Chapter 2070 houseoflord (eight)

  There has never been a shortage of people who can speak good things in history. With their clever tongues, they can say that the truth is wrong, and then that the mistake is the truth. To put it in a simple and clear sentence, it means deliberately inverting right and wrong and confusing one's eyes. On the surface, there are many reasons, but there are problems in each of their arguments.

  In the history of the East, there is a famous "white horse is not a horse", which comes from Gongsunlong's theory of white horses. This Gongsunlong was eloquent and had once been the doorman of the Emperor Zhao Guoping, and he belonged to a rare master among the hundreds of scholars.

  Tao begets one, one life two, two begets three, three begets everything. Connecting the intangible concepts in the mind to the tangible things is what the masters do, through analysis to make a thing famous and real.

  There is a story in Confucius’ classics. One day, the king of Chu went out hunting and lost his bow. His subordinates planned to look for it. The king of Chu said why bother to look for it. The bow lost by the king of Chu must have been picked up by the people of Chu. This was originally meant to promote the benevolence and righteousness of the King of Chu, but Confucius said that although the King of Chu didn't mind a subject winning the bow, he regarded the king and his subjects as "Chu people," but his heart was not broad enough. Those who lose the bow are people, and those who win the bow are also people. Everyone is the same as anyone in the world. They are all equal people. So why add a "Chu" person?

Gongsunlong believed that Confucius separated the Chu people from the people, so he also separated the white horses and horses. It happened that he did not want to pay tariffs when he passed the Hangu Pass, and then he thought that the "white horse is not a horse" theory fooled the gatekeepers of the city. .

  Horse refers to an animal in the shape of a horse, white refers to the color, and the two are different concepts. For example, if a piece of drawing paper is white, it has no color. The horse originally has color. If the horse has no color, it will only have the shape of a horse. For example, use a carbon pen to outline its lines, but does white have no color?

  If the white horse is a horse, then the yellow horse is distinguished from the horse. This is a yellow horse not a horse.

  A little dizzy. This is normal. It is a strange thing if you don’t dizzy. Only the soldiers who are stunned will let the tax-resistant Gongsunlong go.

  The sophistry of the West is different from that of the East. There was once an advertisement in the Parisian newspapers. As long as everyone spends 25 centimes, they can get one time, which is economical and not exhausting. An Englishman named Brown immediately sent 25 centimes, and soon he received a reply "Sir, please lie down on your bed quietly, and remember that our earth is rotating, on the latitude of Paris." , You have to run tens of thousands of kilometers every day and night."

Latitude can be divided into astronomical latitude and terrestrial latitude, but it is a calibrated spherical coordinate system like longitude. When humans are still on the horizon, longitude and latitude represent the coordinates of the position of celestial bodies on the celestial sphere, and humans can distinguish directions on the sea and on land. It also uses the stars in the sky.

When mankind accepts that the earth is round, there will be "Latitude of Paris." When mankind accepts that it is not geocentric but heliocentric, humans can also accept that "the earth rotates, and you have to run tens of thousands of kilometers every day and night." The "facts" too.

The ancient Greeks already thought that the earth was round, and measured the circumference of the earth by measuring the distance between Alexandria and Aswan. In the Middle Ages, some people used how people stand on the other side of the earth, instead of falling and letting the ground be flat. In terms of the earth, if it weren’t for Newton’s universal gravitation, and Columbus discovered the new world, humans might still be stuck in a logically self-consistent darkness.

But there are unreasonable people in this world. Gongsun Long convinced countless great scholars to lose, but he couldn't convince the gatekeeper. The gatekeeper nodded repeatedly: "You made a lot of sense, but you still gave the tax. Bar."

Although Xunzi is a critic of human nature, he is also Confucian. He believes that Yao, Shun, and Yu are the best at enlightenment in the world. However, according to Xunzi’s Zheng Theory, people like Yao’s son Dan cannot be educated, just like those who are good at hunting cannot shoot arrows with perverse bows and cannot shoot targets with curved arrows. There will always be one or two. Root rotten wood cannot be carved.

Edgeworth thought very well. The new United Kingdom promulgated by the United Kingdom in 1800 announced the establishment of the United Kingdom. This law not only announced the matter, but also abolished the Irish Parliament and merged the members of the Irish Parliament into London’s parliament.

  Americans became independent because of "no taxation without representation." The key is that the Union Act of 1801 declared that the Irish church and the Church of England would permanently unite and form a church. This led to five-sixths of Irish protests.

  The more you believe in vampires and witchcraft, the more you believe in religion. Edgworth popularized science in a nearly missionary style. He also established a small town named after his surname in Ireland.

  Which one is more worthy of the stake, a heretic or a witch? Many druids are women, they are educated, even in ancient Rome, people once hoped that women can learn from the druids.

Even if no female druids were actually burned to death as witches, their writings were obliterated, either directly burned or their names were obliterated, and their research results became others, especially male books. Content.

  Women are required to obey and be full of maternal love like Maria, but Protestants do not recognize Maria. They believe that only the Son is innocent.

