Chapter 451 (1/2)
The key to this kind of thing is the right to explain. For example, the saying ”repay evil with good” is usually understood as the principle of human life: Confucius taught us that when others bully you, we should use love to influence him, use our hearts to contain him, and we should serve others with virtue!
But in fact, Confucius was opposed to ”repay resentment with virtue.” Confucius said, ”repay resentment with honesty, repay virtue with virtue.” That is to say, when others treat you with virtue, you need to repay others with virtue. But if you treat you with resentment, you need to repay resentment directly, that is, eye for eye, tooth for tooth.
The reason why Confucius' words were misinterpreted was the need of the feudal rulers. They hoped that the people would become obedient to the people who ”repay the people with virtue”. Only the people who ”repay the people with virtue” would honestly obey their rule. When the emperor is cruel, he should ”requite the good for the evil”, the landlord exploitation and ”requite the good for the evil”. When the Allied forces of the eight powers arrive in Beijing, they should still ”requite the evil for the good”, make every effort to show their ”Virtue” and ”measure the material resources of China and build the hearts of the great powers”.
Now that the earth civilization has entered the interstellar age, ideas should also be changed. How to change? Of course, it is in line with the needs of the rulers, that is, according to the needs of Zhang Wei and others, to reinterpret the traditional ideas and put forward some new ideas for most people to accept.
Is this a difficult process? It's not difficult. For example, China's reform and opening up over three decades has lifted more than 600 million people out of poverty, which will be considered irrelevant to the progress of human rights. The massive invasion of Iraq by the United States has killed at least 100000 civilians and displaced millions of civilians. The massive human rights violations in the 21st century are regarded as the defense of human rights. For example, Europe interpreted the greedy plunder of colonialism and imperialism as the spread of modern civilization. Why does this happen? The reason is very simple. Western countries have been in a strong position for nearly two or three hundred years, and their discourse has naturally occupied a dominant position.
At Zhang Wei's request, the eternal country has launched a new round of ideological wave with a simple purpose: to ”brainwash” the general public.
In the Korn ferry region, the pan Korn ferry alliance and robots are fighting, while the Korn ferry Socialist Republic and the Korn ferry Federal Republic are recovering.
Unconsciously, another decade has passed.
In the past ten years, the situation of Korn ferry area has become worse and worse. Although pan Korn ferry alliance has an advantage in the war with robots, it has never been able to completely eliminate robots. As long as a robot lurks on a certain planet, it will soon pull out a large army, which makes pan Korn ferry alliance feel very headache. In contrast, the Korn ferry Socialist Republic and the Korn ferry Federal Republic have become a paradise, free from wars, rebellious robots and rich life. Such a good life has attracted a large number of people from the pan brilliance alliance to immigrate here, which has entered the explosive development stage, and its strength is gradually approaching the pan brilliance alliance.
As for the eternal country, it is still developing rapidly at the speed of envy and jealousy of all subordinate civilizations, with great changes every year in territory, population and technology.
Especially the development of science and technology surprised Zhang Wei.
Thanks to the welfare of the population, the number of scientists in the eternal country has exceeded 10 billion. Although they are not as talented as Einstein and other great scientists, they are better than Einstein in many aspects by virtue of the biological computer implanted in the brain. With so many powerful scientists, the development of science will surely be rapid.
