"It's the breath of youth." Duran came to the university for a infiltration mission. He and Motoko must investigate whether the internationally renowned scientist Dr. Watanabe is really related to illegal drugs.
"Be more serious." Suzi said.
Dulan said there was no problem and said: "I will investigate it carefully."
"Be careful. Young people are the most impulsive and the most likely to make mistakes. Don't influence them." Suzi believes that young people are the most likely to go astray.
Du Lan believes that it is easy for any age group to go astray, not just young people. Of course, in every turbulent era, young people are indeed the core force. After all, young people are the main force in rebellions, subjugating superiors, and fighting wars.
Young people are more energetic and enterprising.
Dulan came to the Island University as an exchange student at the University of Tokyo. In the world of cyberpunk, the relationship between the two countries is very normal. After all, the island country is still a follower of the rules. If the big country is strong, they will trade. When the big country is weak, they will expand.
If Dongda is still a big country and the island country is still a small country, then the relationship between the two countries will not change much. What it was like in the past thousand years is what it is like now.
Now it belongs to the trade stage, that is, the big countries are strong, and the island countries suppress their internal affairs through closed trade.
The current prime minister of the island country insists on independence. In fact, it is because of the confrontation and compromise between the two major internal trade groups.
One side advocates trade with the East, and the other side advocates trade with the United States. In order to prevent civil war between the two sides, the Prime Minister belongs to the neutral faction, which is acceptable to both sides, and can negotiate under the slogan of independence without causing a rift.
Of course, it is impossible to be independent. Island countries have never achieved it. If you want to be independent, you must either succeed in expansion and have a trump card. Or you must control your own productivity and make huge profits. But no matter what, you need internal consensus.
, but the island nation has never reached a consensus, even during the expansion period, there were conflicts between the navy and the army, which shows the depth of the internal chaos.
Without resolving internal differences, it will be difficult to be independent.
Although independence is very attractive to island countries, they all hope to be able to make the decision. Unfortunately, at the current level, it is difficult.
It’s not that the island nation’s elites don’t have vision, they see it clearly, but if you want to change, you have to start with yourself, and the island nation’s elites won’t do that.
The elites of the island country know very well that they should share the benefits with everyone and unite everyone. However, there is a chain of suspicion between the landlords, just like hunters in a dark forest, and no one knows who will fire the first shot.
Just like in the Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States Period, Confucian benevolence and Mohist universal love are both very good, but the nobility will never use them. Benevolence requires you to use your own resources to share them with everyone, but the nobility can share resources, but they cannot use them.
Take it back. If you can't take it back, it's over.
Neither benevolence nor universal love can recover benefits.
Even in the cyberpunk era, many countries do not have the means to recycle profits. Landlords in island countries cannot trust each other and cannot provide resources.
Even if the elites of the island country know how to do it, they can't trust others or make others believe it. So they know how to do it, but they can't implement it. They can only control the resources in their own hands instead of circulating them, because if they are circulated,
You can't get it back into your own hands.
In the Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States Period, Confucianism and Mohism raised their arms and shouted, but it was of no use at all. It was so embarrassing. It was not until Legalism that it became useful. Legal rewards and punishments were used to flow resources. If you do the right thing, you will be rewarded, and if you do the wrong thing, you will be punished.
Punishment. Reward is to distribute resources, and punishment is to collect resources.
Legalism used the standard of making the country rich and powerful to build a channel for the flow of resources, and achieved something that neither Confucianism nor Mohism could do. It became the first choice during the Warring States Period.
But the shortcoming of Legalism is that rewards outweigh punishments. When expansion is successful, the rewards must be large enough for everyone to accept them.
Now all countries have laws and can use national security as the standard to control the country, but they still need the input of external resources before everyone will obey.
Once resources are reduced and everyone competes for resources from each other, it will be self-defeating.
Of course, in addition to Legalism, there are also religions. With religion as a platform, everyone uses resources and distributes and recycles resources according to the standards of doctrine.
But religion also likes to expand. After all, it is fun to take what others have.
Legalism and religion were the first methods to control the circulation of resources. Business was also indispensable. Business could even surpass Legalism and religion and control circulation through the control of capital. Of course, business also needed to expand.
Legalism, religion, and commerce are the three longest-lasting directions of controlling resource circulation in human society.
There is another thing that developed relatively late, which is the imperial examination. Resources are distributed and recycled through the imperial examination. Compared with human history, the imperial examination is too young.
Religion and commerce are the most primitive. Legalism was born in the Warring States Period, and the imperial examination was not born until the Sui Dynasty. The more primitive it is, the more violent it is. Religion and commerce are often accompanied by military expansion.
Legalism also focused on war. That is to say, the relationship between imperial examination and war is far away. Therefore, violence plays a hidden role and is the last resort to control the flow of resources.
The winning and losing of violence, the good and evil of religion, the importance of business, the rewards and punishments of Legalism, and the corruption of imperial examinations. They all have their own standards for collecting and releasing resources. Violence means that winners collect resources and losers release resources. Religion means that believers collect resources, and those who are different
Believers release resources. Business means making money from valuable business, and losing money from worthless transactions. Legalism means legal rewards and illegal punishments. Imperial examination means loyalty, incorruptibility is praised, while treacherous ministers and greed are nailed to the pillar of shame in history.
The island nation's elites are not stupid, and they know how to be truly independent, but there is no trust between them, and even two families that are married cannot be trusted.
Two elites may become friends, but the elites do not represent themselves, but rather represent the family. The elites themselves may be willing to devote resources to support their friends, but the family is definitely not willing.
The so-called moderates mean that everyone works together, devotes resources, builds together to obtain more resources, and shares them together.
The so-called extremists are those who are only responsible for their own people, do not let go of their own resources, and also seize the resources of others.
If there are more resources, moderates will get more resources. If there are fewer resources, extremists will become more popular.
In the era of cyberpunk, when extremists are on the rise, everyone has to snatch resources instead of giving them away.
Within the university, there are both moderates and extremists. The moderate elites support the independence of the prime minister, while the extremist elites are divided into several factions. There is a faction in each region, all fighting for the interests of their own territory.
They are very smart and capable, but they argue over and over again and there is no consensus.
Du Lan visited the school and saw many group activities, including speeches, lectures, leaflets, and performances... everyone expressed their opinions.
As an exchange student, Dulan was naturally asked a lot of questions by these students. They also knew that society was ill, but they didn't know how to treat it.
Everyone wants to know what Dulan thinks of the island country and whether there is any cure.
"I think the island country is very good and there is no need to change it." Dulan said that there is no need to change it, it is all very good.
No matter who asked, Duran always answered like this. He was not here to attend class, but to investigate the case, and his main job was to monitor Dr. Watanabe.
Of course, Dulan usually communicates with everyone with love, talk, and mutual understanding.
"Let's understand each other, and hope that the criminals can surrender themselves and carry forward the spirit of love and bonding." How much Dulan hopes that solving the case relies on love, talk, and mutual understanding.
It would be much easier to solve the case this way, and maybe the criminals could turn themselves in, saving a lot of trouble. Unfortunately, the criminals are obviously not the cute and charming villains in hot-blooded comics, and they cannot be influenced by love.
Only by attacking with an iron fist can criminals know how powerful they are.
Young people have been discussing the future of the island country, but they don't know that there is evil around them. A new type of illegal drug is quietly popular on campus, poisoning the neural chips of young people.
