Chapter 327: First principle

,

Cimeila suddenly opened her tiny lips slightly, as if she understood something.

Su Ye smiled and said: "Yes, I broke through the" in-fight "limitation, and outside the battle, I found a" first-principle "that can accomplish my goal. This method may not be useful to others, nor Applicable to everyone, it will be opposed by many people, and may not even apply to me in the future, but for me now, it is the supreme method of combat. This supreme method is very simple, that is, Before fighting, use all your strength to accumulate power, including learning magic, improving status, gaining the attention of the master, meeting partners, building business alliances, exchanging money for magic weapons, strengthening your magic, and so on. The power to defeat any enemy in battle. "

Cimeila widened her eyes and said, "I like this supreme method. And, from your way of thinking, it seems that you can sum up another method or thinking, that is, to solve something, don't just limit it to Among them, you can also jump out. For example, you obviously want to find a supreme fighting method, and the result is found outside the battle. This way, it seems that it can also be used as a "first principle" in a certain field. "

Su Ye smiled slightly: "Your acumen and wisdom are amazing. This concept is called subversive innovation. For example, ancient humans can only collect wild food, but some of the sages jumped out of the scope of" collection ". Start 'planting'. There are also some sages who jumped out of the 'hunting' area and completed 'farming'. "

There are still many examples of disruptive innovations in Su Ye ’s mind, from Euclidean geometry to non-European geometry, from classic mechanics to quantum mechanics, from horse-drawn carriages to fuel cars, from fuel cars to electric cars, all directly jump out of the original field. Certain restrictions are disruptive innovations.

"I understand that in the field of" innovation ", this kind of subversive innovation can be regarded as a" first-principle ". Of course, this is just the first-principle of innovation in my opinion. Others can also innovate. The field finds his own first-principles. "Cimeila said.

Su Ye lamented that this girl was so smart, and continued: "You are very correct. In fact, we can't do without the generalized first-principles at any time. For the simplest example, there are two Mothers all have children. However, in the field of "taking care of children", the first principles of the two people are different. A mother believes that it is most important to try her best to protect her children. That is to say, she loves the first nature of children. The principle is 'protection'. And another mother believes that it is more important for her child to get proper setbacks and exercise, that is to say, the first principle of her love for children is 'exercise'. "

"Then the two mothers follow different first principles, so they treat their children very differently. By extension, each of us has one or more 'first principles. 'This first-principle, which controls our language, actions, thinking, etc., ultimately determines everything for us. "

"I have always liked to say to myself that if my language, actions and thinking are all right, then I would have been a top person in my field, but I am not a top master in the magic world, so it must be where I am It ’s not good enough. Which one is not good enough? It ’s because I did n’t find a better first-principle in every field. Even, even if I have heard of this first-principle, but I I did n’t follow suit, so my words, actions, thinking, abilities, etc. were not good enough, so I am not a top master in the magic world. "

"I'm a little confused," Cremela said.

"This is a very esoteric theory, but it seems very simple, we can almost immediately understand the phrase" the first principle exists in every field ", we also mistakenly think that we understand, but in fact, with the As we deepen our thinking, we will find ourselves more and more confused. However, if we continue to think, continue to think, and continue to practice, we will truly understand. If anyone thinks that they can fully understand it, or the brain avoids the habit of thinking tired. Deceive yourself, or, like Master Socrates and Master Plato, have truly mastered the first principles and changed the world. You said that I did not understand, I am very happy because you can recognize yourself. "Su Yedao.

"How can it be understood that first principles are thoroughly understood?" Clementa asked.

"With the theme of" first principles ", write a book, a book that you can understand and others can understand, then this means that you really understand, understand, master the first Principle of sex. "Su Yedao.

"Have you fully understood the principle of first nature?" The girl's eyes shimmered.

"I only recently discovered the concept of first principles. If you are more arrogant, you can say that it can be mastered in ten years. If you are modest, I may learn in my whole life."

"So, how do you learn and master first principles?" Clementa asked.

Su Ye said with a smile: "After talking about the basic concepts of first principles, we need to learn how to use first principles. The first principles have several major learning points. The first one is the truth truth Do n’t use truth to dominate the truth. That is to say, truth should be used as the first principle, and not the general principles that everyone said is the first principle. "

"Can you give an example?" Cremela said.

"When we are doing alchemy or refining potions, it seems that we put all the materials in the container, which is similar to cooking. So, can we say that alchemy and refining potions are cooking?" Su Ye asked.

