chimera.

Su Ye smiled and said, "after finishing the basic concept of the first principle, we need to learn how to use the first principle. The first principle has several major learning points. The first point is that "truth governs truth". Don't use truth to govern truth. In other words, we should use truth as the first principle, not those general principles we all say. "

"Can you give me an example?" Said kremela.

"When we make alchemy or magic medicine, it seems that we put all the materials into the container, which is similar to cooking. Can we say that alchemy and magic medicine are cooking?" Su ye asked.

"It sounds reasonable. It sounds similar, but I don't think I can say so."

"Yes, the reason is very simple. In this wrong statement, we only extract 'similarity' or 'identity', ignore 'difference' and 'difference', and ignore the great difference in essence. If we always use general principles to explain phenomena, we will always fall into the "understand trap" and miss the truth. We can connect 'truth' and 'truth' to facilitate memory and learning, but we should learn to distinguish. "

"The first point to be extended is that we 'better' use the solid theory of basic disciplines as our first principle, rather than using the common sayings and principles in life as our first principle." Suye road.

"Can you give an example?" Said kremela.

Su Ye smiled and said, "well, you didn't say you understood, and you didn't feel embarrassed to ask questions."

"For example, we need to find a first principle for the 'learning field'. It is found that there are classification methods in Botany, and usually we place things and classify them. Then, we should choose a more systematic classification method in botany rather than a classification method in life as our first principle. "

"For another example, 'equivalent exchange' is the foundation of alchemy, but our daily trading seems to be an equivalent exchange with similarities. If we want to choose the first principle between the two, we must choose the equivalent exchange in alchemy instead of buying and selling in life. "

"I still don't understand why similar things can't be replaced? I understand this, but I don't understand why. " Said kremela.

Su ye thought for a moment and said slowly, "everyone looks at this truth from different angles. My point of view is that since we want to choose a road, should we choose a road that changes in length, width and landform at any time, or a grand avenue that remains unchanged for a long time?"

"The latter." Said kremela.

"If we choose a guiding light, should we choose a light that is bright and dark, sometimes large, sometimes small and sometimes absent, or a stable, bright, constant and clear light?"

"The latter." Said kremela.

"Then, you can find that trading in the market changes, even losing money and selling at high prices. There is no real measurement standard. However, in alchemy, equivalent exchange is irrefutable at present or even for a long time. Then, the concept of equivalent exchange in alchemy is more like the Grand Avenue and the eternal light. " Suye road.

"The question is, how do we determine that our own first principle must be a Grand Avenue and an eternal light?" Said kremela.

Su Ye stood up and said, "it's impossible to be sure. Even if the solid theories of various disciplines may change and be subverted, the solid theories of basic disciplines are 'relatively' closer to the truth than other theories and principles. Since there is something closer to the truth, why should we choose something far from the truth? Just because things far from the truth are close to us and easy to get, do we give up the pursuit of 'more truth'

Clemela was silent for a long time and her eyes jumped.

Su Ye continued: "the second key point of the first principle is to 'pay attention to the applicable boundary'. Each first principle can cover a limited field."

"Each of us has many fields. Take myself as an example, there are magic fields, learning fields, business fields, social fields, life fields, thinking fields... And so on. Take the social field as an example. This field needs to be subdivided, such as' family communication ',' school communication ',' work communication ', etc. in addition, it can continue to be subdivided according to different communication objects. The reason to subdivide is that it is difficult for us to communicate with everyone in the same way. "

"Let me cite a mistake that everyone can make. When I was in lion harbor, I met a little boss. The little boss found that if he treated those workers well, they would cheat and play tricks. However, if he was fierce and often intimidated, those workers would be obedient. For example, when a worker was asked to do something, he threatened to reduce his pay if he didn't do it well, and beat him if he didn't do it well. He always spoke to the workers in a threatening tone. He always went well. Then he was complacent and even preached that he had found a good way to manage the workers, believing that it could solve all problems. Well, his intimidating thinking when "communicating with workers" is his first principle. "

"Then I found something that surprised me. He even treated his wife and son in a "threatening" way. His wife and children were often frightened by him. Later, his children grew up and began to resist him. He is not a person with enough wisdom. He doesn't understand reflection. He won't think about why. He just feels that what he does is effective for workers and everything. He is not wrong. It must be children. As a result, his son ran away from home and was killed by the stolen regiment. "

"When he was in despair, he clashed with a bronze warrior, so he intimidated the other party. As a result, the bronze soldier was annoyed by him, smashed his shop, often harassed others, and finally let him go bankrupt. It sounds incredible when we say it. In fact, everyone is making similar mistakes. "

"We can't communicate with different people in the same way, that is, we can't control all fields with one first principle." Suye road.

