Chapter 1242 Jackal and Rabbit
"The so-called 'protecting ordinary people' by cultivators is no different from the spoiling cats and dogs by extreme animal protectors. It is not because they are more righteous, kind and kind than others, but only because they are selfish."
Li Yao stumbled and said, "Private? What selfishness?"
"In our real human empire, there is a famous sociology and psychology master named 'Ma Tianluo'. This master Ma proposed the five-stage human needs theory. He pointed out that a person implements all his life needs, from low to high, is divided into five levels, namely physiological needs, safety needs, emotional needs, respect needs and self-realization needs."
Tang Qianhe talked freely, "Both physiological needs and safety needs are easy to understand. Eating and wearing well, and not being harmed by foreign enemies is an instinct that animals have!"
"Emotional needs are also easy to understand. People are a group race. A person always desires to immerse himself in the package of family, friendship, love and other emotions. As the saying goes, seven emotions and six desires, even the Daluo Golden Immortal is difficult to avoid."
"To put it bluntly, respecting needs means a desire to occupy a certain position in society, be recognized, respected or even worshipped by others! If this need is met, it can make people feel confident and feel the 'value' of their existence!"
"The need for self-realization is the highest level of need, which refers to realizing personal ideals, ambitions, and ideology, stimulating personal potential to the limit, and thoroughly implementing one's 'Tao heart'!"
"It is easy to understand how Master Ma's 'five-stage demand theory' is used to analyze what the cultivators do."
"The first thing to protect ordinary people can satisfy the emotional needs of cultivators, secondly, they can gain the respect and worship of the public, and thirdly, they can implement their ideas and extend their hearts of Tao! That is, all the more advanced three needs in the "Five-story Ladder Demand Theory" are met!"
"To put it bluntly, cultivators protect ordinary people and then receive cheers and worship from ordinary people; this is the same as an ordinary person raising a pet dog, building a kennel for it, buying dog food, and even calling it a part of the family, and finally getting its intimacy."
"Do they like small animals in particular? Of course not, they just satisfy their empty hearts!"
"Otherwise, why are there many people raising cats and dogs in the world, but so few people raising cockroaches and toads? To put it bluntly, cats and dogs are cute and have a little human nature, which can bring a sense of spiritual satisfaction to ordinary people, and only ordinary people can raise cats and dogs; and ordinary people can also bring a sense of spiritual satisfaction to cultivators. They are a high-level pet, so cultivators can protect ordinary people!"
"That, that"
Li Yao didn't know how to refute this strange and strange theory for a while.
What's more, he didn't dare to act too resistant, so as not to cause suspicion from the three immortal cultivators, so he had to follow Tang Qianhe's wishes, "That seems to be nothing wrong, right?"
"If you just close the door and spoil your pet, of course it is your personal freedom, and there is nothing wrong with it!"
Tang Qianhe snorted coldly, revealing a contempt and disgusting expression, "It's a pity that cultivators, like extreme animal protectionism, like to treat their own selfish desires as so-called morality, regard their likes and dislikes as the truth of "all-in-one", and even interfere with the very normal behavior of others!"
"The resources in the starry sea are limited. Raising ordinary people as pets requires more resources than raising cats and dogs as pets; and the cruelty of ordinary people is far greater than that of cats and dogs. If you are not careful, you will be ungrateful at any time and bite it back!"
"Cultivators are short-sighted and extremely selfish guys. They just start from their own selfishness and instincts, and only see the ordinary people in front of them seem pitiful. They must protect them at all costs to satisfy their compassion. However, they do not know that doing so will bring long-term damage and ultimately lead to the overall collapse of the entire human civilization!"
Li Yao frowned: "What kind of destruction?"
Tang Qianhe said seriously with his face: "Our human civilization, like the natural ecosystem, is actually the most solid and fragile thing! It is said that it is strong because it has some natural laws that can self-regulate and balance, and purify and evolve under the constraints of seemingly cruel laws; it is said that it is fragile because once a human being, as the spirit of all things, controls the ability to modify certain laws, and is driven by his self-righteous compassion, it is really modified, and the collapse is almost inevitable!"
"Fellow Daoist Li, have you heard of 'ecological balance'?"
Li Yao nodded.
"The ecosystem of nature is a very balanced and perfect work of art. Imagine that there is such a prairie, a small number of jackals, a large number of rabbits and grass all over the mountains and fields, forming a simple ecosystem."
"Rabbits eat grass, jackals eat rabbits."
"The rabbit is very cute and makes people feel compassionate at first glance."
"The jackal has a hideous face and is cruel by nature. The scene of preying on rabbits is extremely bloody!"
"At first glance, it's easy to define rabbits as 'good' and jackals as 'bad'!"