"It sounds reasonable, and it sounds similar, but I don't think it can be said like this."

"Yes, the reason is very simple. In this wrong statement, we only extracted the" similarity "or" identity ", while ignoring the" different "and" difference ", ignoring the huge difference in essence. It is to explain the phenomenon with a general doctrine. We will always fall into the "understanding trap" and miss the truth. We can contact the "doctrine" and "truth" to facilitate memory learning, but we must learn to distinguish.

"The first point to extend is that we 'best' should use the solid theory of basic disciplines as our first principles, rather than using the sayings and truths in life as our first principles. Principle. "Su Yedao.

"Can you give an example?" Cremela said.

Su Ye smiled: "Very well, you didn't say you got it, nor did you feel embarrassed to ask questions."

"For example, we have to find a first-principle for" learning fields. "We found that there is a classification method in botany, and we usually place things and classify them. Then, we should choose a more systematic classification in botany. Method, rather than choosing the classification method in life as our first principle. "

"Another example," equivalent exchange "is the foundation of alchemy, but our daily trading transactions seem to be considered as an equivalent exchange, with similarities. If you want to choose the first principle between the two, We must choose the equivalent exchange in alchemy, not the trading in life. "

"I still don't quite understand, why can't the same thing be replaced? I understand this reason, but I don't understand why." Cimeila said.

Su Ye thought for a while and slowly said: "Everyone has a different perspective on this truth. My perspective is that since we want to choose a road, is it to choose a road that changes in length, width, and geomorphology at any time? A grand avenue where time remains the same? "

"The latter." Cimeela said.

"If we choose a beacon, do we choose a lamp that is bright and dark, large and small, and sometimes not, or a stable, bright, constant, and clear lamp?"

"The latter." Cimeela said.

"Then you can find that buying and selling in the market are changing, even losing money and selling at high prices. There is no real measure. However, in alchemy, the equivalent exchange is currently even quite long For a period of time, it cannot be overturned. Then, the concept of equivalent exchange in alchemy is more like that grand road, that eternal light. "Su Yedao.

"The question is, how do we determine that our own first-principles must be a grand avenue and an eternal light?" Cimeila said.

Su Ye spread his hand and said, "I can't be sure. Even, the solid theories of various disciplines may change and be subverted. However, the solid theory of the basic disciplines is" relatively "better than other theories and The truth is closer to the truth. Since there is something closer to the truth, why should we choose to stay away from the truth? Just because something far away from the truth is close to us, we can easily get it, so do we give up the pursuit of 'more truth'? "

Cimeila said nothing for a long time, her eyes leaping.

Su Ye continued: "The second essential point of the first-principles is‘ attention to applicable boundaries ’. Each first-principle has a limited area of ​​coverage.”

"Each of us has many fields. Take my own as an example. There are magic fields, learning fields, business fields, social fields, life fields, thinking fields ... etc. Take the social field as an example. , This field also needs to be subdivided, such as 'family exchanges,' school exchanges, work exchanges ', etc., and it can continue to be subdivided according to different communication objects. The reason for the subdivision is that it is difficult for us to use' The same way 'communicate with everyone. "

"I will make a mistake that everyone will make. When I was in Lion Harbor, I met a small boss who found that if he treated those workers well, those workers would steal and play, but if they were very vocal Often intimidated, those workers will obediently obey. For example, if the workers are asked to do something, he will threaten to say that if they do not do well, they will reduce their remuneration, if they do not do well, they will fight. He has always used intimidation against workers The tone of his speech has been very smooth, and then he is complacent, even preaching that he has found a good way to manage workers, thinking that this can solve all problems. Then, his intimidating thinking when "communicating with workers" is his first Principle of oneness. "

"Later, I found something that surprised me. He even treated his wife and son in a" bullying "way. His wife and children were often scared by him. His children grew up and began to rebel against him. He is not a person with enough wisdom, he does not understand reflection, he will not think about why it is so, he will only feel that what he does is effective for the workers, and it is effective for everything. There is nothing wrong with him. . As a result, his son ran away from home and was killed by the band. "

"Just when he was desperate, he clashed with a bronze warrior, so he intimidated each other. As a result, the bronze warrior was annoyed by him, he smashed his shop, and often harassed him, eventually making him bankrupt. This Things, it sounds weird to say that, in fact, everyone is making similar mistakes. "

"We can't communicate with different people in the same way, that is to say, we can't dominate all fields with a first-principle." Su Yedao.

Cimeila thought for a while and said: "I probably understand what you mean. But, this point, there seems to be other things behind it, infinite subdivision, it seems that there is still something hidden."

