Chapter 1411
"When man thought that molecules were the smallest and could no longer be divided thought that was the truth, then he discovered that there were atoms and thought that they could no longer be divided, that was the truth, and soon after that atoms could still be divided and down the line particles could be divided again ......"
"So there's a saying that the more you know, the less you know." "Your truth can be questioned and disproved, that must not be the truth, so you don't know, you don't grasp."
"Only heaven grasps, only heaven knows."
"What the Tao is I do not know, although we cannot explain what the Tao is, but we know it exists, whether you enlighten the Tao or not, the Tao always exists and there are laws to follow."
"It's like we now know that gravity exists, but you don't know what the hell it is, but we do, and we also know how to use its laws, its properties to my advantage, to launch satellites."
"That's why Xunzi said "There is a law of heaven, not for Yao to exist, not for Jie to die.""
"In our modern language, this means that nature works according to its own laws, and that the laws of heaven will not be the same because of what happened to Yao, nor will they be the same because of what happened to Jie."
"When Jie was alive the sun rose in the east and set in the west, and when he died it rose in the east and set in the west, and the four seasons of the year, spring, summer, autumn and winter, would still alternate."
"The Way of Heaven is heartless and cold-blooded, but it is also fair and just; if the Way is sentient it must be unjust."
"You are now cold and hungry and in the middle of the night, the Tao is merciful to you, the sun immediately rises five hours earlier you are warm, a flying goose falls down so you can eat it, humane enough for you, right? But it is cruel and unjust to the flying geese to their nocturnal creatures, why should you not fall into the sea and feed them to the sharks?"
"The true Tao is "not for Yao to exist, not for Jie to die, all is the Tao of nature""
"Nowadays we often talk about how a living person cannot be suffocated by urine, since the Tao follows nature and has laws, then follow its laws and act in accordance with them, you follow the laws of nature's operation you will be invincible, this is what human beings have done throughout the ages, inside and outside, throughout the ages, and this is what scientific research is doing now."
"In our global science and technology circles now, some of the media reports are always about this science and technology overturning this and overturning that, and I ask you what have you overturned?"
"You are basically just discovering, not subverting, the great technological advances of the recent and modern times you tell me that one is not the result of discovering laws of nature that were not discovered before?"
Audience: human cloning, cloning technology?
"I just heard someone say, how do you explain cloning technology? Good point, cloning technology isn't that subversive?"
"First of all, I didn't say that there was no subversive technology in the history of modern technology, since you are now saying that there is and you want me to explain it, then there is and then explain it."
The live stream: Mr. Li is really smart not to say too much, now there is room for manoeuvre when new questions come up.
"Whether it is a disruptive technology is now open to debate, but I think it is relatively more likely to be, I know that such words are equal to nothing Western scientists would hate to hear, or even be angry."
"Because such words actually come out of the mouth of someone who has just won the Nobel Prize in physics, fortunately the Nobel Prize cannot be appealed, gasp, heh heh"
"And what's the reason for saying that? Of course because I do not grasp the absolute truth, then what I say is not necessarily the absolute answer, so I can only say that the possibility is greater, then since nature has its own law, then according to the law speculation well, to determine whether it will violate the laws of nature, from the correct answer will be about eight or nine."
"We all know the universe is in motion, when you move the state changes, it's a law of nature, organisms are always evolving and mutating as a way to adapt to new and changing environments."
"What about cloning technology? The product of it is actually unchanging, it's just a replica, once there is no change the trouble comes, the environment around it is constantly changing as time goes on."
"A clone in 10,000 years his physiology is still the same as it is today, without any evolution, will he be able to adapt to the vicissitudes of existence in 10,000 years? Or a million years from now?"
"I don't think it would be possible to adapt, for example, the First Emperor of Qin, he crossed over to modern times alone he basically couldn't adapt."
"I am the First Emperor of Qin, but I don't even have a single person at my disposal, it's really outrageous, what's more, these people look at me like a middle-aged fool, and think I'm a comedian, and advise me to go home and take medicine, formally angry at me too ...... "
Said, Li Linfei a show of hands: "The first emperor was eventually angry." The whole audience of serious listening students are full of laughter, the image of science and technology big shot is all gone, live performance schizophrenia severe patients.
Li Linfei rolled up his sleeves and continued with a smile, "Then there is only one possibility that would allow Qin Shi Huang to adapt to the modern life he traveled through, and that is for him to change himself into the modern environment ...... Oh, pull back."
"My great Qin has died more than 2000 years ago what's the use of talking about this? I am now a tenured professor of history at Yanjing University, the Spring and Autumn Warring States history I am empathetic, you and others but have their confusion, I can solve it ......"
"So brother Zheng came to modern society he should become a Chinese citizen, the most authoritative history professor who lectured on the history of the Spring and Autumn Warring States at Yanjing University, and then was fired from the school for having his feet in n boat because of bad style."
In the midst of the audience's laughter, Li Linfei said with a helpless and bitter smile, spreading his hands, "But it can't be helped, people have many fan girls, and brother Zheng is a man who has had a harem of three thousand beauties, he thinks it's normal, it's hard to change one's nature."
"And then after he gets fired, Brother Zheng may become an unmatched internet spammer, seeing the old US coming to our doorstep in the south to cause trouble? Brother Politics takes one look and is furious! Send an army to level it, not enough to level the people's anger!"
