In this article, I will talk to you about some "secrets" about the "world".
Why do you say so, because I recently read a book called "A Brief History of the Future", and I felt something about it, so I wanted to write this article to record my current cognition.
What is the world? This problem is still a bit of a space hole.
Let's start with a question that I have been thinking about before: In ancient times, an emperor ruled a country, and I was very strange, the emperor was a man, the officers and soldiers were people, and the common people were people, so according to this reason, the emperor was an ordinary person, not a super Saiyan, and did not really have the ability to resist the rebellion of all the people in the whole country, so why did so many people in the whole country willingly submit to the rule of an emperor?
Looking at the modern era, feudal society has disappeared in our country, the people have turned over as masters, each of us can have our own things, as long as we abide by the laws identified by the common, our society will not be too much chaos, and in the case of everyone working for their own interests, our potential will be stimulated and played by a relatively large amount.
In ancient times, if everyone realized at the same time that they and the emperor were ordinary people with flesh and blood, there were even people who had better skin, stronger bodies, and more sensitive heads than the emperor, and it could even be said that there was more than one person more suitable than the emperor to be an emperor nationwide.
If the peasants unite all over the country and rebel at the same time for the common goal, then feudal society will be completely and completely crushed in less than a day.
So what is it that controls generations of people to live so "normally"? What kind of person can believe what an emperor says?
Before answering this question, I would like to ask you, do you feel that power exists in this world?
Think for 10 seconds
I think power is actually a very vain thing. But it's useful, or rather, from the current reality.
Did power exist at the time of this birth? No, it was good to have an ant on earth at that time, because man had not yet evolved, so when did power come about?
10 seconds of thinking
In fact, to be precise, it should be after the human society has cooperated in groups. At least after the birth of human beings. What about after that? Because human beings have learned to unite and cooperate, slowly, everyone in cooperation has tasted the sweetness of cooperation.
Then, after mutual consultation, finally power slowly began to evolve.
So, what is power?
In my opinion, power is really a group of people working together, one person or someone who has made a remarkable contribution to the whole group, based on the consideration of fairness, after everyone agrees, finally, everyone in the team agrees and is willing to believe what they hear or see, and allow those who are more capable than themselves to control certain things.
For example, a group of primitive people living together, I am one of them, and then my own innate ability to hunt is particularly good, or through my own acquired efforts, my ability has been qualitatively improved.
One day I was hanging my son lang with a sharpened long stick dangling in the primeval forest.
Suddenly a reindeer appeared in front of me, and then I flew over with an arrow and rode directly on the deer's body, and then accidentally hesitated that my body was too strong, and the deer could not hold on, so I swallowed.
I dragged the deer on my back and returned to the tribe, and then everyone looked at me with envy, of course, at this time I negotiated with everyone: I killed this deer, and I now have the right to divide the venison independently.
After all, I killed this deer, and I naturally have the right to divide the venison, but I can't let the gap between everyone's venison be too large, it will be unfair, and unfair without reason will inevitably cause jealousy and hatred of others.
Okay, that's it.
So what is power? That should be: fictional entities!
So, the so-called power is a nihilistic thing?
Yes, if there is no one in this world who believes in power, then there will be no power in this world.
The reason for the power is because we need it, because we need this illusory thing.
Compared with a society without rights, with power, society will become relatively more stable, and people's inner balance will be better.
The existence of power still has a certain truth.
After explaining the power, you should know why the emperor alone can control the whole country.
In fact, the emperor's power and wisdom are superimposed, can help the people to solve problems, can make plans for the country, and this requires continuous learning, being an emperor is not good, other children can play outside in childhood, and the prince may just stay in the deep palace day after day to learn a lot of knowledge.
Of course, there will also be some less intelligent emperors who happen to come to power, such as the Jin Hui Emperor, why not eat meat?
The result is that it is easy to cause the people to revolt and form a rebellion, so ah, whether the emperor is there or not, it is completely decided by everyone in the society, you think he can, and he is living well now, he can accept it, the emperor let him go well.
Then let's analyze it from another angle, as a commoner, why are you willing to listen to the emperor's words?
Because the emperor can arrange something for you, such as you can get paid after labor, this is one of them; on the other hand, the circle that the emperor has is different from his own circle, and relative to the leaders of a country, he must have excellent qualities, so from his own point of view, it is also good to be an ordinary commoner, to be able to wife and children hot kilns, and to get a future that he can plan through his own struggle.
And what is the emperor's greatest pressure? It is to deal with the uncertainty of many possibilities in the future, such as the day when their territory is suddenly violated, the first thing to worry about must be the person who leads the fate of the country, and some large and small things, the civilians may not know at all. In this way, being a civilian is really easy. Although his own power is far from that of the emperor, how can the emperor's rule not be a kind of protection for himself?
Going back to the original question, what is the world?
The world can be divided into two components, the natural real world and the fictional real world.
Natural reality refers to things that existed on earth before the emergence of human beings, such as rocks, forests, islands and all other naturally existing things.
The fictional reality is that after the emergence of human beings, according to the consent of each person, they jointly recognize what exists. For example, the renminbi, to put it bluntly, most of the ingredients are cotton, so why can it exchange things with others? Even in the case of the 100 yuan bill, the cotton that can be purchased has far exceeded its own cost value.
Paper money is a fictional reality, but human society needs to exchange what they need with each other, so people jointly recognize the existence of paper money in order to facilitate the exchange of what they need.
Up to now, money is needed everywhere in life, to put it more bluntly, in fact, it is a person's ability to exchange, and if the exchange ability is strong, you can get things that exist in real life.
This is the world, and this is the reason why human beings can unite to form a society.
