Chapter 1251 Reason
Dragon-slaying illusion.
Some things, in fact, are often terrible when you think about them carefully...
This is what is called terrifying thinking...
For Wang Yu, the reason why he made the wisest judgment in the shortest time is that it is nothing more than the word rationality!
Yes, sensible!
Reason is a very interesting thing, it is related to people's sensory cognitive ideas. Human reason seems to be cold and ruthless, and it always goes against people's feelings. However, in many cases, human reason can help people avoid many troubles...
Just like the widely circulated story between the farmer and the snake...
The farmer saved the snake and was then bitten to death by the snake...
In essence, this story clearly illustrates the difference between sentiment and reason. Everyone has the so-called compassion. For most kind people, it is often difficult to really watch a life pass away. The farmer is undoubtedly a kind person, so when he saw that the snake was about to be frozen to death, he chose to save the snake. In essence, this is actually an emotional act...
Snakes are not harmless animals after all, snakes are cold-blooded after all, and snakes are going to bite people after all...
This is the eternal truth...
From a sensory perspective, there is nothing controversial about the behavior of a farmer saving a snake. However, if you think from a rational perspective, such behavior does have great problems...
The reason is very simple. For the farmer, he himself did not clearly consider the potential harm that the snake might bring to him. Therefore, he himself thought he was doing the right thing, but in fact he got a wrong result...
From a certain perspective, if you encounter a snake that is about to freeze to death, in a snowy environment, the more rational way is to ignore it and treat it as if it is not seen. However, if you consider it from the perspective of absolute interests, it should be to kill it and make it into a snake soup. From the perspective of rationality, this choice is undoubtedly a more reasonable way...
However, in this world, reason and human emotions are often very contradictory, and this is why various conflicts often arise between the laws and morals of the human world!
Just like in many Hong Kong dramas, criminals who practice the way for heaven are often punished, while those who commit crimes can get away with it. In essence, this situation is a contradiction between emotion and reason. Law and morality are unified most of the time, but it is inevitable that sometimes, people's feelings and reality often go against each other...
In other words, even though I know I shouldn’t do something, I can’t help but do it for various reasons…
And this is also the contradiction between emotion and reason!
Just like the famous train diversion problem, two groups of children play on the train tracks. A group of children with more people, a group of children with less people, and a group of children with more people play where they play is the track that the train originally wanted to pass, while a place where children with less people play is an abandoned track. According to normal logic, the abandoned track where children with less people play is safe in itself. The train itself will not pass through this abandoned track, and their behavior itself is not wrong...
For drivers, this is a difficult choice. If you choose the original track, it will undoubtedly cause most people to encounter danger. However, if you turn to an abandoned track, the safety of most people is certainly guaranteed, but for children who originally played on the abandoned track and did not make any mistakes, it is a huge unfairness...
It can be said that in the face of such a choice, it is a typical dilemma. Intellectually, sacrificing the interests of a small number of people in exchange for the survival of most people should be taken for granted. However, emotionally, because of the mistakes of most people, sacrificing a small number of innocent people is unacceptable in human emotions!
And this is precisely the biggest contradiction between reason and emotion. Some things, even though they know that they are right, they cannot do this, while some things, even though they know that they are wrong, they can only go with the flow...
Of course, this is actually the vast majority of the strong men in the true sense, who are extremely rational!
They may have a sensual side, and they may have some irrational behaviors, but these irrational and emotional behaviors are often based on an absolutely rational state!
Just like in many TV series, some big bosses in companies are rich and wealthy, and when they are holding a very important business meeting, they may call him home for dinner...
It sounds like this is a very irrational and ridiculous behavior. It is very unreasonable to leave your negotiating partner behind and have a dinner with your daughter in the face of important business negotiations...
However, in fact, such behavior itself is still driven by reason!
