Simon heard Philip's question and nodded without hesitation: "of course."
Everyone is all ears again.
Simon combed his mind and said, "first of all, even if we think we are one head higher than all species on the planet, there is no objection that humans are colony creatures, right?"
Several people around didn't know why, but they still nodded.
Simon said: "in nature, colony creatures are not just us, from ants to wolves. And all these colony creatures have a very distinctive feature. Do you know what it is?"
At the table.
James and Carol looked at each other and didn't speak. The other two young men were seriously considering their appearance. Soon, Philip subconsciously said, "class."
Nora looked at her boyfriend and turned to Simon.
Simon shrugged and smiled. "It's obviously a less pleasant word, isn't it?"
The two young people nodded together, reacted, and felt inappropriate, but there was no explanation.
Simon said: "the problem is that this is exactly a key to solving the problems of human society. Just like the most typical ant colony, the clear division of labor, queen ants, worker ants, soldier ants and so on, orderly cycle their mission, so it has created this species to reproduce on the earth for hundreds of millions of years."
At this point, everyone actually knows what Simon wants to say. It's still the rebellious argument: mankind needs class.
However, no one has a clear intention of being hanged.
After hesitating, Nora first said, "Simon, there's a big problem."
Simon nodded: "Of course, it's also a very big problem. Like ants, they don't have the complex thoughts and diverse desires of human beings, so they can perform their respective duties. The most important thing is that their queen ants won't take out maps directly as soon as they get on the stage, consume national finance, build nursing homes for themselves everywhere, or even spend money The army. "
Philip said, "well, Simon, this is obviously not the solution."
"No, that's it," Simon said "Take the rust belt for example. If you want to solve the problem of the rust belt, the authorities must cooperate, the capital must cooperate, and the people in the rust belt must cooperate, even in areas outside the rust belt. Then, Washington gives revitalization policies and financial support, the auto giants want to sign back the factory, and the people must take the initiative to accept lower wages and give up harsh demands Labor regulations, as long as these are done, oh, it's very simple, isn't it? Because everyone actually knows what to do. Then the rust belt can revive. The problem now is that all stakeholders are reluctant to do so. Well, this requires a strong enough, um, queen ant to bridge the differences. Even if one party is unwilling to cooperate, the queen ant needs to introduce mandatory measures to force them to implement them. "
Philip nodded slightly and whispered, "the problem is, Simon, how do you ensure that this' queen ant 'will do the right thing in the right direction after he has mastered enough power, instead of taking out a map and building a nursing home for himself everywhere?"
Simon shook his head: "I can't guarantee. We can only bet."
I'm a little stunned now.
Simon shrugged again before they could respond: "many people think that the federal system is the best. However, in fact, it has always been suggested that this is not the case. The federal system can only ensure that things will not go in the worst direction, but it also leads to many things not going in the best direction."
James finally said, "this is a dead knot."
Nora frowned. Without Simon's confidence in his country when he first started the topic, he became more and more worried: "Simon, don't I mean, isn't it the worst result if the Great Depression of 1929 repeats?"
The others didn't speak and looked at Simon again.
Simon shook his head: "of course not. As a complete pessimist, frankly speaking, human destruction is the worst outcome I imagine. Moreover, it is the destruction caused by human self behavior, not because of the natural disaster of comet hitting the earth."
Philip said, "Simon, do you mean nuclear war?"
It's not hard to guess. After all, it's the core circle of Westeros system. Many of Simon's layouts are also known here.
Simon nodded, "yes, nuclear war."
"I don't think nuclear war will break out. Everyone knows that there will be no winner in nuclear war," Nora said
Simon looked at the girl across the table. "Do you know the black stone theory?"
Nora said, "the problem is, the black stone is so obvious. Who would be willing to pick it up, wouldn't it?"
"What is the greatest feature of human history?" Simon asked questions, Ask and answer yourself directly: Behoove as like as two peas. There are many inevitable trends in human history. But what really drives the progress of history is not a matter of course, but rather a number of accidents, such as sudden death of a king who has made a killing, such as the sudden cold of a war, for example, a 9 millimeter caliber Browning M1900 pistol. People all think that nuclear war will not break out, which seems inevitable. However, in that sentence, there are only some inevitable trends in history, but countless accidents push it forward. Besides the black stone theory just now, of course, it is obvious that rational people will not pick it up. The problem is that in most cases, we are actually picking up stones with our eyes closed. This is the contingency of history. "
Silence again.
After a while, Carol finally said, "Simon, this matter is too heavy. You scared Nora. Let's go back to the topic just now?"
Nora was indeed a little frightened, because she also realized that Simon's cognition was probably right, but she was a little embarrassed and competitive when her mother-in-law to be said so, Take the initiative to continue: "Simon, then, on the topic just now, I think you should be able to promote some changes. You obviously want to make changes, so are you going to do it?"
Simon shook his head without thinking, "I can't do it."
Nora was surprised: "why?"
Simon said, "I remember the last person who planned to make a lot of changes to the union. Well, his skull was removed."
People: "
John F. Kennedy is undoubtedly the president who is most determined to reform after Roosevelt in the modern history of the Federation. However, during his term of office, he did very little in the end. In fact, this is not a change except for the successful settlement of the Cuban missile crisis, and the promotion of the civil Rights Act.
The next thing the president could not do was to avoid the real risk of the Democratic Party, especially the other issues.
Philip looked expectantly at his brother-in-law: "Simon, is it really a knot?"
To everyone's surprise, Simon shook his head again, say: "If we can't reasonably launch an 'ant queen' and we have to be lucky enough to get an 'ant queen' with strong ability and selflessness, the best outcome of the Federation is to repeat the one in 1929. In the process of one overthrow, all the injured classes give up their differences and make changes together. Of course, it's best to cooperate with a Roosevelt A president like that. "
James nodded slightly and couldn't help saying, "it's still pessimistic."
Nora said, "Simon, are we really unable to do anything?"
"I'm doing it," Simon smiled mildly. "If the 3G plan can really achieve a breakthrough and promote another scientific and technological revolution, not only the Federation, but also the whole human society can enjoy the innovation dividend for a long time."
Nora persevered: "what about after 'a long time'?"
"I hope the Westeros system can realize the space migration of the moon and even Mars at that time," Simon said. "It is mainly for our own family and, more grandiose, to reserve some kindling for human civilization no matter what happens in the future."
Please report us if you find any errors so we can fix it asap!
Simon heard Philip's question and nodded without hesitation: "of course."
