[Comprehensive] Uncle Ba's food paradise

Clark actually talked to Professor Hopkins about it before he became Superman.

Like any young adult, he makes up his mind, but he needs to discuss it with his parents for support or advice.

"Tell me first, what is your purpose of becoming Superman?"

"Purpose? To help the people I can, since I can."

Clark's idea started out as simple as that.

But after talking with the professor, he knew that it was not as simple as he thought.

"If this is your purpose, then you have to remember, Clark, you are not a god, and gods are omnipotent."

Seeing that he still didn't understand, the professor gave him an example.

A car went through the tunnel, then the tunnel collapsed, the car was buried in it, many people were injured, only one doctor was inside.At this time, what will the doctor do?

To save those he can save?

If he really does this, he may not be able to save many people in the end, and many people will die.

Oxygen is limited under the collapsed tunnel, and the physical strength of the doctor is limited. Even if the doctor does not have these restrictions, the wounded will suffer.Among them, the seriously injured can persist for a limited time. Perhaps when the doctor is struggling to treat a slightly injured patient, the seriously injured has already died.

So the correct way is to organize other people who can move and the slightly injured, let them search and rescue the remaining people, mark the injuries according to the severity, and the doctor will take a few people to quickly deal with the serious injuries among these people, and the others It can help to deal with minor injuries.

- This is a mode of operation.

"There is a crueler logic."

The professor went on to explain.

Oxygen is limited, and no matter how fast the search and rescue team arrives, it will take a few days to arrive. Rescuing more people means more people will die.Because everyone will die from the exhaustion of oxygen.

Then we should give priority to gathering and treating the slightly injured first, so as to ensure the survival of those with a higher survival rate.

"There is also this in many medical trainings. If there are two injured patients at the same time, both on the verge of life and death, then the rescue success rate is higher. It is not to give up the one with the lower success rate, but to choose to ensure that both of them are safe." Save, the result with a high probability is that both of them die."

The first treatment is more humane, and the second is more realistic and logical.

In fact, there is a small trap here, and there are not only these two methods to choose from.But what Hannibal said made people follow his train of thought, and unconsciously agreed that they had to choose one of the two.

"I'm sorry, Professor, although I understand, I don't quite understand how this affects my current situation."

"Then let me put it bluntly, if you want to become a superman, you have to choose who you want to save and the scope."

Choose the metropolis as the key rescue area, other nearby areas may be radiated, and do not interfere with other areas unless serious problems occur-these are the basic settings that Superman must make.

Superman could try to save everyone, but that's not realistic, and Superman himself died of overwork before that happened.Unless he doesn't live, doesn't eat, doesn't drink, doesn't sleep, and burns himself out all the time, he can't save so many people.

Superman can also save people in major dangers all over the world, turning a blind eye to the little things.But that's not good. People will question what kind of thing is important, and will there be many deaths?Is the importance of human life determined by quantity?Or have a major impact on the world?Does Superman want to manipulate the entire world?

In addition, based on the professor's understanding of Clark himself, he is not the type who doesn't help when things happen around him are trivial.All are equal in his eyes.

"Human nature is selfish. Clark, your thoughts are beautiful, and your parents, the Kent couple, are the kindest people I have ever met. But not everyone is like this. Most people are selfish, so Everything you do is based on what’s best for you.”

The professor explained grimly.

"There is a person who helps others and does not ask for anything in return. What do you think? No, this kind of person cannot exist. If this kind of life exists, it will perish in the cruel biological competition. They will think, this It seems that they don’t ask for anything in return, but they are actually asking for a higher return that they can’t afford.”

"If you have worked in society, then you should know that nothing is more expensive than what you don't get paid for. Everyone in this world learns this common sense in such a natural competition."

Clark couldn't argue.

When he started his own business, he encountered a lot of troubles and met many kind people, but he was also cheated many times.The professor is right, people who are willing to give a little help, don't ask for payment, it is not worrying.Most of the great things that seem to offer particularly favorable conditions turn out to cost several times more than the apparent benefits.