"Suddenly, some omnipotent people came to this grassland and saw the bloody scene of jackals preying on rabbits. They also saw the cute scene of the little rabbit rubbing around in their arms. They immediately developed the idea of "swalking the strong and supporting the weak" and killed all the jackals, leaving only the furry, fleshy, gentle and cute little rabbits."
"May I ask, will this grassland become a fairyland on earth?"
"Of course not!"
"In less than a year, rabbits with super fertility and good at destroying the roots of plants will completely destroy the grassland, and rabbits that lose their food source will die in large numbers and become completely extinct!"
"Do you understand?"
"In this ecosystem, the wolves that look cruel and ferocious are the protectors of grass, rabbits and the entire nature; and those guys who seem to be warm in ancient ways, help the strong and help the weak are demons, enslaved by self-inflated morality, and are unyielding demons!"
"Maybe they are really kind-hearted, or maybe they fought with the jackal for 300 rounds while protecting the rabbit, and paid countless blood and sacrifices..."
"So what? The fact that the entire ecosystem cannot be changed is completely destroyed by their 'good intention'!"
There was a "buzzing" sound in Li Yao's mind.
This set of rhetoric by immortal cultivators has been tempered over thousands of years. Even if they are rude, they will at least appear serious and justified.
Tang Qianhe took a deep breath, his face full of sacred glory, and said proudly: "Human civilization, like ecological balance, has its own internal logic of its operation and development."
"Survival of the fittest is natural and the survival of the fittest. Only by maintaining a certain degree of cruel competition can we ensure that excellent genes get the most abundant resources and pass on them from generation to generation; while relatively inferior genes will be gradually eliminated, and will not waste resources or pollute the environment!"
"This is like the metabolism of human civilization. It is a very normal and reasonable process. Survival of the fittest!"
"However, with the development of human civilization, various new technologies and new supernatural powers emerge one after another. It seems that we have defeated nature and can ignore the laws and logic! Many people gradually develop arrogance, and their desires replace reason, trying to "do the way for heaven". Their representative is modern cultivators!"
"Modern cultivators conquer all directions, wipe out the enemies of human civilization one by one, creating a stable world without internal and external troubles, and developing advanced psychic technology, which has promoted the large-scale popularization of various magic weapons and magical powers. The living environment of ordinary people has greatly improved, and the average life expectancy has increased exponentially. The result is that the number of ordinary people is like a volcanic eruption, and the inferior genes that should have been eliminated by the harsh environment have also been passed down!"
"It's like losing a natural enemy like a jackal, a rabbit that expands infinitely on the grassland!"
"This kind of world looks beautiful, but it is built artificially. It is absolutely impossible for a glass greenhouse that is very delicate and fragile.
"As long as the number of ordinary people reaches the critical point, their infinite desire for resources will eventually crush the whole world. Cultivators who are immersed in their inferior genes will lose their enterprising spirit, and will flow with the light and dust, flow with the dirty stream, and eventually fall into a state of endless disaster. The fire of human civilization in this world is completely extinguished, just like a wasteland that has been gnawed by rabbits!"
"Don't think I'm exaggerating. In the history of the expansion of our real human empire, we have discovered many self-destructive worlds of cultivators. It is precisely because we have seen the tragic situation in these worlds and learned from their experiences and lessons that inspired us to go further and further on the path of immortal cultivation!"
"When you return to the base, you may be able to ask Mr. Su to take you to experience the destruction process of the world of those cultivators, and you will understand!"
"In short, no matter how harmonious and beautiful, how prosperous and developed a world of cultivators looks, or how harmonious and united the relationship between cultivators and ordinary people is, it is all obtained by overdrawing the future and sacrificing the interests of future generations. It is a return to death before the dying world, and the last splendor before the end of civilization!"
"For people like you who don't know the truth and have received decades of brainwashing education for cultivators, some of the actions of us cultivators seem to be cruel, cold, and even tyrannical at first glance!"
"However, it's like jackals prey on rabbits. Things that seem cruel are a necessity for ecological balance, and are of great benefit to the entire grassland and even the long-term continuation of the "rabbit" race!"
Li Yao took a deep breath.
He felt that he was being surrounded by Tang Qianhe.
Of course, Tang Qianhe did not have such a theoretical level. These words should be the theoretical master among immortal cultivators. They have been meticulously crafted for hundreds of years and have been instilled into all imperial citizens since childhood.
Li Yao didn't want to continue fighting with the enemy on this theoretical battlefield without preparation. He pretended to be enlightened and nodded, and changed the topic and said: "I, I seem to understand! But what if I... eat not ordinary people, but immortal cultivators?"
"Ordinary people are just 'original people', very special high-level animals. If it doesn't matter, what if it hurts the real similar ones?" (To be continued.)