Quite a few people believe that women are born with original sins. Let’s not mention whether women are made of Adam’s ribs. After listening to Satan’s rhetoric and stealing the forbidden fruit, the guilt of being driven out of the Garden of Eden will definitely not escape. There are really women who will. Believe this.

As for the description of Lilith in "The Book of Radiance", let alone the description of Erasmus Darwin’s name is very interesting, because Erasmus is one of the main representatives of the Reformation, which is the one who wrote "I hope that fate will give me freedom, just as nature gave me" the priest.

   And Darwin is the author of "Evolution", and Erasmus Darwin is also Charles Darwin's grandfather.

The theory of evolution makes human beings no longer special, so that people no longer regard the difference between animals and plants, animals and humans as absolute and sacred, and humans are no longer the creators, instead of God, to manage the world it creates. The "darling".

  The problem encountered by Edgeworth is very complicated, it is beyond the range of Georgianna's ability.

  Like this analogy, if you want to do business with British people, you don’t necessarily need to know English. British people can also learn French. However, the bills, especially the kind of acceptance bills exchanged at the acceptance bank in the UK, must understand English, because the printed bills must be in "written" way, and the bills will become invalid if you fill in the wrong bills, and you will have to bear the loss yourself.

  You also need to understand the UK’s Bills Act. What if the acceptance bill cannot be paid due to the failure of the merchant bank? You can go to the Bank of England. Merchant banks have very limited reserves, but they have a very large business network. When they have problems, the Bank of England, which is a "government bank", will use its gold reserves to deal with problems when the merchant bank has problems. Rediscount and other businesses.

  Maybe you need to pay a little more handling fee, but it is better than turning a bill of exchange into waste paper. Where does the Bank of England gold come from?

  1, colony

  2, bank coupons

  The currency in circulation on the market is no longer Jin Jinni, but paper currency, and gold is kept in the vault of the bank.

  The British navy searches for precious metals from all over the world to enrich the Bank of England’s gold reserves. As long as a large number of importers do not leave, Britain’s status as a financial power is difficult to shake.

It is not difficult to break this situation, and it does not necessarily need to improve the export tax. The UK is a maritime country, and the European continent is a continental country. Set up a financial center in places like Geneva, and then establish a continental law against the bill law of the United Kingdom. Department-based bill law is not enough.

  What is competing here is the status of international bill law settlement. In addition to being a credit tool, bills also have the function of negotiable securities. Should the printed letters of this civil law system be in French or German?

  World languages ​​are not determined by the number of people, but by their international influence. Under the impact of this power, how many native Gaelic languages ​​can be spoken in Ireland?

  The language of a nation has been obliterated, and the meaning of the pronunciation of this word is forgotten. For example, what does the word "horse" represent?

  When night falls, the black horse merges with the surrounding darkness. Does it have a color?

  Another person also passed the Hangu Pass, that is, Mr. Meng Changjun, who was a thief who was a roar of **** and dog. He was riding the night and passed the pass before the sun rises.

The color itself is because there is light, and we feel it through our eyes and brain. A blind person without light perception, the world he sees is pitch black, and white light is a composite of multiple lights. It is actually one. A color, but black is not a color.

  There is another person, his name is Lao Tzu, and he has also passed Hangu Pass, but he is going west, contrary to Meng Changjun, who went east.

In addition to leaving "the Tao is the Tao is very Tao, the name is very famous", he also left a famous saying "Believe words are not beautiful, good words are not believed, those who argue are not good, and those who are good do not argue", which means that they are good at debating. Not a good person.

  There is a story about a blind man touching an elephant. You can touch a horse while blindfolded. What color does it matter?

  According to Gongsunlong’s understanding, white horses painted on white paper are not considered horses, so are black horses and yellow horses painted on paper considered?

  They have the shape of a horse, and they also have colors, which are completely in line with his logic and definition of horses.

  "Zhuangzi·Tianxia" recorded the shadows of flying birds. Gongsun Long's school felt that the shadows of flying birds remained motionless at every moment, just like the animation on a jog wheel. They were frozen when the handle was not shaken.

  But the birds in the sky are moving, and the shadows on the ground are only the shadows of birds moving in time and space. It has the shape of a bird, just like high-speed photography, and is not moving at a given moment.

  The most important and controversial things in the Middle Ages are universals and particulars. Universals refer to things with the same characteristics. In the wizarding world, it is the difference between humans and beasts. Veevas were forcibly classified as beasts.

  This is unreasonable from a metaphysical point of view, so what is the reason for this classification?

  If Georgian is still a teacher, she will ask to write a paper, but she might be hated by the students.

  So she doesn’t assign homework. Everyone likes her. After all, who doesn’t like teachers who don’t assign homework? It's a pity that now she is not the one who is eager to please others, this is also a road as difficult as Edgeworth.

It’s difficult for her to describe her state at the moment. The mood is too complicated. She needs time to think about it. Maybe she will never find an accurate description, but she thinks it’s worth spending time, and it’s much more interesting than spending time on dressing up, so she Just let the maids dress up and be a "model" by yourself, anyway, the same as the last time at the Rouen Art Museum.
