Chapter 1153 Professor (XVI)
Bruce curled his lips and said, "Yeah, when you see a murder, you can immediately think of a way to commit it. An 'ordinary person' killed two serial killers in three days."
As soon as these words came out, Bruce's expression stiffened, and he found that the way he spoke now was really more and more like Schiller.
Schiller spread his hands and smiled and said: "Can't ordinary people have some special skills? However, you have hit the key point. This is the biggest optimization of this version update."
"It's not just those serial killers, it's the same for you and me. Because of certain naturally superior conditions, we are separated from ordinary people."
"Serial killers have weak emotions, cannot empathize, and cannot understand the joys and sorrows of ordinary people. You have a high IQ and are very rich, and you are destined to drift away from ordinary society. And I was born with a spiritual side. With the disease, I can’t understand the world in a normal way.”
"We are all separated from the lives of ordinary people. We can only speculate on how they live through imagination. Even if you give up your identity as a rich man and go deep into the bottom, due to differences in IQ and brain structure, it will be difficult for you to completely to see the world from an ordinary person’s perspective.”
"In your opinion, how could someone not be able to learn calculus? How could someone be unable to memorize three books overnight? How could someone be unable to understand the mechanical structure of a machine? However, many ordinary people just can't. ”
"So, you start to constantly wonder, are they really stupid, or are they just unwilling to think hard?" Schiller looked into Bruce's eyes, but there was no longer the indifferent smile in his eyes. I mean, this shows that he is not mocking anyone.
But Schiller's words were still to the point. Bruce looked at Schiller silently and admitted that he had indeed thought about this issue.
When faced with situations where ordinary people are puzzled by certain problems, Bruce really feels puzzled, because in his opinion, this is not a problem at all, not even a problem, as long as he thinks about it for a moment , you can get the answer.
So why can't they come up with an answer? Are their brains really trying their best? They show that they don't care about something. Are they unable to think of an answer, or are they just too lazy to think about it?
"I guess the answer you came up with should be both." Schiller said the answer in Bruce's mind, and he continued: "Some people can't think of it, some people are too lazy to think about it, and some people are too lazy to think about it. People pretend to be too lazy to think about it because they can’t think of it.”
"But there is no doubt that their performance builds your impression of ordinary people, who are chaotic, confused and a mess anyway."
"For them, the whole world is full of mysteries. They can't get the answers they want, they can't do the things they want to do, they don't know where they come from, and they don't know where they are going. They are like confused ghosts wandering in the vast land. ”
Bruce found that Schiller's eyes had become very different. In the past, when he looked at Schiller's eyes, he always felt that he was seeing an endless abyss. Schiller's eyes were always very deep, as if they were filled with countless unexplored thoughts. An endless secret, like an endless dam in a stormy ocean.
But now, Schiller's eyes have become very clear. The words he wants to say and the emotions he wants to express can be seen to the end at a glance, like pebbles beside a garden pond.
"But that's not the case." Schiller turned around and gave an answer that surprised Bruce. In fact, Bruce had already agreed with Schiller's last sentence. In his opinion, ordinary people's lives , it is indeed like that, confused and ignorant, only looking at the present.
Schiller sat back at his desk, with light streaming in through the floor-to-ceiling windows next to his desk. He looked at Bruce intently and said:
"You go to the slums and see the scavengers struggling to survive on the food and clothing line, and the dock workers working hard just for the sake of the lake. Their lives, compared to the lives of your wealthy people, are simply miserable. Their IQs And memory is incomparable to you.”
"So, you feel that it is so pitiful that they only have these sufferings in their lives, as if they are walking in hell. You feel that they must be boring, stupid, and uncreative."
Schiller shook his head slightly and said: "The world of ordinary people is far more colorful than you imagine. Although everyone running on the road has their own fatigue, they also have their own hopes, and although they often feel pain, But there is always happiness to be found, each is boring in its own way, but each also has its own humor.”
"They each have their own characteristics and strengths. They appear to be very mediocre in many aspects, but occasionally a flash of inspiration flashes through them. They have no chance to embark on the road of art, but they can always use their rich emotions to , creating amazing works of art.”
"They don't know much, but they are extremely easy to be satisfied. They often feel frustrated and sad, but the solution is to simply fall asleep."
“A ragpicker might be happy because he passed by a video store and heard his favorite song, and a longshoreman might be happy because he tied a beautiful knot today.”
"Bruce..." When Schiller called Bruce's name, Bruce saw another person on his face, who was once his nightmare, maybe his friend, the one who always wanted to make him smile. people.