"Very good, you really are the spiritual followers of the masters. Divide the large field into the middle field, divide the middle field into the small field, divide the small field into the micro field, continue to subdivide, to an indivisible degree In this field, we all need to use different thinking, behavior or language, and find our own 'first principles.' This method is particularly suitable for 'single field'. For example, a person only studies 'life extension agents' in his life. Use this method to study the life extension medicine to the extreme. With this method, what do you think of? Please answer, Clementa. "Su Ye smiled.

"Atomic theory!" Cremela replied happily.

"Yes! This constantly decomposing theory is built on the basis of 'atomic theory', but through the atomic theory, the thinking behind Master Democritus is refined. This kind of thinking is called 'reduction theory' . Reductionism is an infinitely split thinking. "

"And the first principle, in some respects, is exactly the opposite of reductionism, not to pursue in the finer and deeper, but in the direction of higher and less. For example, we have to do well in the" social field ", I do n’t need to think about how many classifications there are, or how many kinds of situations there are. I just need to find one or several few supreme methods, one or several few constant thinking, under the guidance of these kinds of thinking, come Deal with everyone. Some people say that this is impossible, I will say, it is difficult, but I will try to pursue! For example, in the social field, "win-win thinking" may be regarded as a first-principle. "

"I like your statement. In addition, I confess to you the mistake. From now on, there is no" impossible "in my world, only" I will learn. "Crimella is like a cheerful little bird.

Her smile and the dazzling eyes completely covered the birthmarks on her face.

Su Ye smiled: "The first principle is itself a first principle, and reductionism is also a first principle."

Cremela passed the whole sentence in her mind, and after thinking, she nodded vigorously.

"I know."

"The third point of first-principles is constant use and repeated use. Only constant use and only focused use can we truly grasp and translate into our ability. Many people will find the process of hard work very difficult, but, Why not imagine the sweetness after completion? "

"Your words are like the North Star pointing the way, and also the Thunder of the King of Gods." Crimella's eyes were starry sky.

Su Ye smiled slightly and said: "This is the law I got after studying the experiences of countless masters and sages: they were very lucky to find a strong first-principle since childhood, convinced, and then follow their own First-principles work, and ultimately, achieve extraordinary, glorious life. I may not be lucky, I was very ordinary since childhood, but as long as I find my first-principles, and then continue to do, then, I may not be extraordinary But I will be infinitely closer to the transcendent, and will far surpass the original me. "

"You are lucky and wise." Cimeera's eyes were hot.

"We are all lucky, the only difference in our future is to accept this lucky, or throw it away." Su Yedao.

"Because of your general exposure, I'm firmly in the grip!" Cimeela clenched her fist hard.

"It's such a good boy." Su Ye smiled slightly.

Klimera's eyes drifted away, like Xiaohe swaying, and said softly: "You are only sixteen years old, only four years older than me."

Su Ye froze for a moment, smiled slightly, and pointed to the line on the blackboard: "The first principle is the content of my first class, and it is also the first class of my dreams when I was a child, and it was also my dream. The first lesson of life. It ’s a pity that nobody told me the first principles in the first lesson of life, but since then, there is no regret. "

Cimeila stared at Su Ye.

"This day is the luckiest day of my life. I ’m sure that not to mention Aristotle, even Master Plato or Master Socrates, ca n’t give me such an important first lesson in life. From now on, you It ’s my eternal teacher. ”Cimeila ’s crisp voice was full of firmness.

Su Ye smiled slightly and didn't say anything. UU read the book www.uukanshu.com himself in this class, but stood on the shoulders of countless giants, far beyond this era. Even Aristotle, who determined the "first principle", was only looking for the only, eternal, supreme "first principle" between heaven and earth, and did not really expand the first principle. The first principles of later generations, the first principles of Aristotle are more leafy.

After a while, Clementa asked: "Mr. Su Ye, then, is there an ultimate first-principle, more essential than the essence of magic, the only essence and the only first-principle of all worlds? "

Su Ye thought about it and said, "First of all, we can believe that there is an ultimate first principle in this world, and we can even continue to pursue it."

Cremela nodded vigorously.

"Second, you have to remember the fourth point of learning first-principles' recognize multiple possibilities, maintain multiple perspectives, believe in all changes, and allow opposites to exist." We allow, believe, or pursue the ultimate first-principles However, we also have to believe that this world may have more than the first principle of the "one" ultimate pole. "

Suye smiled.

Cimeila pondered.
