Chapter 399
Chen Feng thought about it for about five seconds.
But in the end, he did not stand up to clearly support Ellen's point of view, but said vaguely: "Dr. Ellen's analysis is reasonable and in line with my personal guess, but there is no conclusive evidence. Dr. Ellen said that I saw some mysteries that we can't see, and that doesn't exist."
"I just synthesized the achievements of predecessors and added some of my own bold conjectures to draw these conclusions. But since I customized the title of the book" madman conjecture ", it means that these theoretical knowledge are my very arrogant bold conjectures. You still need to work together to prove or falsify them one by one in the next years."
His words were very conservative and did not stamp Ellen's views.
Of course, it shows his crazy side again.
In this way, he admitted that the relevant knowledge in the field of physics and biology in the collection of madman conjectures is conjecture without rigorous demonstration.
Skip rigorous scientific experiments and give answers directly.
He looked bloated.
If another person talks like this, he will be spit to death.
However, the mathematical problems he solved in the conjecture set have been checked one after another.
Chen's theorem checking one after another is being serialized in several top mathematical academic journals at the speed of one episode a week.
A person who can achieve such achievements in the field of mathematics at the age of 25, even if he seems to talk nonsense in other fields, people will inevitably ponder for a while before questioning.
Ellen was obviously disappointed with Chen Feng's attitude, but she didn't say much. After almost finishing the topic, she walked down and sat down with Chen Feng again.
"Mr. Chen, are you..."
After about two minutes, Ellen asked.
Chen Feng smiled and shook his head slightly, "The time is not ripe. You think more about problems from an academic perspective, but I can't just think about these. In the current era, social productivity is still insufficient, and there are still many contradictions to be solved. For example, there will be contradictions higher than competition between countries, between classes, between skin color and skin color, and even between two adjacent regions of the same country. Before we solve them Before these problems, neither ordinary people nor leaders can bear it. "
Ellen nodded.
He got it.
Previously, he thought that Chen Feng could become an excellent politician in addition to his status as a musician and scientist.
Now it seems so.
He can always stand from a higher angle and look at everything from a more comprehensive perspective.
"I didn't think about it. I thought it was a good opportunity before, so I made a hasty decision. Sorry."
Chen Feng shook his head. "It's all right. It shows that you are a professional academic worker."
"Human beings are very lucky to have a perfect leader like you."
"I'm flattered. I'm flattered."
When the two exchanged in a low voice, the semi academic and semi casual speech on the stage continued.
There are not many participants, but they are elite scholars from all over the world. People who can speak on the stage also have something.
About an hour later, Chen Feng heard an interesting argument from a big man in social science and economics.
Instead of jumping out of his professional field to demonstrate the existence of aliens, he completed a large-scale social experiment in five years.
Today is the publication day of his final report.
The meeting was also convened by him.
His social experiment includes two aspects.
First, invite up to 500000 volunteers to participate in the experience in a remote town.
The content of the experience is the regular theme of simulated life, entitled "if the end of the world will arrive in ten, one hundred and one thousand years later".
The volunteers participating in the experiment, from billionaires to tramps, perfectly simulated a small social community.
In five years, the big man held up to 21 social experiments in the town, focusing on the suspense of these three periods.
Second, as many as millions of large-scale questionnaires have been conducted, and the survey content is consistent with the theme of simulated life.
These two aspects complement each other, one is theoretical calculation, the other is practical exercise.
The experimental results are interesting and show an extremely multi-dimensional feedback.
People's feedback shows great differences according to the years of doomsday and the situation of volunteers themselves.
Assuming that the end will come in ten years, the vast majority of ordinary people who accept the theme simulated life and questionnaire survey said that it will be ten years later and they should consider it, but it can not become the whole of their life at present. They must solve the current credit card bill, and then when they have some spare money, they should quickly hoard more bullets, and then find a safe place to stay in the countryside.
If you are a bachelor, you may end up with the idea of going crazy when things really happen.
If you are a middle class, you will try to maintain your business and career, still hoard guns and ammunition, and try to form your own team.
If you are a big businessman in the upper class, you will try more vertical and horizontal cooperation on the basis of the preparations made by the middle class, and quickly pay for musk to complete the research and exploration of space travel as soon as possible.