After thinking for a while, chimera said, "I probably understand what you mean. However, there seems to be something else behind this point, infinite segmentation, and there seems to be something hidden. "

"Well, you are indeed the spiritual follower of the masters. Divide the big field into the middle field, the middle field into the small field, and the small field into the micro field. Continue to subdivide it to the extent that it is inseparable. For each field, we should use different thinking, behavior or language to find their own "first principles". This method is especially suitable for 'single field'. For example, if a person only studies "life prolonging drugs" in his life, he can use this method to study life prolonging drugs to the extreme. What do you think of this method? Please answer, classmate clemela. " Su Ye smiled.

"Atomism!" Answered chimera happily.

"Yes! This theory of continuous decomposition is based on "atomism", but through atomism, it refines a kind of thinking behind master Democritus, which is called "reductionism". Reductionism is a thinking of infinite division. "

"The first principle, in some respects, is exactly the opposite of reductionism. It is not to pursue finer and deeper, but to pursue higher and fewer directions. For example, if we want to do a good job in the 'social field', I don't need to consider how many categories there are and how many situations there are. I just need to find one or several minority supreme methods, one or several minority constant thinking, and deal with everyone under the guidance of these thinking. Some people say it's impossible. I'll say it's difficult, but I'll try to pursue it! For example, in the social field, 'win-win thinking' may be a first principle. "

"I like what you said. In addition, I admit my mistake to you. From now on, there is no "impossible" in my world, only "I will learn." Clemela is like a cheerful bird.

Her smile and bright eyes completely cover up the birthmark on her face.

Su Ye smiled and said, "the first principle itself is a first principle, and reductionism is also a first principle."

Clemela ran the whole sentence through her mind, thought, and nodded hard.

"I understand."

"The third key point of the first principle is to use it continuously and repeatedly. Only by using it continuously and attentively can we really master it and turn it into our ability. Many people will feel that the process of hard work is very bitter, but why not imagine the sweetness after completion? "

"Your words are like the North Star guiding the way and the thunder of the king of God." Clemela's eyes were as bright as stars.

Su Ye smiled and said, "this is the law I got after studying the experiences of countless masters and sages: they are very lucky to find a strong first principle from childhood, believe it deeply, and then always follow their first principle. Finally, they achieve transcendence and shine all over the world. I may not be lucky enough. I have been ordinary since childhood. However, as long as I find my first principle and keep doing it, I may not be extraordinary, but I will be infinitely close to the extraordinary and far surpass the original me. "

"You are lucky and wise." Clemela's eyes were burning.

"We are all lucky. The only difference between us in the future is to accept this luck or throw it away." Suye road.

"Because you shine, I have held it firmly!" Clemela clenched her little fist.

"What a good boy." Su Ye smiled.

With her eyes wandering like a river, she whispered, "you are only sixteen years old, only four years older than me."

Su Ye was stunned, smiled, pointed to the line on the blackboard and said, "the first principle is the content of my first class, the first class I dreamed of when I was a middle school student, and the first class of my dream life. It's a pity that no one told me the first principle in the first class of my life, but since then, there's no regret. "

Clemela stares at Suye.

"This is the luckiest day of my life. I am sure that Aristotle, not even master Plato or master Socrates, cannot give me such an important first lesson in life. From now on, you will be my eternal teacher. " Clemela's crisp voice was full of determination.

Su Ye smiled and didn't say anything, but he stood on the shoulders of countless giants, far beyond this era. Even Aristotle, who determined the "first principle", was only pursuing the only, eternal and supreme "first principle" in heaven and earth, and did not really expand the first principle. The first principle of later generations is more flourishing than Aristotle's first principle.

After a while, clemela asked, "teacher Su ye, is there an ultimate first principle that is more essential than the essence of magic, the only essence and the only first principle of all the world?" Su ye thought for a moment and said, "first of all, we can believe that there is the ultimate first principle in this world, and we can even keep pursuing it." Chimera nodded hard“ Secondly, you should remember the fourth point of learning the first principle: "recognize multiple possibilities, maintain multiple perspectives, believe in all changes, and allow opposites to exist.". We allow, believe, or pursue the ultimate first principle, but we should also believe that there may be more than one ultimate first principle in this world. " Su Ye smiles. Clemela mused.
