Volume 4: The World of Great Conflict Chapter 0478 No way?
"You can't trust him. He eats my food, drinks my drinks, and receives my salary. If I were the emperor, I would cut off the head of the historian if he dared to write nonsense and replace him with someone who obeys. Isn't this just like you writing in your diary, you can write whatever you want."
"You little girl, do you only do three things every day: eat, sleep, and insult your father?"
“Hehehe.”
Nan Ruoyin smiled and didn't answer.
Nan Yi shook his head. "Although what you said is a bit extreme, Dad thinks it is not far from the truth. No matter whether a person has high moral character or not, he or she will have selfish desires and will not be willing to show his or her darkest side to others. Even if it is not a distortion of right and wrong, it must at least be embellished and beautified."
"I think so too. Dad, is there still 'truth' in this world?" Nan Ruoyin asked.
"There should be, but there is no absolute truth, only relative truth, just like good and bad are relative, there is no absolute good, and there is no absolute bad. Besides, what is the standard for judging good and bad?
Who sets the standards?
Are those who set standards always right?
Plato once said, "Truth may be on the side of a minority." Later, Lenin changed this sentence to "Truth is often in the hands of a minority."
Since the truth is in the hands of a minority, what is the meaning of the minority obeying the majority? "
Nan Ruoyin held her head and said, "Uh, Dad, you're talking so confusingly that it confuses me. Why don't you just tell me the answer and let me analyze and think about it myself?"
Nan Yi shook his head and said, "Dad didn't come up with a single answer. Every time he thought about it, he would come up with a completely different answer from the previous one. Dad's knowledge is still too narrow and he needs to continue to enrich his cognition.
Perhaps, the final answer, an answer that will never change, will be revealed on the day my father dies.
So, you need to think about and verify these questions yourself. When you go to college, you can choose the philosophy department and learn the ability of dialectical thinking. "
"Then what should I major in?" Nan Ruoyin asked.
"You can learn whatever you want, whether it's driving an excavator or learning to cook. Anyway, you have already regarded money as your confidant, and you will definitely spend the rest of your life looking for more confidants."
“A little bit.” Nan Ruoyin made a face at Nan Yi and said, “Dad, do I look like you?”
Nan Yi held up Nan Ruoyin's face, looked at her for a while, and said deliberately: "Looks like you and I are cut from the same mold. You have not missed any of my shortcomings. You have learned them all."
"Humph!" Nan Ruoyin turned her head away from Nan Yi's hand, "I clearly learned all the advantages and discarded all the disadvantages. Dad, you look so ugly, but I am so cute. I didn't learn any of your shortcomings."
Nan Yi summoned the Nine Yin Bone Claw and grabbed Nan Ruoyin's crown with one claw, "I'm going to ask the waiter to open the window and throw you, little thing, out."
"Hey, Dad, you're so capable, why don't you turn the plane around?"
"I don't have the ability to do that. This is not our plane. The pilot won't listen to me. If you mess with me again, I will really punish you and send you to Sierra Leone to mine diamonds."
"I don't want it. I want to go to the Soviet Union. There are more diamonds there."
"What's the use of having more? The value of a diamond is not determined by the amount, but by its size."
"No, Dad, the value of a diamond depends on a woman's vanity and how serious she is about love."
"Where did you see that argument?"
"On TV, there are women who don't care whether a man is rich or not, but only care about how he treats them. For example, a woman doesn't necessarily need a man to buy her a villa, as long as the man shows that he is willing to buy one for her, that's enough."
"What proves that attitude?"
“Practical action.”
"Oh, a woman asks a man to buy a villa not for the villa itself, but for the attitude that the act of buying a villa shows that he cares about her. So, even if the villa is bought, she will still disdain it and will not live in it at all, because she has already got the attitude she wants, right?"
"I don't know, Dad. I can't figure out the clues." Nan Ruoyin hugged Nan Yi's arm and said, "I only know that Dad, you haven't given me the 1,984 buildings you promised. I don't care whether your attitude is positive or negative. I just want you to act and make this happen."