If you have a chance, you must get a ticket.
When the problem changed to a hundred years later, people's feedback changed.
People without assets tend to think about nothing directly. It's all after their death. They don't care so much. What should they do.
One more thing is added to the middle-class big date, that is, not leaving future generations to avoid suffering. As for yourself, try to spend all your money just when you die.
The big bourgeoisie still sponsors space projects and remains enthusiastic about the future.
Then change the problem into a thousand years later.
Most people's answers are straightforward.
A thousand years? What's that? What does it have to do with me? My ashes won't be seen that day.
Just dealing with the bills, work and business in front of me is enough to burn me. Will I care about things in a thousand years?
Are you crazy?
Chen Feng was not surprised by the result.
This is the thinking mode of normal people.
When he crossed the Millennium twice before, his idea was similar to this.
Just living in reality is tired enough. There is no time to manage the flood after death.
But the scholar on the stage listed some interesting phenomena.
All classes have similar views on the end of the decade, but some people show obvious differences between the century and the millennium.
These people said that they should work harder, find ways to create more value and try to fight hard.
The number of people who say such words is small, but many differences can still be found.
For example, some big businessmen and politicians will speak beautifully, but they are so beautiful that they reveal strong hypocrisy. Their essential intention is to obtain immediate benefits through self packaging, such as money and reputation.
Others answered more constructively, immediately began to use their brains and constantly asked what form the "doomsday" would come, how to avoid it and how to fight it.
Most of these people are scholars, and they have to be very successful scholars.
The big man who made a speech on the stage finally concluded: "it took me five years to complete this social experiment, and the results are not optimistic. I think that when the crisis is far away, only those who are comfortable with food and clothing, have a considerable level of knowledge and extremely noble personal moral qualities can consider the relatively illusory sense of responsibility."
"But when the crisis is imminent, almost everyone will quickly fall into doomsday fear. We will see the collapse of social order, the streets will be full of guns and flames, robbery will become a job, and the lives of the same kind will not be respected. Maybe before the real doomsday, our population will have to fall by at least half."
The scholar is pessimistic.
Chen Feng, who has seen the doomsday scene many times, did not refute him.
First, the scholar's supposed doomsday does not exist.
According to his description, this is first and foremost an irresistible doomsday.
However, the facts that Chen Feng sees in the future prove that when science and technology are sufficiently developed, everyone can have enough food and clothing, can receive higher education, and people can obtain sufficient material conditions without plundering each other, as long as there is enough time to complete psychological construction, even in the face of an irresistible and time-predicted doomsday, mankind will still try, It is commonly known that the heart does not die until it reaches the Yellow River.
In addition, the economist from Oxford University made another mistake.
His experimental sites and questionnaire survey sites are limited to Europe and North America, and the vast majority of the respondents are native English speakers.
The scholar ignored the Chinese population, which accounts for one fifth of the world's total population.
Therefore, his seemingly significant large-scale social experiment is also biased.
Chen Feng intuitively believes that if you ask the same question to native Chinese speakers, you may get different answers.
The cultivation of a person's Three Outlooks is highly related to the environment and education he has been exposed to from small to large, as well as the type of his mother tongue.
Human thinking needs to be based on language media.
Truth and philosophy in people's minds are not empty concepts. They should also be self summarizing theories based on different language structures.
These theories constitute a person's code of conduct and will determine the direction in which he will think and make decisions when facing each choice.
When people with different mother tongue face the same problem, it is easy to show different coping styles.
There are great differences between Chinese and other language families in pronunciation, text pattern, sentence expression, logical structure, emotional display and so on.
Chinese is a fast language that tends to express accurately, which is more specific.
English is a slow language that tends to extend metaphor, which is more abstract.
Chinese speakers tend to simply focus on the present, which is practical.
Native English speakers are easy to focus on the future. They have a wide range of knowledge. Native English speakers with high sentiment are easy to focus on the future. Therefore, scholars in Europe and the United States did not disappoint when facing the "doomsday problem".
Unfortunately, the largest number of people in the world are still ordinary people with relatively narrow knowledge level.
