Chapter 2905 Water and Dreams (8)

Although the 18th Amendment to the Constitution came into effect in 1920, the first Prohibition in the United States was actually passed by the Maine State Assembly in 1851. Neil Dow, the promoter of this bill, was elected to Portland.

The mayor of the city, and he also planned to lobby other states to promote alcohol prohibition across the country.

Symbolic logic is a logical system that is unfamiliar to most people. It is different from how most people understand logic. It was developed from mathematics in the 19th century, not from traditional philosophy.

For example, "all people are mortal" and "Socrates is a human being", from which the conclusion "Socrates is mortal" can be deduced. At first glance, this form of inference does not make sense, but there are inference forms in the world, and it is related to

The content of the inference is different. For example, Scamander quoted from William O'Connell's paper. Pomona was not familiar with Plato, but the fat monk knew that Plato once proposed realism, which later became a school of scholastic debate. By the 20s

century has become a central debate in the philosophy of science.

To put it simply, in the proposition "humans are animals", the core of the discussion of this issue is "substance" rather than the direction of the soul. When we speak of the vocal word "human", there will also be an attached sign (signa),

Even primitive people would use simple pictures when painting on the walls to let others know that it represented "man", but the word "man" was a written expression.

However, people will also stand on all fours, just as animals will stand on two legs. Standing on two legs describes a commonality or can become a universal. Aristotle defines it as the third

An entity, individual things are just accidental phenomena of universals, so universals take precedence over things.

"Videns omnem hominem est animal", the one who sees everyone is an animal. This is also a symbol. This animal has no special reference. Suppose there is a dog and a person in the crowd. The "person" can see the person, and the dog can also see.

Referring to people, but omitting the shapes of people and dogs, whether walking on two legs or walking on four legs, here refers to a rule, that is, clear reference and vague reference.

From this Aristotle learned that there is a difference between the "form" of inference and the "content" of inference.

Plato's substantive theory valued ideas, Aristotle valued entities, and William O'Connell's thinking principle of "do not add entities unless necessary" and his view of knowledge that valued "experience and evidence" shook the foundation of the entire scholastic philosophy.

Then he was excommunicated by the Pope.

Logic exists in the brain's thinking, that is, the way to think about problems. It has no entity. However, Aristotle called entity theory a substance, which means "the supporter standing below." In fact, it can have no entity.

If you want to know the details, you can go to the Fat Monk. Anyway, Hogwarts already has a Professor Binns who teaches history.

The significance of symbolic logic is to answer and clarify. For example, circuit diagrams of complex circuits use symbols to replace meta-language expressions. The NAND gate is one kind. A more complex circuit board will have multiple NAND gates and other symbols. Its main function

Its function is to provide a new tool and thinking, which requires a lot of training, because symbols replace language and become a communication tool.

This kind of "symbol" conflicts with the previous symbols, and not every student trained in symbolic logic can master it, so they don't like to use it. This leads to the fate of symbolic logic, either being warmly welcomed or being rejected.

Hate.

The clown's symbol is his mask. When Arthur walks on the street without makeup, no one will look at him twice. What's more, the lights in the subway were dim and the only witness was still scared. She couldn't provide much information.

Many testimonies and clues told the police the physical characteristics of the murderer, but instead described the appearance of the clown.

She couldn't see Arthur's true face under the makeup, or women couldn't see the difference between makeup and before makeup.

Next is a woman's sense of self-protection. She said that she didn't see clearly what the clown looked like, so there wouldn't be a madman with a gun who would come to her residence to take revenge.

It was just a clown mask, and the police had no way to investigate. What's more, after the news report, there were still people wearing clown masks on the street deliberately. It was during the strike, and some people were provoking the police for no reason.

In 1851, before the outbreak of the Civil War, the enthusiasm caused by the prohibition movement was bound to affect the cohesion brought about by the abolition of slavery. Moreover, riots broke out in Portland, which was the first to pass the prohibition. So after the implementation of the prohibition, including the Burmese

Prohibition was overturned in several states, including Indiana.

But alcohol prohibition did not stop. When New York bars posted on their doors "The most beautiful girls in the world drink here", a group of housewives joined the "battle". They advocated healthy eating, chastity, loose clothing, etc.

Their representative was Sister Thompson. She led her team to taverns, hotels, and pharmacies. Everywhere she went, she knelt on the ground and prayed for the redemption of the shopkeeper's heart. These women were divided into multiple teams, and they changed each one every six hours.

They would take turns rushing from home to the next pub on the list, praying and reading the Bible aloud, no matter whether it was windy or rainy.

During adolescence, girls often have "arguments" with their mothers over clothing issues. Now mothers no longer object to what their daughters wear. They kneel down and sing hymns in front of the hotels where their daughters go.

Then there is the issue of "fashion." For housewives, home clothes and aprons are basic, while women who work outside the home take "appropriateness" as the standard. Among them is a female public defender named Willebrand.

She is a frequent visitor to the Justice's home, and is even a member of the White House advisory board. She refuses all forms of pretense, and does not even wear lipstick. Her outfit during the day remains unchanged, always a well-tailored suit and a simple shirt. At home, she

She wears elegant and unique clothes, and always has a flower pinned to her waist or shoulder.

