"Anyone who talks about abstract morality in isolation from the conditions of human life is an idealist. We face such human tragedies not to leave ourselves alone, but to face them with an empathy, to put ourselves in the shoes of improving social problems. "Initial intention, thought, humanities, science, here is Hugo Cloud Record, sharing Mr. Tianshi's analysis of the use of public knowledge to give himself gold...

Why do public intellectuals like human tragedies?!

- Zou Tianshi

A woman who is chained and forced to have eight children is undoubtedly a human ethical tragedy and a criminal act.

Use the question to put yourself in gold?!

According to the viewpoint of historical materialism, this is a contradiction in social development that must be resolved realistically and gradually eliminated. However, what the public knows want is not to solve the problem, but to use the problem to put money on themselves, in other words, to prove their virtue and correctness with the suffering of others.

The well-known accounts of the tragedy quote Kant: "Man himself cannot be an instrument." But they ignore Kant's premise in saying this sentence, "When people all act according to pure reason." Kant believed that reason was to admit that the development of things came from the mutual transformation between action and reaction, rather than thinking that human beings themselves are independent purposes.

If human beings themselves are the purpose of independent existence, then human beings themselves will only be idols of death. In Kant's rational world, the essence of human beings is the embodiment of perfect purposes, which are God in the moral realm, not concrete people themselves. In real society, the practice of human life is a process of self-instrumentation, using hands and thinking to work to obtain survival, including labor as a tool for others, otherwise there would be no social division of labor.

Think of yourself as a "natural saint"?!

Human life is paid according to the calculation of time in the process of labor, and only with survival can there be a sublimation of the value of life. It can be seen that anyone who talks about abstract morality in isolation from the real conditions of human life is an idealist. When we face such human tragedies, we do not have to leave ourselves alone, but to face them with an empathy, and put ourselves in the shoes of improving social problems.

Of course, we can't put an end to the well-known behavior of those who like to rub the heat of tragedy, which is very cheap, and just standing in line at any time to the so-called "moral correctness" (their own political correctness) is enough to sweep away the "moral incorrectness" of everyone in the world, although they do nothing, or even prove their innocence.

The Bible records a plot in which the Pharisees took a prostitute and shoved her before Jesus and asked if she should be stoned to death, to which Jesus replied, "If you have no sin you can beat her to death." "As a result, the men slipped away.

Imagine if you were replaced by Chinese public intellectuals, that prostitute would have been smashed into meat sauce long ago, because these public intellectuals regarded themselves as "natural saints" - and consciously or unconsciously ignored their own stinky virtues, and were most qualified to point out the country and the mountains, and the most qualified to judge the world.