"You think that ordinary people laugh because they have no other way to deal with the sufferings in life except laughing. But this view is too serious and arrogant. Is there a possibility that they are just happy? That’s all?”
Schiller pursed his lips, showed a big smile to Bruce, and said, "You pity them because their material life is not superior enough, and they also pity you because you are rarely sincerely happy."
Schiller tilted his body, leaned on the armrest on one side, looked at Bruce and asked: "What do you think about laziness?"
"I don't like laziness," Bruce replied.
"Indeed, we all don't like laziness, so a long time ago, when my thinking palace was first established, I did not have the personality trait of laziness."
"Fundamentally speaking, laziness is actually a manifestation of mental loss of control. For ordinary people, the time they can fully concentrate on is limited. When the concentration time reaches the limit, they will instinctively start Distracted."
"However, the vast majority of people cannot reach the limit of concentration time. Before that, something will interfere with them, causing them to wander off in advance and distracting their attention. This kind of thing is called laziness."
"If a person is very tired and goes to rest, this is not called laziness, it is called self-protection. And if a person is not tired, mentally and physically healthy, but just doesn't want to do something, it may be rejection and avoidance. "
"If a person is not tired and wants to do something, but in the process of doing it, he finds that he is always unable to concentrate and go all out. There is always something blocking him from giving his best effort. , this kind of thing is called laziness.”
"The fundamental reason is that ordinary people cannot accurately control their own thinking. They cannot make the thinking parts that generate power work at maximum efficiency, while the parts that create obstacles do not work at all."
"But we can do it." Schiller gently tapped the table with his hand and looked at Bruce. Bruce walked over and sat down opposite him. He also wanted to know what Schiller's personality was. How it was produced.
"Being able to block one's lazy thinking is the key to a person's execution ability. Some people are obviously very intelligent and have no problems with the plans they make, but they always give up halfway and fail to accomplish anything. It's because they don't have the ability to do anything. Ways to block lazy thinking in your mind.”
"On the contrary, for people like you and me, maybe it's because of our innate super-high IQ, or maybe it's because of our innate mental illness and laziness, which doesn't exist for us."
"As long as our physical and mental conditions have not reached their limits and we want to do something, we will be able to execute all the parts consistently and accurately."
"Our thinking is like a precise machine. Whichever part we let rotate, that part will rotate. There will never be any part that we can't feel or don't know where it comes from that suddenly rotates to hinder our thinking. action."
"So, there was no such thing as laziness in my mind, and when my personality was shattered and countless fragments of traits were produced, I naturally didn't carry this fragment with me."
"Then when did you show up?" Bruce asked.
"After I received professional psychotherapy." Schiller replied, and he went on to explain to Bruce: "Before this, I didn't know what other people's situations were like. I thought that the whole world was like Me too."
"Therefore, when some people give up halfway, but then feel regret after giving up, I feel very confused. I don't understand, if they want to do it, why don't they do it? Why do they give up after they do it? Why do you regret giving up?”
"I didn't understand what was stopping them, and then a doctor told me that it was actually laziness." Schiller stared into Bruce's eyes and said, "He also told me that not being lazy is not a completely good thing. ”
“Parts that generate motivation can produce a variety of positive emotions in the process of completing a thing, such as excitement and anticipation before starting to do something, composure and calmness during the process, and after the task is completed. sense of accomplishment.”
"When these emotions arise, our brains need to respond accordingly. When the excitement is too high, it cools down, when calm thinking leads to low emotions, it adds fire, and when the sense of accomplishment appears, it cools down. Self-affirmation, giving higher value.”
"Lazy parts will cause people to have various negative emotions in the process of not completing something, such as hesitation before starting to do something, boredom during the process, regret after giving up halfway, and Denial of self.”
“When these negative emotions occur, the brain also needs to respond accordingly, for example, urging when there is excessive hesitation, stabilizing the mind when bored, comforting oneself when regretful, and striving for balance when self-denial. "
"If a person only has power-generating parts and can only produce positive emotions, then his brain is always trying to balance the emotions of positive work, and he is likely to overcorrect."
"For example, if the brain is always suppressing excitement and expectations, and this part of the ability is particularly strong, it is very likely that when the excitement and expectations are not so high, it will erase all positive emotions, and people will always be in a state of confusion. In a state of depression and despair.”
"In a state of rational thinking and low emotion, raising the emotion too high can lead to irritable or even violent behavior."
"When a sense of achievement occurs, excessive self-affirmation leads to arrogance, narcissism, and inability to listen to other people's opinions."
Schiller looked at Bruce with a smile and said with emphasis: "People like that are scary, aren't they, 'Bruce'?"