"If you look to the north, you can see that his country is bigger than mine? He was furious and sent an army to pacify him. And when he looked to the east, he was furious, and he sent his troops to quell it, for it was not enough to quell his grievances! When I look west, I'm still furious, and I'll send troops to pacify it.
"After pacifying this and that, he found that no one listened to him, he was the only one who sprayed this and that, and in the end he pacified himself.
Chapter 1412
Li Linfei estimated the smile gradually converge, said seriously: "The reasoning here tells us that things can be done once and twice, not again and again, otherwise there will be no end, so Qin Shi Huang decided it is better to lie, to come is to suffer, anyway, in the end will still be gashed to death, the difference depends on what is gashed to death."
"So the clone is bound to end up with no future, his form of existence goes against the fundamental law that the natural environment is constantly changing, the ultimate result is to go extinct, the fittest survive, the unfit are eliminated."
"Some people say change organs, or no change, high-tech assistance, you are in the same place, the brain has not changed, can still expect technological progress? You are so big, the ceiling is already decided, you can't get out of the five-finger mountain no matter what."
"True naturals may be generation after generation, generation after generation, and their brains may become more and more developed."
"Because it's always changing, and clones have always been that way, replicas well stay the same, so the science of human cloning will only go backwards, not forward, and cloning itself kills its own future."
"This is looking at the issue from a scientific point of view, then from a moral and ethical point of view, obviously it's impossible, as soon as it comes out the world is immediately in chaos, the world will be in chaos, from this point you can conclude that there is no future for human cloning, because we humans will not accept a world where the moral and ethical order collapses."
So back to the original question.
"The Tao, is enlightenable but not the Tao... The Tao of not being able to be said is not that it cannot be said, but that it cannot be said, so what is enlightenment? You talk to Westerners about what 'enlightenment' is and they are n-faced. The English word for enlightenment is wudao, and the English dictionary now has "fengshui", which is feng shui.
"Feng Shui how do you make English translate it? Does it translate to windwater?"
"Do you see the truth behind this? The truth is always at the back, the front is just an appearance, what is the truth behind it?"
Said Li Linfei, looking at the whole audience, the audience at the scene was puzzled.
The audience was puzzled.
After a while also, Li Linfei smiled faintly and said succinctly, "Two words, Cosmos!"
The moment these words came out, everyone instantly realized, seeing everyone's expressions Li Linfei said with a smile, "We Chinese people are the smartest here, a little bit of understanding, unnecessary waste of time to say clearly, a thing, say a little bit of understanding, so we do things with the fastest efficiency in the world."
Cosmos, is assimilation, as soon as Li Linfei said this word everyone understood.
So Westerners are now torn, massively torn, as soon as Chinese culture touches him, it is assimilated by him, and more and more Chinese characters cannot be translated in English.
As a result, they can only translate them directly, and spend most of the time explaining them, which is how Chinese culture is being subliminally assimilated.
The charm of Chinese culture is all-encompassing, and is thus inexhaustible.
After a while, Li Linfei continued: "So if you are a Chinese, when you hear someone ask you what is enlightenment? Then you immediately get it but laugh and don't say anything because you know it is only understandable, it is enlightenment."
"And then the Westerners are confused again."
"What the hell is that again? Translating it like a big vernacular, you can only think it in your mind and not say it, but you can still know what's in my mind?"
"When the Westerner heard that, he was really living hell, is that mind reading? So he couldn't understand it, and they were particularly annoyed, can't you Chinese people make your words clear?"
"Oh, those who can make sense to you are not authentic Chinese people."
Audience: hahaha ......"
But Westerners just can't understand, in Western thinking, reference answers, our education nowadays is greatly influenced by Western education, reference answers, reference answers, what's the point of reference if you know the answer? Is there an answer for you to refer to in the exam?"
"So now I ask all the students here to use the Chinese thinking or I Ching thinking and refer to the answers?"
"Maybe yes, maybe no, maybe reference you are, maybe reference I am not, yes and no, no and yes, this is what one yin and one yang is called the Tao, Taiji and two rhythms, what goes around comes around, and what goes around comes around, so you see I Ching thinking is telling us that this is a flexible, unfixed world view."
"This is what Confucius meant when he said that a gentleman is not a tool, that is what he meant. "
"Confucius has a very special place in history, he is the sage of the time, because he knows what time means, he knows that time flows like water, it never stops and never turns back, so the time makes the hero, not the hero makes the time, I personally don't agree with this view, man can make the time. That would be going against the grain."
"In today's era, where everything is prefixed with science, it may not be very acceptable to say that one can change one's fate against the odds, like a metaphysical superstition, to put it another way, you are trying to change the scientific laws of nature with man-made power, to modify the laws of physics, for example, the wave-particle duality of light, so now you want to make it not have this nature by man-made power, or change it to another nature , then you are not a human being, you are a god."
"You are not a god, you are a human being, so it is not possible, you try to subvert the laws of nature and the result is like the clone spoken of earlier, a death sentence." "Go with the trend, go against the trend, you will die, go and see the ones that don't follow the trend of the great trend are dead, some old giant companies, dead and eliminated."
"But to say that the I Ching is only talking about people up to the point of making them good is not worthy of being called the source of Chinese civilisation, the beginning of the ancient scriptures of China, or an ancient scripture that is all-encompassing"
A simple sentence sums it up: a drawing from Fuxi opens the heavens, the Tao gives birth to one, one to two, two to three, and three to everything."
"Not only do people have to dive for the dragon, but things, objects and the earth all have to dive for the dragon, do you think scientific research has to dive for the dragon?"
