HP's Chinese Parents

"And this is the reason why good will surely defeat evil." Looking at the child in front of him, Nick recalled the tragic ending of the Dark Lord in the fairy tale and said with emotion: "All evil will be defeated, not because of God's blessing, Not because of retribution, but because their existence hurts the interests of everyone else. So one party must eliminate the other party, which is a zero-sum game."

Tom muses: "So morality is defined in terms of interests?"

Nick replied: "More precisely, it is defined according to the interests of the species. Moreover, not only morality, but also the teachings of many religions are formulated to ensure the interests of the species."

"For example, hundreds of years ago, both Christianity and Christianity stipulated that cattle and sheep could be eaten but pork was not allowed."

The □□ religion is a bit unfamiliar to Tom, but he tilted his head and thought for a while, and remembered a sentence in the "Bible": "You must not eat anything that has a divided hoof and does not chew the cud?"

Nick nodded: "That's right."

"This is because at that time, in areas ruled by Islam and Christianity, livestock could not be raised scientifically and standardizedly. What animals had hooves and needed to chew the cud? It was grass-eating cattle and sheep, while pigs also had hooves. It is an omnivorous animal. It eats mud, feces, rotten meat, and garbage thrown away by people... so pigs have a high probability of being infected with diseases and parasites, which made people more likely to get sick when they ate pork. So that Pork was banned at the time. And when we collectively raised hogs on clean fodder, in Protestantism, this taboo was automatically abolished."

Tom snorted, and then said disgustedly: "But Protestantism still stipulates that blood cannot be eaten, saying that there is life in blood."

Nick grinned: "There is indeed life in the blood. For example, your favorite snake. Most wild snakes have parasites in their bodies, such as Sparganum monsonii, whipworm, tongueworm, tapeworm, pseudostrongyloid , stick nematodes, etc., there are more than ten kinds of lethal ones. In addition to parasites, snake blood contains various toxins and germs. Seeing God is not far away."

"So, Tom," Nick said sternly, "you can despise morality and teachings, but you can't despise them just because of your arrogance without knowing anything. You know, these old antiques can be passed down. It makes sense, they all contain or once contained great wisdom. Even if some of them seem stupid now, they did protect countless people in that age when most human beings were mediocre and ignorant .”

"Arrogance in ignorance is the most dangerous," Nick looked tenderly at Tom, who turned his head away because he was uncomfortable, "but Tom, if one day you can formulate better rules to defeat them, then I will proud of you."

Nick, who had just finished talking with the child, just turned around and ran into the child's father not far away.

"Is that how you educated him while I was away?"

Nick was taken aback by him and thought: What can I do?I am also very disappointed in your son's situation!

He said helplessly: "Otherwise? I'll tell him a fairy tale? Tell him that the kind little prince Tom will be rescued by a princess even if he can't swim and falls into the sea, and then they will live happily together?"

His elder brother frowned and questioned, "But didn't you say that when you were young?"

Nick was at a loss: "Huh? What did I say when I was young?"

"When you gave a speech at school, you said that you think virtue is the most beautiful quality a person can have. We should try our best to restrain ourselves with virtue, but everyone's growth environment and material conditions are different. So we shouldn't use virtue to criticize others."

"Yes, that's what I think now. That's why I didn't use my own standards to ask your son."

===========================

Now that Tom has revised his homework schedule, Nick suddenly has an extra day off to do nothing.When he woke up in the morning, it was just dawn, he lay on the bed with Xiao Jin on his pillow and looked at the ceiling for a while, and spent a second choosing between helping Roland with the documents and going to Cambridge to surprise Alan (?) .

After three years, Nick felt that the relationship with Allen had progressed rapidly. For example, he was now familiar with all of Allen's little habits, and he was able to find him when needed according to these little habits!

Without waking up his sleeping family members, he quietly went downstairs and opened the car door, which was still stained with morning dew, and drove with ease to the Cambridge campus 90 kilometers away.

It was already 8 o'clock when he arrived, ignoring a group of students around him who were holding up signs to support Oxford, he climbed up the spiral wooden stairs and found Alan who was sitting on the roof reading a book with a teddy bear in his arms · Turing.

"Morning!" He crawled to sit next to Allen on his hands and feet.

Allen sighed helplessly looking at the sweat on his forehead, took a book from the side and handed it to him.

Nick was satisfied. He opened the book and felt that the lemma of Lyapunov No. 12 on this page was really interesting, but it seemed that there was something missing. Otherwise, it’s a good idea to hug a bear next time. Tsk, what a good idea !

Ah, what a wonderful weekend.

The author has something to say: Nick: After three years, I have made great progress in the male god strategy project BALABALA...

Judges (readers): You idiot!It's been three years and I haven't even got a hand!

PS: Let’s talk about the story of going back to school, it’s full of twists and turns.At that time, the notice to return to school was very sudden. We were only given two days, and we were notified on Friday that we would report on Sunday.I had a fierce ideological struggle (mainly because the other two seniors in the research group on the list all expressed their desire to go back), so I also submitted an application to return to school.Then on Friday night, a brother said that his mentor could not be contacted abroad, and he could not go back without the approval of his mentor.

I thought: okay.At least one more brother.

The next day, Saturday, from the daytime, the instructor pulled us back to school into various groups like a convulsion, and then the rules and arrangements for returning to school in the group were changed three times a day, and finally received the instructor during dinner at night phone calls to join an urgent videoconference right away.During the meeting, the instructor persuaded us not to come back in various ways, and persuaded us to quit for an hour.

Another brother of mine said on the spot that he would not go back, and then more than half of the people on the list said they would not go back.Let me think about it, do I have to go back and stare at my instructor?Decisively said that he would not go back.

Oh, really, I don't know what to say.
