Chapter 551

"Next, let's talk about Greece and Persia. I believe that there is no doubt that Greece and Persia are in the stage of rapid development. Greece's magic is the best in the world. The development of philosophy, geometry, theoretical knowledge and technology has far exceeded that of any country. This is not boasting, but what has really happened in recent decades. "

Almost everyone nodded.

Su Ye continued: "it is certain that Persia is also developing at a high speed, but please note that the development of Persia is not in the same direction as that of Greece. The development of Greece is magic, philosophy, geometry, knowledge and technology, and Persia also makes efforts in this regard. However, Persia's resources are used in two places at most, one is war and the other is luxury goods. Then it is magic and knowledge. No one can deny this? "

Everyone agrees.

"War and territorial expansion can indeed bring wealth to the country, and war can also vigorously promote technological innovation, but the problem is that with the continuous increase of investment in war, after reaching a certain limit, the more investment in war, the final benefit is gradually decreasing. For the simplest example, when we have only 100 golden eagles all over our body, we will be very happy to earn a new 100 golden eagles in a month. This is a typical low consumption and high development. But when we have 100 million golden eagles, we spend a month to earn 100 golden eagles. We will lift the table and curse, because this is a typical high consumption and low development. "

Everyone smiled and nodded. This metaphor is very vivid.

"Not much about luxury. Persia is extravagant all over the country. Their excellent magicians and craftsmen spend their energy on making gemstones and gold and silver jewelry, but what about us Greeks? We are making new living appliances, we are studying new paper, we are developing navigation technology, and we are exploring the sky, the stars, the sea, philosophy, magic and technology. After a long time of accumulation, these areas of explosive growth are bound to appear. "

"Moreover, there are gods. There has been no large-scale internal struggle between our Greek city states for many years, and the internal consumption has been reduced to the lowest."

"To sum up, Greece is a country with low consumption and high development, while Persia is a country with high consumption and high development. Now, let me ask you, in the long run, will the future belong to Persia or Greece? "

"Greece!"

Warm applause rang out in the conference hall.

Clemela whispered, "miss Suye is great."

Palos gently nodded her head and wanted to continue. She suddenly stopped, raised her head and glanced at Su Ye secretly.

Su Ye smiled and said, "I can only say that from this point of view and in this way, the future belongs to Greece, but if from another point of view, the result is not necessarily. Even, Greece is in the stage of "low consumption and high development", and the future belongs to Greece. However, if one day, some countries surpass Greece, such as Rome or northern Europe, their consumption is lower than Greece, and their development is faster than Greece, because consumption development is relative, Greece will become a country with high consumption and low development, then the future belongs to a new country. "

"Good, very good. You showed us the courage of young people and the wisdom of magicians. So, let's continue to discuss the most heated question just now. What should we do with Persia? Is it a full-scale confrontation or a reduction of confrontation, abandoning some interests and making concessions? " Asked Clarence.

Su Ye was embarrassed.

The teachers laughed. The discussion just now was the most intense in the audience.

Those who support a full-scale confrontation almost scold those who support concessions as traitors, slaves and kneeling people.

The people who support concessions almost scold the people who fight all-round as fools and brainless barbarians.

If Lars hadn't stopped, both sides would have yelled.

"Come on, if you don't answer, you'll fail in ten subjects this year." Larens smiled and muttered.

The teachers laughed.

Su Ye looked at niden angrily. He learned from you.

Niederon's face is calm. It's none of my business?

"I've seen your point of view. Say it." Niederon is determined to sell his teammates.

"Oh? You already have an opinion? Tell me! " Aristotle was curious.

In this meeting, Aristotle did not speak. When people saw that even he spoke, they were more curious about Su Ye.

Su ye said reluctantly, "before answering this question, I'll ask the two people who had the most heated quarrel just now. Mr. Gregory, you are the main war faction. So, what are you fighting against Persia for? "

"Of course, it's to defeat Persia. Persia is immortal, and Greece can never be strong." Gregory road.

"Well, then, Mr. cadelius, you said that while fighting, in order to preserve Greece, you can sacrifice some interests to yield and seek peace. Then, what is your purpose of seeking peace from Persia?"

"As I said before, in order to accumulate strength, look for opportunities and finally defeat Persia. You can't lose everything on impulse. " Cadelius road.

