The Righteous Player(s) Chapter 99: Means to change the world

Issac has been vaguely aware of something.

He frowned and thought seriously: "I see... The improvement of people's lives by technology itself does not represent the improvement of society as a whole. Even these useful new technologies may not be truly produced. Function."

"That's right. The research direction of Salvatore and his teacher Benjamin Pope is 'transformation products that can be used by civilians and even poor people.'"

Annan nodded and revealed a secret that Isaac didn't know: "Because the original driving force behind Benjamin's desire to become a transformation wizard was that when his childhood sweetheart girlfriend needed transformation products the most, she couldn't afford them. .

"So he vowed: If he could become a great transformation wizard, he must develop transformation products that most people can afford. He didn't want his girlfriend's tragedy to happen again.

"——Now, he has done it."

Although Annan was narrating other people's stories, his eyes seemed to be shining.

Under Isaac's gaze, Annan said slowly: "These new technologies have infiltrated people's lives bit by bit. But they have not yet accumulated to a qualitative change... In other words, it is not enough. to break down that wall.

"Just like when advancing to the dyeing position, only those with strong enough desires can have the 'power' to maintain themselves - if the people's desire to change everything is not strong, then their 'Desire' will also burn out before reaching a new realm.

"Now it's just that some well-informed people like you are beginning to realize that these backward 'traditions' of Danny Sawyer have hindered the new generation...

"However, because of the piracy system, Denisoya fell into a strange 'equilibrium state'. People maintain their position in society by persecuting others... Just like this, they can be satisfied. Currently This balance has not yet been broken, and people do not have an urgent desire to change everything."

Annan pointed out the real problem facing Denisawyer.

That is, Denisoya is not a real "lawless place".

It is actually orderly, but the order itself is quite depraved. However, this degenerate order is recognized by the people of Denisoya.

"So, how should this situation of Danny Sawyer be changed?"

Isaac leaned forward slightly and added: "I don't expect to change the world... It's too complicated and too big. It's like people who don't have any dreams and say, 'I want to be Amazing people' same.

"If you want to change Denisoya... at least make it like Noah. Your Majesty Annan, do you have any ideas?"

"This is difficult. Rather, it is very difficult."

Annan said honestly: "If you were King Denisoya, it might be simpler. But you are just a dead man who died more than a hundred years ago, and I am not a local of the United Kingdom at all. .

"The problem faced by Denisoya is not that when people want to change it, they encounter some kind of insurmountable resistance; it is that neither His Majesty the King nor the common people think that there is anything wrong with this. Question.

"Because of this pirate tradition of more than a hundred years..."

"It's two hundred years."

Isaac corrected.

"Yes, more than two hundred years of pirate tradition have made people adapt to this barbaric lifestyle - they are used to bullying others, accustomed to depravity and betrayal, and they don't even think that 'killing others' is a sin. Forgiveable, but a 'radical method that may endanger oneself'.

"In other words, the entire Denisoja population is selfish. Even the poorest people at the lowest level do not think there is anything wrong with this from the bottom of their hearts - the Denisoja people are not eager to change everything. At best, they just hope that they can become a higher person and be able to bully others.

"This is a disease that the United Kingdom has suffered from for more than two hundred years. It can only be cured by this country's own young people."

"...Yes."

Issac nodded heavily: "I was once one of these people. It was only after I entered the Jade Tower to study that I gradually realized that this was wrong, barbaric, and backward."

"So it's very simple."

Annan snapped his fingers: "That is education. More popular and higher-quality education can fundamentally improve the quality of the people.

"These adults are hopeless. They live in a pirate country and think like pirates. But children are different... Through the guidance of education, these children can still be saved.

"In addition to abilities, we must first strengthen children's morals. Then we must broaden their horizons and let them understand the outside world without being proud or inferior. Then, we must ignite the desire to change the world in their hearts. Desire——Let them realize that Denisawya cannot continue like this.

"The outstanding ones among them can naturally easily become leaders in the United Kingdom, where the weak and the strong prey on the weak. And their thoughts will gradually change other people.

"One person can influence a group, and this group of people can influence more people - since traditions are deeply rooted and people's prejudices are difficult to eradicate. Using violent means to influence them will have the opposite effect. Then use more Infectious and more correct ideas infect them...

"Because what Denisawia really needs to change urgently is not the shortage of a certain technology, but the numbness of people's 'hearts'."

"...It's actually like this."

Issac muttered.

The education he received in the past was all about technology-oriented elite theory.

In other words, the reason why this world is not perfect is because the vast majority of people in this world are ignorant trash. At most, they can only keep the world unchanged, but only a very small number of elites can truly change the world and usher in breakthroughs in the era.

And they will become the very few elites - using cutting-edge technology to change the world. The more advanced the technology and theory, the faster the world car can be lifted out of the mud pit.

This is the theory of the Jade Tower.

This is also the philosophy that every wizard who comes from the Jade Tower believes in.

They believe...even if their technology cannot bring about changes for a while, it will eventually make the world a better place.

Of course Isaac was also a believer in this theory.

It was when he realized that Danny Sawyer's "getting better" and the "getting better" he thought were not the same thing at all that he developed extremely strong self-doubt.

But now, under Annan's guidance, he gradually realized the other side of the truth: "I seem to understand a little, but not completely... It means that the technology we have developed is just ' Key'. But the only people who can truly open the door to the new era are the people themselves?

"And Danny Sawyer's problem is not that the key is wrong, but that the person holding the key doesn't want to open the door? So what we need to change now is thinking, not technology."

"...Almost. Although it feels like you have complicated the problem, it can be understood that way. But it should be noted that you are going from one extreme to the other. Technology is also needed...or rather , this is also a technology - a technology in the field of humanities and social sciences.

"There is certainly nothing wrong with encouraging 'progress'. ~IndoMTL.com~ It's just that your vision is too narrow and you only focus on what you want to see. Of course, all wizard towers have this problem..."

Annan shrugged and drank the remaining half glass of mint rum in one gulp.

He breathed a sigh of satisfaction and picked up the scepter beside the table: "Let's go."

"Where to go?"

As a local, Isaac asked subconsciously.

I don’t know when he started to follow Annan’s instructions habitually.

"Go talk to Yaweng. In the name of his future colleague."

Annan narrowed his eyes.

I don’t know when he had a superior temperament that even Isaac was in awe of: "Although it was just a casual chat, your doubts reminded me of one thing. I probably know what Yawen wants to do. ... but I’m still not sure. So I went over to have a chat with him.

"I hope he didn't go on a business trip with Yin Jue."