Therefore, ordinary native English speakers are easy to immerse themselves in the fear after Abstract reinforcement, and have no time to think about any sense of responsibility.
According to Chen Feng's calculation, ordinary people with Chinese mother tongue will show great differences from ordinary people with English mother tongue.
It's not that the proportion of native Chinese speakers can be changed, but the proportion that focuses on the future and falls into the present will be much higher.
Because Chinese think questions fast enough.
When a person's overall knowledge level is narrow and his understanding of the nature of the world is not so profound and extensive, the fast structure of Chinese can make it easier to think of the future.
The slow structure of English makes people's thinking have to stay more on collecting the information they need to collect. Slow decision-making needs to solve the current problem, that is, the repayment of credit cards, and so on.
But on another level, through his observation of the future, Chen Feng believes that top scholars, whether native Chinese or native English, can actually focus on the present and the future.
When the two native speakers reach their peak in their respective academic fields, they are not divided.
These people have enough perfect knowledge and grand world outlook to jump out of their own limitations.
At this time, the influence of mother tongue structure on people's feelings will be reduced to the lowest.
In fact, there is a new logical paradox hidden here.
Are people with more knowledge more moral?
This is not the case.
Knowledge does not cultivate morality.
Morality comes from people's education from childhood to adulthood and self-learning in adulthood.
Whether knowledge is rich or not does not fully represent whether morality is noble or not.
It's just that people with lofty morality will add some additional sense of responsibility as a driving force when learning knowledge. These people will have a high degree of focus on learning knowledge and desire for new knowledge.
Therefore, the proportion of top scholars with excellent moral level is relatively high.
However, it does not mean that there are no scum among scholars, and individual cases still exist.
Although Chen Feng thought so, he was a little unconvinced, but he didn't stand up and refute each other on the spot.
When the meeting was over, he took the initiative to talk to the Oxford professor.
He said his doubts privately and invited the other party to return home with him. He also conducted this kind of social experiment in the Chinese native language department.
Oxford professor has given up this idea, but he can't refute Chen Feng's query, only saying that the funds are limited.
"There's no need to worry about the funds. I'll do it. We skip the social experiment of the town model, focus on the questionnaire survey, and strive to come to a conclusion within a week."
Oxford professor squinted, "Mr. Chen, are you sure you don't want to beautify your motherland?"
Chen Feng shook his head, "so I invite you to come instead of me. You will be fully responsible for the final statistical results. I just look at them and never intervene. It will be more convincing."
"OK."
Chen Feng turned his eyes and decided to take care of his alma mater.
"Just cooperate with Jiangnan University in Hanzhou?"
"No problem. My team hasn't been dissolved yet. When will it start?"
Chen Feng blinked, "now."
Some ordinary people seem to do great things. At the current level of Chen Feng, it is actually three or two sentences.
……
Nine days later.
The number of questionnaires in China is as high as one million, which is of great reference significance.
Looking at the result in front of him, the Oxford professor was dumbfounded.
Chen Feng, on the other hand, was very relieved and filled with emotion.
Without comparison, there is no gap.
Although the vast majority of native Chinese speakers did not show a particularly obvious tendency in the face of the crisis after a century and a millennium, they basically recognized the view of working hard, strengthening learning and trying to realize more self-worth.
Less than 30 percent of the people showed an obvious indifference.
As for the crisis ten years later, the performance of the Chinese department did not disappoint. Few Chinese showed an obvious tendency of violence in the face of this irresistible end.
In fact, there are still some, but this tendency of violence is more inclined to the "enemy" whose situation is unknown behind the doomsday.
If you really can't resist at all, most people tend to stay with their families at the last minute.
The Oxford professor was very dissatisfied with the survey results and angrily accused, "the Chinese are too hypocritical!"
Chen Feng does not deny it, "This may be hypocrisy. But if 70% of people in a huge civilization are willing to be so 'hypocritical' and spend their lives in 'hypocrisy', it has become sincerity to some extent. Isn't it? Businessmen are hypocritical to obtain more immediate benefits, but with such a large proportion of the population in China, we can gain more benefits from hypocrisy Is it beneficial? Even if it is true, will you put down your prejudices because of our 'hypocrisy'