He somewhat understood what the professor meant.

Superman has brought too much help to the world regardless of rewards, which is the great thing of this overly favorable condition.

Even if it is only a little help for him, the power is not equal, and other people don't see it that way.

"So this is the reason you gave them. You must fix a key protected area. This will make people see your selfishness, think that you have desires, and think that your abilities are limited, so they can accept your help calmly."

Why does Superman focus on protecting a certain city?

People will come up with many reasons.

For example, he has limited capabilities and can only cover one city.Then that's great, his abilities are bounded, not invincible, terrifying, unattainable.

For another example, it is very likely that he himself lives in this city, and he has selfish motives.That would be even better. This proves that he has desires and desires. His original intention of helping others may be to make the city he lives in a better life. He helps those major crises in distant places just to not threaten his own survival. The place.He is not hopeless.

Furthermore, this city is his weakness, and Superman has a weakness. Even if one shot of the gun may not necessarily kill Superman, at least they know where the gun can go, which will give them a lot of peace of mind.

Clarke realized something: "So, is this why a lot of superheroes live in a certain city?"

"No, those superheroes, all superheroes, the range of their activities is limited by their abilities, and the reason for their activities is purely to maintain their own living environment. There is no one like you, Clark, you are unique. "

At this time Clark understood the full meaning of the professor's expression.

Just like many years ago, he had to pretend to be an ordinary person and be extra careful when living with other people.

Now it's just a change of background, he has to pretend to be an 'ordinary' superhero, and he can't make ordinary people, and other superheroes, feel 'out of place'.

When I was a student, there was a time limit. If I graduated from school and lived alone, I don’t have to worry about it.

"When I get the approval of everyone, most of the 'heroes', can I do what I want without worrying about those?"

Clark asked naively, not realizing that what he said was actually quite scary to some extent.

"Perhaps so."

Unless, someone realizes what's going on and stops you before then.This person has to look beyond the surface to see the essence, realize that only Superman is equal to a country or a stronger armed force.

Tell me, what happened to the last time a self-righteous world policeman forcibly intervened in the affairs of other countries with his own justice?war.The country collapses.Hegemonism looms over.

All over the world, ignoring the consciousness of the other party's political system and forcibly intervening, regardless of whether the reason is to attack bad guys, is essentially ignoring law enforcement power, ignoring sovereignty, and acquiescing to the worst behavior that the country's political system and law enforcement system are unable to enforce themselves.This will cause national law enforcement agencies to lose credibility and even law enforcement capabilities, and even use this kind of vicious competition to paralyze and eventually collapse the existing system operated by a country.Inevitably, it will eventually develop into brutal hegemony.

Regardless of the mood of the original executor, this is the inevitable result of an overly powerful armed force intervening in the affairs of other countries at will.Disregarding the freedom and sovereignty of other countries is such a serious matter.Therefore, no matter how difficult many countries are, they do not want to accept the rescue of the United Nations or the so-called world police.They know that once they start, they will lose their sovereignty and credibility, and it will be difficult to maintain freedom and autonomy in the future.

With Clark's worldview and the people he came into contact with, it was impossible for him to think of these things.Pioneers who can perceive the seriousness of the matter are difficult to explain and persuade others, and will instead become villains who prevent justice from being carried out.

You know, Hitler's original dream was to make people's lives better.What was going on in the mind of a young man who had gone through the First World War, was forced into the army by a multi-ethnic country, and finally had to turn into a beggar?Not world domination or ethnic massacre, at first all he thought about was whether he could have a piece of bread and milk.After he became a public enemy, everyone was familiar with his massacre and hegemony. No one mentioned that he was more diligent than his predecessors. In the early days of Nazi Germany, he realized the "every family There will always be bread and milk on the table" promise.

Funny, huh?Different angles will have completely different views.That's why humans are more interesting than other creatures.

But strictly speaking, Clark is not a human being, he can only be regarded as a humanoid creature from an alien.Keeping this major premise in mind, let’s think about Clark’s ambition again. Isn’t there a subtle thrill and irony?
