61. Division of labor, but not necessarily people?
"At this solemn moment of [division of labor], the strong winds began to attack mankind. Progress is not equal to all people... It first only reaches a few privileged people. This is the partiality of progress towards people. It
It perpetuates the belief in natural and divine inequalities in status, and it gives rise to castes and establishes the hierarchy of all societies."
——Proudhon, "The Philosophy of Poverty" Volume 1
"Division of labor gives rise to caste. Caste is the pernicious aspect of division of labor; therefore, pernicious aspects arise from division of labour. This is exactly what needs to be demonstrated. If we want to ask further, what makes the division of labor create caste, hierarchy and privilege? Proudhon
The teacher will answer us: it is progress.
But what causes progress?
【limit】.
Boundaries, this is what Mr. Proudhon calls the partiality of progress toward people."
——***, Chapter 2 of "The Poverty of Philosophy"
...
People can do many things.
But a person can only do one thing at a time. This is the simplest fact.
Maybe silicon-based life can achieve dual cores and four threads, four cores and eight threads, or even 64 cores and 128 threads, and control thousands of arms to do different things in the same second - on why tentacle monsters are an ideal life form - in short
Very different from ordinary people.
After all, the vast majority of human beings cannot even do calculations while drawing a circle with the left hand and deriving a function with the right hand.
Of course, if it's the kind of 'devil whose right wrist can turn into three snakes', it's not impossible...?
Castle, second floor, late night.
A certain devil held the parchment in his left hand, and while reading it, he drew diagrams on three other pieces of paper with his right hand.
Well, right hands (plural form).
The three poisonous snakes that emerged from the transformation "each perform their own duties" at the end of Li Jiasu's right wrist.
The three snake heads, blue, green, and purple, each use their own snake mouths, biting a quill, twisting the noodle-like snake body, and writing regular words and paintings on three pieces of parchment according to Li Jiasu's thinking.
chart.
This scene looks too scary——
——The power of the tentacle monster is so terrifying!
The bad influence on young people is immeasurable.
"Well, that's about it."
Li Jiasu put the three carefully designed blank forms on the table and turned around to look at them.
"Chu Yang, you recorded... Huh? What are you doing?"
In the study room, the young lord was seen squatting at the bottom of a row of bookshelves, quickly flipping through dozens of dusty old books.
"I'm looking for a black magic book left by my ancestor." Chu Yang replied, accidentally choking on a mouthful of dust, "Ahem... I really should find time to do a general cleaning."
Li Jiasu was slightly puzzled and asked: "Why did you suddenly think of looking for a magic book?"
Under the bookshelf, the young lord was rummaging around and complaining: "Ac Master Li, your appearance just now inspired me."
A certain snake-tentacled devil: "?"
Chuyang coughed again, waved away the dust, and drew out a thin booklet of notes from between the two crowded old thick books.
This notebook, wrapped in kraft paper, is only half a finger thick. It is really hard to find when sandwiched between two thick books, and is easy to overlook.
"I've told you about it before, right? The black magic my father and I have mastered is inherited from our family." Chu Yang stood up, wiped off the dust on the small notebook, and nodded slightly. He should have found the right one.
"The ancestor of our family, the extraordinary manuscripts he left behind actually include more than two volumes of [Alchemy] and [Necromancy]." The young lord explained to the devil, "It's just that in my father's generation, he believed that alchemy was
The most practical, uh, more profitable? So he later focused most of his energy on his own research, alas..."
"I myself am more interested in necromancy, but under my father's supervision, I have somewhat mastered alchemy."
(As for why Chu Yang favors necromancy, I will leave this aside for now and will discuss it another day)
The devil asked curiously: "Oh? What is this notebook in your hand?"
Chu Yang opened the small book, glanced at it twice, and then closed the book.
"The ancestor left four extraordinary manuals to the family: alchemy, necromancy, monster summoning, and illusion."
The young lord returned to the desk and stuffed the small notebook into the drawer. It seemed that he did not intend to read it now.
"The manual I found is [Monster Summoning Technique]. I will do a preliminary study of it tomorrow morning, and it should be able to help with the kitchen work."
This time it was the devil's turn to say 'Ah?', "Chu Yang, can you help with the summoning of monsters in the kitchen?"
The young lord pointed to the devil's right wrist,
"Axelarat, you inspire me."
"As long as the spell instructions are arranged properly and the targets are selected properly, low-level monsters can be used as cattle and horses, and they can definitely do more things than livestock."
"For example, as far as I know...hey, my father used to brag and chat with me. Many years ago, he and his adventure partners encountered all kinds of monsters in the eastern forest of the Kingdom of France and Portugal.
Plant monster."
"A magic flower with petals as sharp as a saw, a weird pea tree that can spit out ice, a giant flytrap that can walk, and many other strange monsters."
Li Jia Shu looked at his right wrist, thought for a moment, and commented: "The saw magic flower and the ice pea tree sound like they might be useful!"
Chuyang's face showed a hint of excitement,
"I thought so too."
The devil nodded, agreeing with the young lord's whim, then smiled bitterly and pointed to the three blank forms on the table.
On the three pieces of parchment, after Li Jia Shu finished reading the investigative notes on "Potentially Available Cook Manpower Groups Within and Outside the City" written by Chu Yang, the civil engineering devil used a lifetime of excel experience to skillfully design the division of labor.
Planning form (blank).
Graphicalization, regularization of information classification, and visualization of handover links must be achieved through [making tables].
Precisely refining complicated matters into [readable], [readable], and [comparable] is itself a technology to improve production efficiency - biochemical environmental materials are scientific and technological productivity, and management and logic are administrative productivity.
.
But after all, the devil made things so troublesome,
Isn’t it because——
——Humans and cows and horses are different.
contrast?
Managing cattle and horses can be complex at times, but simple at times:
1. Don’t starve them to death
2. Give them a place to sleep
3. Discipline them to do repetitive tasks of doing something every day
As long as the above three points are met, cattle, sheep, donkeys and horses can be tamed.
So, managers, if they copy the above three points mechanically:
1. Don’t starve them to death
2. Give them a place to sleep
3. Discipline them to do the repetitive work of doing something every day
This is obviously nonsense——
——Even if you are managing a group of slaves, you still have to be wary of uprisings, right?
In order to guard against slave rebellion, the costs and steps at the management level have increased, and it must not be as simple as 1.2.3.
Take care of slave trouble,
If you are not a slave, it will be more troublesome to manage!
"Chu Yang, please take a careful look at these three forms." Li Jia Shu's voice sounded, "This is an efficient way to manage people. This is civil engineering... Ahem, this is the secret knowledge of the devils in the Nine Hells.
I am showing it to you now! Look carefully and study hard."
"If you don't understand something, just ask and I will answer it." Tumu Devil said to the young lord.
Chu Yang picked up a form, looked at it carefully, and scratched his hair vigorously.
His intuition told him that if the 'documentary knowledge' in front of him was arranged and combined with [graphics] and [frameworks] and supplemented with annotated information, it would make the nobles of the Kingdom of Spain crazy and flock to it.
treasure!
But, if you learn it seriously, will you be able to teach people to lose their hair?