Su Ye nodded and said, "then I'll be straight. I think people on both sides of the opposition are right, but they also ignore a very important issue. "

"What the two sides are concerned about is what the other side is' doing '. One side thinks that the other side is giving way. It naturally infers that the other side has no backbone and is suspected of surrender, and then pushes back, thinking that the other side is on the Persian side, which will eventually harm Greece and think that the other side is the enemy."

"The other side believes that those who support comprehensive confrontation are blind and stupid, because war can not solve the real problem, but will make the problem bigger and bigger. Naturally, the other side's behavior may drag Greece into an endless abyss and eventually harm Greece. It is also considered to be the enemy."

"The final result must be that both sides scold and even, in order to prove their right and wrong and hostile to each other, they forget that our common enemy is Persia outside."

The crowd was silent.

Su Ye continued: "I am different from both sides. I don't pay attention to 'what the two sides are doing'. I don't push back. I first pay attention to 'why the two sides are doing this'. Then why are the two sides sitting here discussing it? To protect Greece! To make Greece better! That's strange. Both of you think the other is harming Greece, but I think both of you are protecting Greece? If you think about it carefully, is the other party here to harm Greece or help Greece? "

The chamber was silent.

"Indeed, both sides are helping Greece, and I almost fell into it just now." Lars sighed.

Some people nodded gently.

Su ye said, "that is to say, when judging each other, the two sides use the wrong inference order, first look at the surface, then deduce a wrong reason from the outside to the inside, and finally nail the other side to the wrong sin wall. But I or a few people, first look for the reason directly, and then get the final result from the inside out. We think in different order, resulting in the opposite result. "

"That's good. I'll write it down carefully. That's what you said... Positive sequence logic, isn't it?" Euclid carefully recorded.

The golden mages were stunned, took a look at the holy domain masters who were recording, and took out the magic book records one after another.

Most of the silver magicians recorded carefully, but a few were stunned and confused.

After a while, Lars looked at the people and asked, "so, do you think we should fight all-round, or retreat at the same time?"

"The problem can never be solved at the level where the problem occurs. We must break through this level and find a way to solve the problem from a deeper level. For the simplest example, we feel itchy. Just scratch it. However, if we often itch and spend a lot of time tickling every day, what will be the result? It must have made the skin red and broken, but it still can't solve the "itch". If we only blame our body for itching, or only blame ourselves for scratching wrong, we will never solve the problem. What would we actually do? We will break through the "itch" on the surface, make sure it is a "disease", and then ask a doctor for help. After treatment, we got well and stopped itching and scratching. "

"Itching is the level at which the problem occurs, and scratching is the solution to the level at which the problem occurs, but this method can not solve the problem. But we found that the deeper problem is' a certain disease ', and then we can solve the itch and solve the problem by treating the disease. "

"Using this principle, we look back and see that all the logic of the teachers on both sides is' Persia attacks us, how can we fight back against Persia ', that is, when the itch comes, we tickle. Remember when I first asked Gregory and cadelius? I added 'Persia' to the question. "

"I asked Mr. Gregory why we should attack Persia in an all-round way. His answer was, of course, to destroy Persia."

"I asked Mr. cadelius what the purpose of seeking peace from Persia was. His answer was to accumulate strength, find time and defeat Persia."

"It seems that there is no problem, but when I gave up Persia and we thought about 'why we sit here and discuss this', I said that everyone was to protect Greece, and everyone took it for granted. So why? "

"Because we are easily attracted by surface goals and forget to explore deep goals, we will never solve the problem."

"So, for the last time, what we really want to do when we participate in this meeting is to protect Greece or defeat Persia? Choose those who protect Greece to raise their left hand, and those who defeat Persia to raise their right hand. "

Larens took the lead in raising his left hand.

Then, most people raised their left hand, only a small number of people resolutely raised their right hand.

"Well, all those who raise their right hands, I can tell you the truth, you're tickling and don't want to cure. In other words, you think itching is the reason. You think solving itching is the purpose, but not the purpose. Just like the Persian invasion, it is only a representation, but you regard it as a reason. And take defeating Persia as the goal, but in fact, defeating Persia is only a means. Our real goal is not to defeat Persia, but to protect Greece and peace. The two seem the same, but they are very different. "

Some people looked unhappy.