For ordinary people, wealth is often more meaningful than family. The wife and children in the family have to make money themselves to support them. In order to support the family, it is natural to work hard outside. It is even normal for them to be able to accompany their family on business trips all over the world. After all, only with a certain material foundation can you talk about family life...
However, for the rich, the situation is just the opposite, because they already have almost inexhaustible wealth. When they reach this stage, the warmth and harmonious life of their families actually exceed the meaning of wealth to them in terms of values. For them, the priority of eating with their families and children is actually beyond their work...
And because of this, their behavior is still an ideal rather than a sentimental behavior...
It's still a reasonable approach!
A rational person may make people feel a little annoying, and it will make people feel as cold as ice and difficult to get close to...
But most people cannot deny one thing. That is, although this type of people is not very popular, the choices they make are often proven to be correct in the end!
Many people deny this type of people, in essence, are just simply unable to overcome that level of emotion...
Just like the behavior of a policeman sending an undercover agent, from a rational perspective, it is undoubtedly the simplest and most effective way to disintegrate a criminal organization in the shortest time. However, from the perspective of emotions, the undercover agent is itself a very inhuman profession, which can easily make people lose themselves and even have life danger. Many people will think that this method is actually a disguised compromise with criminals...
However, the undercover profession still exists, and is still tirelessly eliminating the criminal groups in this world, and is still silently making its own contribution to the security of human society...
To give a simple example, someone starts a company and becomes a boss. Then a friend who used to share weal and woe asks to come to find a job. The boss arranges a position for his friend that is neither high nor low. However, this friend is living in the company and waiting to die. Faced with such a friend, from a rational point of view, of course, kicking out of the company is the best choice, but from a emotional point of view, such a method may hurt the relationship...
From the perspective of an outsider, rational choice is undoubtedly a better approach. As the saying goes, when the decision is constantly in trouble, sometimes the practice that looks so tidy and even inhumane on the surface may bring the best results. On the contrary, sometimes the dragging actions may make the situation worse and worse...

Dragon-slaying illusion.
When a person's reason and feelings can be taken into account at the same time, a person can often make rational judgments easily, but if a person's reason and emotions go against each other, it is often very difficult to make a rational judgment!
Just like the bloody plots in many TV series, a woman falls in love with a liar, no matter how people around her advise or prove it, this woman is mostly unheard of. She often only needs to be at the end to understand that she has been deceived...
In fact, in essence, the vast majority of people who were deceived actually subconsciously realized the fact that they were deceived very early. It was just that this fact and their expected imagination showed their thoughts, so they would subconsciously ignore various doubts and immerse themselves in their fantasies. In short, they were unwilling to accept reality and unwilling to think about the possibilities that they least want to see for themselves...
It's like an ostrich burying his head in the sand...
There is a saying that goes - you should never try to wake up someone who pretends to be asleep!
In fact, many people are like this. Because of this, various so-called situations of constant interruption are created, and in the end, many things that can be solved will often become a mess...
Wang Yu has always been a rational person...
He rarely feels happy about something, and rarely feels frustrated about something...
It is because of this that when he sits on the throne at the peak of the world, he can still maintain enough rationality to think and judge...
And when he thought about it, he already understood that the so-called world of cultivation he was in was just an illusory world!
In fact, I am afraid that I won’t think about many things. As long as I think about them, I can always figure them out clearly!
Just like a spy or something in reality, if you simply look for a needle in a haystack, it is often difficult to achieve any results. However, if you have a fixed target in advance to investigate and monitor the other party's every move, it is easy to find the clues in the other party's actions!
The basis for Wang Yu to make a judgment is actually very, very simple...
There is no other reason, because the power of this world does not exceed his understanding!
Yes. He can understand the power of this world!
He can understand this world. In essence, it is enough to show that this world is an illusory world!
It may sound a bit contradictory, but in fact it is exactly that!
How vast a world is, how difficult it is to truly understand...
It is because of this that no matter what the world is created, his realm and power must be a shocking existence!
However, Wang Yu was able to understand the composition of this world. In essence, it means that this world itself is not a real world!