"Hahaha, little girl, I think you are not confused, but too clear. You get to the essence of things and know what you want. You are willing to admit it. You are not hypocritical or pretentious. This is very good. Keep it up.
Dad will definitely do what he promised you, and you should work hard together. When you become an adult, you will strive to have 36,500 homes around the world . "
"Isn't that too much? If I live in one a day, it will take me 100 years to live in all of them."
"It's easy to solve the problem of not having enough space to live in. 5,000 buildings are used to train obedient water soldiers, 5,000 buildings are used to train experts with good reputations, and 10,000 buildings are used to blow up for fun. When you blow up all of them, the directional blasting technology will definitely reach its peak.
10,000 houses were demolished and rebuilt, to create a hot atmosphere in the real estate market; 6,000 houses were bought low and sold high, repeatedly smashing the market, making you earn a lot of money; the remaining 500 houses are truly your own. "
"Dad, what is the navy?"
"You are the one who muddies the waters, the one who creates the public opinion you need. For example, in 1968, an article was published in the New England Journal of Medicine, which described a strange experience of eating Chinese food. It said that after a person ate Chinese food, about 20 minutes later, the back of his neck began to feel numb, and then gradually spread to his arms and back, and lasted for about two hours.
It was said that after analysis, it was caused by the MSG in Chinese food. This article caused a worldwide panic about MSG, and this symptom was called "Chinese restaurant complication."
This story circulated for a while, and then no one paid attention to it.
If you want to launch a compound seasoning someday, you can dig up this article again, hype it up, and add specious harms to MSG. If you put too much MSG in a dish, your mouth will feel dry after eating it, and you will want to drink water, right? "
"Yes, Dad, isn't this because of the sodium in MSG?"
"Well, how many people know this? You can just say that MSG can cause dehydration, hair loss, cerebral congestion, and cancer. It would be more convincing if there were a few more cases of people dying suddenly after eating MSG."
"Dad, this won't be exposed, right?"
"No, in extreme cases, MSG can indeed cause these symptoms, but that's just a rogue statement that goes beyond the measurement. Dad, let me give you another analogy. One day, you give an employee a big raise. This employee has a bad heart. When he heard that his salary had increased a lot, he got excited and had a heart attack and couldn't be saved.
So, through this incident, you can draw a conclusion - raising wages will cause heart disease. For the sake of employees' health and out of humanitarian concern, you can choose not to raise wages for employees.
Of course, Dad is just giving you an example, don’t take it seriously.”
"No, I know that if you want horses to run faster, you have to feed them concentrated feed."
"Yes, for those who run fast, we have to feed them concentrated feed, and we have to feed them in different ways, so that they can run happily and eat comfortably; for those who run slow, we let them go home and eat themselves, and we are generous and don't exploit them."
"But, Dad, won't you be held accountable for spreading rumors?"
"Think carefully with your little head, why should we spread rumors? We only need to spread and promote the true information that is beneficial to us, and avoid talking about the parts that are not beneficial to us or are unnecessary.
Just like a job application resume, everyone will only write about their own strengths, and will not write about the fact that they snore, grind their teeth, fart, or that they like to talk about their leaders behind their backs, or that they like to form small groups with colleagues, or other information that is not beneficial to themselves.
Edison once said, "Genius is 99% perspiration and 1% inspiration, but without this 1% inspiration, the 99% perspiration is in vain."
When we only need the half of the sentence 'Genius is 99% perspiration and 1% inspiration', we can hide the rest of it.
Did Edison say this?
I have said that, so our behavior is not called cheating, but taking the essence and discarding the dross. "
"Dad, is this a perverted theory?"
Nan Yi nodded solemnly and said, "Yes, they are all fallacies. You have to say that they are fallacies."
"But that's what you're going to do, right? It's like some public figures with good reputations who speak for the poor but secretly work for the rich."
Nan Yi exclaimed: "Do you really think there are such hypocritical people, don't you?"
