The Oxford professor first wanted to refute out of habit, saying that the Western world had no prejudice against the East.

But he thought about it for a while, and then thought about the identity of the person in front of him, and felt that the sophistry was meaningless.

"This stereotype cannot be let go. But it seems a bit biased to summarize the differences between the Eastern and Western world simply by using language structure."

Chen Feng shook his head, "Of course we can't just talk about language structure, but Eastern and Western scholars have written a lot about the analysis of civilizational differences between the two modes of thinking and explained it very thoroughly. My personal opinion is that all current situations cannot be separated from the historical isolation.

in conclusion."

"We do not deny the backwardness of the East in the past few hundred years. But we can assume a scenario. If the East had never fallen behind, during the first industrial revolution, the East and the West would have maintained a high degree of information exchange. What do you think the world will be like now?"

Professor Oxford thought for a long time and felt that he couldn't imagine it.

Of course, it's possible that he didn't want to answer.

Chen Feng smiled and said, "I can tell you a more 'hypocritical' answer. We can even conduct another questionnaire survey. I believe that more than 80% of native Chinese speakers will choose the same answer. If the East had not fallen behind,

The world will be better, and peace will no longer be a fantasy. Maybe a community with a shared future for mankind has already become a reality, and humans are now seriously considering the colonization of Mars."

Oxford professor: "That's because you are beautifying your own humanity. You are just doing a good job in ideological work."

Chen Feng spread his hands: "I have previously analyzed with you the differences in the fast and slow thinking structures of Chinese and English. Don't you realize that the worldview of native Chinese speakers with fast thinking is difficult to be shaped by others? I admit that the main circulation in all countries

All information must be systematically processed.”

"But fast-structure native speakers acquire information faster, and the information they acquire every day is larger. The positions of people who process information are not entirely consistent, so even if what we receive is still processed information, the processing

The direction is diversified and dialectical.”

"In the Chinese-speaking world, no one or any force can accurately shape the worldview of native Chinese speakers. We can have the current national self-confidence and form the current worldview not because of who shapes us, but because we have inherited it.

Five thousand years of civilized history, and a large amount of information that each of us absorbs more actively every day."

"The self-confidence and self-discipline of native Chinese speakers come from the large amount of diversified information they quickly absorb from childhood to adulthood. Chinese civilization is famous for its construction, and it is precisely because we can quickly complete the accumulation of basic knowledge as we grow.

, begin to create wealth for society and civilization."

"We ordinary people can also focus on the present more down-to-earth, instead of always thinking about the illusory future. On the contrary, native English speakers should obviously better plan for the future, but now they are completely immersed in the trap of excessive consumption.

, whose fault is it?"

The Oxford professor expressed dissatisfaction, "If the East leads the world, there will still be plunder, exploitation and oppression."

Chen Feng: "Plundering is indeed one of human nature. But the people who commit plundering are different, and the results are also different. A civilization that is good at construction often does not think about plundering others, but mutual benefit and win-win. We must also

We have to take a big bite, but we will leave enough room for development for the plundered people."

"Under our model, the wealth of the entire community with a shared future for mankind is amplified in value, rather than simply being transferred from area a to area b. Our exploitation is benign exploitation. It can no longer be called exploitation, but a win-win situation."

, which can also be called sustainable development.”

The poor old Oxford professor found to his embarrassment that he could not defend himself against the young man in front of him.

He was a little angry at first, but he quickly calmed down.

At this time, it was Chen Feng's status in the academic world that had the effect.

Others will always be more tolerant of his words.

After completing the questionnaire survey report in Chinese-speaking areas, the Oxford professor's project was declared a great success.

But he was not happy, and even refused Chen Feng's invitation to further expand the survey sample to 10 million people, and returned to China with his team.

Chen Feng didn't mean to be sarcastic, he enthusiastically put the other party on the plane, and said that Xingfeng Research Institute would also establish subordinate research institutions in social sciences and economics, and then sent the other party a very formal invitation to join.

Letter, polite and impeccable.

After returning to the company, Chen Feng scanned the international news and organized his thoughts more seriously.

Although he is very tough-talking in front of others and praises his native Chinese in various ways, he is actually very aware that as a civilized leader, he cannot just look at the shortcomings of others and ignore his own shortcomings.

You must be more dialectical and rational when thinking about problems yourself.

In fact, both languages ​​have their own advantages and disadvantages, and both have their own inevitable birth.

There is no reproductive isolation between human races regardless of skin color. Human beings share a genetic system and their brain structures are almost identical. However, in the course of historical evolution, two completely different types of language structures have subtly emerged.

There is only one reason, the instinctive need of civilization.

This is driven by human competitive instinct.

Two language structures with completely different speeds have their own advantages and disadvantages.

In a slow-thinking society, people at the bottom are often more ignorant.

