MTL - I Like This Dream!-v2 Chapter 26
An Xu had a dream.
"Remember that poor rich rich happiness problem you talked about last year?" Chris asked.
"Which one?"
"You said that the happiness of two people cannot be counted as a whole. If the wishes of the poor and the rich conflict with each other, no matter how you choose, you will be half unhappy, and the influence of the rich is greater. At that time I asked you whether the weak must be sacrificed , you didn't answer me."
"Hey? Are you still thinking about this! You're actually talking nonsense..."
"It's a lie." Chris laughed. "It took me a long time to realize that your assumptions are also problematic."
An Xu made a gesture, expressing that he would like to hear more about it.
"I encountered such a thing in the patrol team. The commoner was accused by the nobles of encroaching on his family territory, so he had to leave the place where several generations lived and went to live on the border where strange beasts were infested. In the ensuing wave of beasts, the commoner All five members of the family died in the mouth of alien beasts. They are by no means the only example." Chris said, "So, the same number of nobles and commoners you mentioned does not exist."
Chris looked at her and narrated clearly: "The commoners cannot support the same number of nobles, just like a deer cannot support a tiger. Their composition is like a date core that has been cut in half, with a large base and a small top. , only a large number of commoners can satisfy the desire of a nobleman. Therefore, it is not a 50% probability at all. To make 1% of the nobles happy, the number of sacrifices that need to be sacrificed is probably 99% public interest."
"Even if a nobleman's influence is greater than that of ten commoners, he would consume the resources of a hundred people and sacrifice the happiness of hundreds of people. I don't think such a sacrifice is reasonable at all," he said.
"Congratulations, you found it!" An Xu applauded, "It's just a sophistry, using wrong conditions that you didn't find to draw wrong conclusions."
"Looking at it this way, I'm afraid that the question of balance is also sophistry." Chris said helplessly, "The so-called 'one side is a supernatural being with unlimited potential and the other is a sinner with all kinds of crimes', doesn't it mean that you And the Sullivan family? If I said supernatural beings' at the time, you would immediately say 'so I'm right'."
"Oh, Chris really understands me!" An Xu twisted her face and pretended to be cute. Thanks to her good looks, this look was really cute, which made Chris want to knock on her forehead. Try to hold back. She twisted for a while, then asked again, "So you still sacrifice the few to save the many?"
"It's best not to sacrifice anyone." Chris shook his head, "But if I have to sacrifice, I will still choose the side that benefits the whole."
"Let me ask you another question!" An Xu smiled slyly, "You are driving a galloping carriage on a road that divides into two lanes, and at this time, there are people playing at a similar place ahead. Children. The left side is the prescribed carriageway, and there are five children who are not playing according to the rules. The right side is not the prescribed carriageway, and there is a child who obeys the rules. At this critical moment, which side will you drive to? ?”
Chris pondered for a moment and asked, "Which way are you going?"
"Of course we will continue to drive on the same road." An Xu replied, "An Jingjing's children who play by themselves are not wrong, why should they be sacrificed for other people's faults? No matter how many guys who do wrong things and endanger others, they are still the same. It is better for society to die.”
"They're young, and they're not guilty of death," Chris said.
An Xu rolled his eyes.
"I can't convince you." Chris shrugged, "But I will choose to change lanes."
"Which innocent child was crushed to death?" An Xu laughed, "Are you sure those five young children who didn't obey the law at a young age will make greater contributions to society when they grow up?"
Chris glanced helplessly at An, who "disobeyed the law at a young age", and said seriously, "That's not the reason. You probably haven't driven a carriage before, right? A speeding carriage hit five obstacles one after another, Even a child can easily tip over."
"Hey?"
An Xu was really taken aback. Is this the reason? Isn't Chris's character set an envoy of justice? She thought self-sacrifice was inherent in him.
"One or two years in the morning, I would definitely answer 'in order to save the majority'." Chris smiled, "But in real life, there is not such an ideal choice. Once the carriage rolls over, not only the driver will be seriously injured , the five children, or the one child on the other side, are all implicated, which means that none of the seven people is spared. If there is not enough manpower around, the injured survivors can only wait to die."
"So I will choose the road alone." Chris said, "If you run over a carriage, it will not roll over. I will check the condition of the child after stopping the carriage. The chance that he or she goes to the healer for help. Even if that one child dies, I can be responsible to the family that lost the child and do what I can to make up for their pain and loss. I can still afford a family with one child, but If it's five, I can't do it with my current ability."