This is a concept that is difficult to express in words, but if it is simply put, it is thin!
Yes, thin!
In Wang Yu's perception, this world is too thin!
Whether it is the power system or the cultivation method, it seems too thin, direct or even simple!
And this is exactly the biggest flaw in this world!
Any different world will have completely different world structures. Under different power systems, the complexity of the world structure will also be completely different!
Take the real world as an example. If the real world structure is one, then worlds such as martial arts world will probably have a level of 15, while those magical and fairy tale worlds will have about two to three strengths...
This is also the so-called concept of high martial arts and low martial arts. The stronger the individual force of a world, the more complex and profound the rules of this world must be, and the more difficult it is to understand...
Simply put, just like primitive people who came to modern society, they would definitely not be able to understand the principles of aircraft and cannons, and they would definitely not be able to understand why humans can fly in the sky and travel through the waves on the sea...
By the same token, if modern people arrive in a world of cultivation, it will inevitably be difficult to understand how the cultivators gain the power they have cultivated, and it will inevitably be difficult to understand why people can live forever...
The so-called Tao can be said to be extraordinary. If a modern person can understand such a Tao in the world of cultivation clearly and clearly, to a certain extent, it is enough to show that the structure of this world itself is illusory!
The thinner a world is, the stronger the feeling of emptiness it brings to people. On the contrary, the more flesh and blood a world is, the stronger the satisfaction and reality the world brings to people...
In fact, from the perspective of online novels, this is the case!
To give a very simple example, some online writers feel that the world they depict is magnificent, the protagonist in the depiction is very powerful, and he has the ability to destroy the world. Especially after the abortion of mortals, many fairy tale novels based on the mortal cultivation system are popular, but only a few are truly popular. What is the reason?
After all, I think too simple about the structure of a world. I always let the protagonist defeat his opponents, and always let the protagonist quickly improve his level. I always turn on plug-ins to affect the character's character and behavior in the story. I often intersperse all kinds of unreasonable bloody plots in the novel...
Every reader will have a ruler in his heart, which is their understanding of a type of novel. If a novel is more meticulous than their cognition, it will be sought after by them. On the contrary, if a novel is too simple, it will naturally not be favored...
After all, it's just a matter of pleasure...
How can a novel make readers absolutely happy? Many people misunderstand that the protagonist must be strong enough!
In fact, in essence, this is not the case. The protagonist should be reasonable, legal and powerful, and the structure of the world must be absolutely rigorous. The more rigorous the world structure is, the more likely the protagonist is to be satisfied. Instead of playing an online game casually, giving away a magic weapon when opening a server. That will only make readers feel that the online game company has a problem, and will not feel that it is so refreshing...
Just like official novels, from the perspective of the strength of the protagonist, official novels cannot be compared with superpowers or urban immortal novels, but from the refreshing point of view, they are no less than these two categories. Because official novels are built on the basis of our real world and will not have power beyond the real category, so they can often make readers feel the greatest sense of reality. On the contrary, novels such as fairy tale are often easily collapsed because they are fictional products, and many of the principles are based on the author's imagination, so there will naturally inevitably be various plot loopholes and flaws, which will make readers doubt the reality of the world and reduce the readers' reading experience...
And for Wang Yu, this is the illusion at this moment!
In the last world of reincarnation, he became a cultivator with earth-shaking magic power, but he did not find any real insight into this cultivation system to improve himself. He just completed the cultivation in a straightforward manner. Everything seemed to be natural and simple...
For others, they may accept this powerful power without hesitation, but for Wang Yu, he feels like he is reading a second- and third-rate immortal cultivation novel!
Yes, the feeling of a second- and third-rate immortal cultivation novel!
Unknown practice techniques, unknown treasures, unknown masters of heaven and earth...
Everything seems to be taken for granted, but if you look at it carefully, you will find that the power system in this world is actually a very, very simple structure...