Because the information acquisition speed is slow and the time cost of information acquisition is high.

However, native English speakers engaged in academic and professional work can use more accumulated study time to make up for the shortcomings of low learning efficiency and acquire a stronger knowledge system.

Slow means they have more time to think carefully during the learning process.

In a fast-thinking society, people at the bottom have easier access to basic information, and the people's intellectual enlightenment is relatively higher.

But the disadvantage is that if you are a non-professional, the multi-faceted knowledge structure of the fast-thinking people is not solid, commonly known as the common problem.

Because the fast-paced knowledge system is built too quickly and the foundation is not strong enough.

It is easy for native Chinese speakers to learn something in a superficial way, but if they want to become impeccable in their knowledge, they need to spend more time consolidating the knowledge system and slowly laying a solid foundation.

To understand it from the perspective of quantum thinking is that the rapidly established small spiral of fragmented memory needs to be repeated and consolidated more times to form a more stable pattern.

This time to re-establish the foundation is actually not much shorter than that of native English speakers, basically the same.

Some geniuses may show individual differences, but Chen Feng will consider issues from a more comprehensive overall framework.

Therefore, at the level of basically qualified middle- and upper-level intellectuals, the proportion of fast-thinking expert scholars is higher.

But at the level of top intellectuals, the efficiency dividend gained by the fast thinking structure has been spat out.

Currently, the proportion of native Chinese speakers among the world's top scientists is low, even far less than one-fifth of the population.

A more external explanation for this gap is the difference in national conditions.

Because China, the main body of fast thinking, is currently playing the role of a catch-up, and in the process of catching up, it always needs to face the scientific blockade constructed by the slow thinking society.

Relative backwardness in many fields is an objective fact and does not change due to personal will.

Most scholars who were born in a Chinese-speaking environment must first break through the blockade before they can obtain real top-level knowledge. Fast-thinking China has one more dilemma than slow-thinking Europe and the United States.

A more idealistic view is Chen Feng’s so-called theory that language determines thinking patterns.

In the social structure of Fast Thinking, the basic knowledge of ordinary people is better, but at the top level, Fast Thinking will experience a certain degree of efficiency attenuation.

Theoretically, if a fast-thinking native speaker has a relatively calm personality, he or she can lay a solid foundation step by step in the process of learning and accumulating knowledge like a slow-thinking native speaker.

But this also requires a calm and tenacious personality. Therefore, proportionally speaking, slow thinking does tend to produce middle-level intellectuals, and leads to gaps in the number and proportion of top intellectuals.

In terms of the number of top intellectuals, those with fast thinking native language structure lag slightly behind.

The reasons are very complex, and there are many aspects. Chen Feng can only stubbornly believe that no matter what his mother tongue is, the difficulty of reaching the end of the era of knowledge is the same.

It's just that the complex external environment in the real world ultimately led to such a result, so he can only view the world with both dialectical and idealistic ideas.

He believes that the most perfect and labor-saving shortcut is to perfectly integrate the environments of the two languages ​​so that future generations can think without distinction between fast and slow structures during their growth.

This is an innate fusion.

There is one of the most vivid cases around him.

Ryan, a young scholar who grew up in a bilingual environment since childhood and whose mother tongue is not distinguishable between Chinese and English.

It is true that Ryan's success is inseparable from his personal talent and hard work, but his existence at least gave Chen Feng confidence.

At the same time, Chen Feng also wants to pursue the integration of acquired skills.

A true scholar can break free from the constraints of his innate mother tongue environment.

He grew up in a Chinese-speaking environment when he was young, and entered an English-speaking environment during his growth stage. Then he mastered English with extremely strong learning ability, and combined the advantages of the two languages ​​into his own brain.

This kind of acquired perfect fusion can select more representatives, such as Li Zhengdao, Yang Zhenning, Ding Zhaozhong, Tong Dizhou and others.

Chen Feng thinks this is not bad, at least it provides a new possibility.

But some people may question him, express dissatisfaction with his views, and sarcastically ask him, "Do you think it is impossible to become a scholar in a purely Chinese-speaking environment?"

Chen Feng could only say helplessly, yes, but the quantity and quality are not satisfactory enough.

And the meaning of globalization lies in integration. If you insist on withdrawing from integration and only stick to your own language, is that not reversing history and closing the country?

Every language represents a precious thought, and every thought has its own value.

Diversified languages ​​are precious treasures left to mankind in the process of civilization development and evolution. Do you want to give up the wealth you have acquired to promote extreme nationalism?

That is of course not advisable.

The world's outstanding academic treatises are written in both Chinese and English.

Do you only read Chinese and not English?

Then what you see will always be one-sided.

Do you still expect to go to university to become a scholar?

At this time, the gangsters had something to say again.