Chris breathed a sigh of relief, and concluded: "A person's power is limited, and 'saving' beyond one's own power is just a foolish overreach, and it has no use other than touching oneself and causing trouble for others."
========================
Andy woke up.
She thought of the previous dream, ah no, the content of the dream in the dream, it is not too surprising that she would dream of Chris. It's been a year since we last met, and it's frustrating that Chris didn't show up yesterday, which was the promised meeting day.
But why do you dream about this passage? The correspondence between them goes back and forth every two months. When they meet, apart from their own lives, they also talk about anecdotes and strange things they know from various places. This kind of philosophical conversation does not account for a large proportion. An Xu thought she would dream of the dishes made by Chris.
Thinking of food made her hungry again. In reality, An Xuming is obviously not a foodie, but now he is thinking about food every day, it is all the fault of the ascetic monks' courtyard. She eats a lot, but she hasn't grown much taller, and now Esther's elementary school girls are almost as tall as her.
Anxu thumped the pillow angrily.
"Ann!" Someone knocked lightly on the door.
"Come on!" An Xu yawned, quickly washed up and walked out. Esther stood waiting for her at the door, as she did every morning when she overslept.
After being inexplicably dubbed as a divinely favored person and separated from his little friend Chris, An Xu finally ushered in a belated college life. Her progress was embarrassing and no one cared about her, so she simply became a day student, and when she saw any interesting class, she sat in the back of the classroom. Her super memory ability is worthy of the name of God's favored person, coupled with her lack of interest in religious brainwashing courses, she has learned what is worth learning in twelve grades of seminary in just one year.
Since then, An Xu's life is like leaving the tense high school and entering the free and undisciplined university era, starting a three-point and three-line life of his own room, Nancy's courtyard and the cafeteria. Teacher Nancy felt that she was too lonely by herself, so she sent her to "communicate with her peers". For the sake of convenience, she directly found the only little sister Esther she knew and had no hatred, and brushed it every day as a daily task. Esther started fighting with each other when she saw her, and finally progressed to be an alarm clock for An Xu every day, calling for her to tell stories in her free time.
"Good morning, Esther," she greeted.
"Good morning, Ann!" Esther showed a soft and healing smile, causing An Xu to stretch out her claws and tug at her cheek.
"Woo...Ann's grinning again!" Esther said with a sad face, trying her best to save her cheek from under the claws, "Wow, her face is going to get bigger!"
"This is a massage, the face will become smaller, and the face will become bigger after reading pornographic books!" An Xuwu said something that the other party didn't understand, and rubbed it a few more times before loosening the two soft lumps face meat.
"Really?" Esther said hesitantly, "Little yellow book, is it a book with a yellow cover?"
"uh-huh."
"It's bad, the cover of my textbook is yellow!" Esther said in a panic, and let go of her hand covering her cheek, "Why don't you pinch me again?"
Silly Baitian grows up to 1.8 meters and is silly Baitian.
Esther's younger sister, Ansu, is four years old and enters school a year after her. She didn't see Ann's whipping, only heard a bunch of about Anna. Sullivan's big devil rumors. The rumors were so surreal that another official surreal account—Anna. Sullivan is a divinely favored person—as soon as he appeared, Esther believed the latter without hesitation.
She seems to be the illegitimate daughter of a certain noble family, she is well protected, full of innocent thoughts, she will believe whatever the god-favored An Xu says. Ansu felt obliged to protect her innocent and lovely head, lest she grow into a brain-destroyed weirdo (like Mammy Mary), or Lance, who was full of bad water and blinded his good face.
Specific protection methods, such as:
"God created the heaven and the earth, and hung the sun, the moon, and the stars on the sky..." the teacher said on the podium.
"Actually, we are also on the same star, and the earth is round." Anxu said in Esther's ear.
"So God created every living thing on the earth, and man in his own image..."
"...But why are people divided into male, female, alpha, beta, and omega? If God creates according to himself, what does God look like?"
Esther nodded her head with her mouth open, as if there was a mosquito coil in her eyes. Taking classes in such an environment with its own barrage, I really don't know what her final worldview will become.
The reckless An Xu didn't think about this kind of problem at all, she jumped up as soon as the get out of class bell rang, and waved goodbye to Esther. "You don't need to look for me today!" She told the elementary school girl, and ran out in three steps and two steps.
Hopefully Chris would have been there today.