When the economy is in the doldrums, the moment a soft, moist lipstick touches your lips can bring comfort. For the top prosecutor in charge of prosecuting those who violate the Volstead Act, a recent law enforcement officer

Five years after graduating from college, she is only 32 years old. A young woman with a sense of justice seems to be the right candidate.

However, after being appointed prosecutor, Willebrand accused the local police of not enforcing the prohibition order, suffering from "sleeping sickness" and being slow to respond to law enforcement. The entire Prohibition Bureau has about 4,000 people, and there are 120 million people in the United States.

I can't find 4,000 people who are not bribed.

Gotham's high crime rate is also related to police corruption, but bribery and malfeasance are two different things.

Some people may bend the law for personal gain by accepting bribes, and some may derelict their duties due to dereliction of duty. The gun Arthur used to kill three promising young men in the subway was a police revolver. His "friend" Landau saw him

When he was bullied, he gave him this gun for "self-defense". At the same time, this gun also caused Arthur to lose his job.

It is a serious matter for a police officer to lose his gun, not to mention that it may become a murder weapon with a serious impact. The police officer who lost his gun must be very nervous.

The police will have their bosses, and their bosses will have their bosses. If they are all members of a certain "club", not only will their careers be damaged, but their families will be broken up. What will the children think of their father who is "dancing" with his beautiful sister in his arms?

Woolen cloth?

Compared with bribery, this aspect of the scandal is more "juicy", and then there is a domino effect. Public opinion finds the hot news. People who oppose police corruption take to the streets to march with the strikers. In contrast, they say "Look for Thomas Wayne".

If you don't know the murderer, you will save a lot of trouble.

Even if there are no cameras in the subway, there are other cameras on Arthur's escape route, and the person dressed as a clown is very conspicuous on the deserted street.

But once the clown is caught, he will naturally face charges, but the gun will also become evidence in court. The channel may be illegal, and the evidence collection does not comply with the "fruit of the poisonous tree" principle.

Not catching him would just add a negligible denominator to the already ugly crime detection rate of the Gotham Police Department. But no one expected that Thomas Wayne would actually challenge the Joker on TV, saying that he was a man hiding behind a mask.

The villain.

Thomas Wayne seems like a responsible entrepreneur who cares about his employees, as does Arthur's mother, who worked for Thomas Wayne more than 30 years ago.

Even though she was old, she was still a bit beautiful, and she still had a kind of hopeless innocence. Many people who went on strike were not doing well. Why did she think Thomas Wayne would help the mother and son after receiving her letter?

Look carefully at Arthur's lips. There is a scar on his upper lip, which looks like a mark left by surgery. There may not be so many congenital malformations in the world. Cleft lip is indeed very common. After surgery, it looks like a normal person.

There is no difference, this feature is also blocked by the clown's thick makeup.

People like Thomas Wayne have no shortage of women who want to give him children and tie him up, and a family of his level wants a "perfect heir" who not only has to be good in character and learning, but also has a perfect appearance.

Fortunately Arthur is not Thomas Wayne's child.

That would make everyone sick. Arthur's mother is a psychopath. There are so many talented and beautiful women, why did Thomas choose her?

The last "witch" in Europe was a maid in a judge's family. She was pregnant with her husband's child. In order to cover up this relationship, the judge used his connections, forged documents, created the story that she intended to murder the child, and accused her of being a witch.

.

Arthur has complete proof that he was adopted from an orphanage, and his mother is also delusional. Who would believe the words of a delusional person?

He couldn't be Thomas Wayne's child, but Thomas didn't think of DNA technology at that time. The two of them would know it after taking a tube of blood for identification.

But these are not important anymore. Arthur is a clown. He dances in the toilet and no one appreciates it. Only himself in the mirror is the only audience.

But soon he will become a "star", not the kind of "comedian" who can't tell funny jokes on stage and needs to play canned laughter to make the audience laugh.

"You insist that it is not the sea but the air between the highest mountains that makes up the true surface of the earth."

"Your king Aristotle also said and confirmed this."

"Our king is by no means comparable to your king, of whom we still know nothing. He is more prestigious, more famous, and has more followers, so do as you like.

Your king, I love my king."

"Even if he makes you drink the northwest wind and forces you to walk barefoot?"

"Come on, don't have this empty and futile conversation."

The Young King said, I thought someone was born with the appearance of a king.

"Did you see his smile? Does he look like a king or a clown?" Pomona said, looking at Rohart's photo in the window.

Severus and Hagrid looked over together, but made no comment.

"Wait a moment, I'm going to buy something. It's the catgut that Professor Felicity wants," Hagrid said.

"Can't gut strings be used as strings?" Pomona asked.

"It's not an ordinary piano, it's a piano made for Lu Wei. Wait for me a moment." Hagrid said, and then walked towards Knockturn Alley.

"Stand still," Severus said impatiently.

Pomona stood unsteadily for a while and saw the Daily Prophet not far away... She seemed to see Rita Kist making coquettish gestures towards her.

"Oh, that pretentious woman," Pomona said.

"What?" Severus said confused.

She didn't know where the strength came from, she pushed Severus away and walked towards the newspaper office. Passersby gave way to her, as if she were a human chariot.
