Look for certainty in uncertainty. Uncertainty creates doubt, nihilism, fanaticism and other states that affect everyone all the time. Because of this, everyone hopes to be confirmed.

If the sun does not rise every day, then the worship of the sun will always exist, and the fear of the sun will not disappear. For example, the Trisolarans, they have always been afraid of the sun, because the three suns are full of uncertainty, so the sun's Faith never goes away.

But the earth’s sun rises every day. Once humans are sure of this, they no longer worship the sun because it is unnecessary.

All rational and irrational human behaviors are based on the hope of turning uncertainty into certainty, such as offering sacrifices to pray for rain, and even human sacrifices. But with development, more and more experiences have been accumulated, letting everyone know that sacrifice does not work.

With the development of science, technology has also encountered bottlenecks, and it cannot turn all uncertainties into certainty. For example, Schrödinger's cat is in a state of uncertainty and cannot turn into the certainty that humans need.

Therefore, from ancient times to the present, human pursuits have not changed. They are all pursuing certainty in uncertainty, which is to constantly think about and fight against uncertainty. Finally, we found a relatively stable "certainty", but in fact, everyone knows that the so-called "certainty" is only for a moment.

But the comfort brought by a moment of ‘certainty’ is enough to make all mankind flock to it.

Arisu Ryohei listened to Duran singing along with the medical students, and finally realized that all his doubts about society also stemmed from uncertainty. He is not sure whether he can study well, not sure whether he can work harder than his younger brother, and not sure whether his father will approve of him after he works hard...

There are too many uncertainties in society. On the contrary, in the death game, winning leads to life and losing leads to death is more certain, which allows him to perform stably. Because I see the result, I can find a way to clear the game with peace of mind.

The death game turns complex uncertainty into simple uncertainty and simplifies things. After all, the rules of the death game are absolute. Unlike the rules of the earth society, which can be changed, there are more factors that affect the outcome. Arisu Ryohei finally realized that life is the most difficult game, and the game of death is just a more certain gamble.

The game of death only seeks to win or lose, and the standards are very clear. If you are alive, you win, and if you are dead, you lose. But the standards of life are very vague. Sometimes you think you have won, but others say you have lost. If you want to win, you must not only be recognized by yourself, but also recognized by others...

"It seems that I have to thank this game." At first, I was afraid of facing the death game because of the 'uncertainty' brought by the changes. After winning a few times, I was convinced that the rules of the game were absolute, and I felt relieved. "It's just that legal citizens are the same as us and are pursuing certainty. Do we really need to fight to the end?" Ryohei Arisu has another question, that is, if different people pursue the same 'certainty', should they fight?

"Didn't I say that there will be unkindness and there will be unkindness, and fighting is inevitable."

"Then I can give up fighting and do nothing." Arisu Ryohei said that he wanted to do nothing and be a useless person.

At this time, we have to talk about Zhuangzi. He was trying to survive in troubled times, but he also believed that he should be a useless person, so he told his disciples a story about a big tree that was useless because it could not be used to make furniture or coffins. There were no flowers or fruits, so no one harmed it, and it grew into a big tree in the sky. Zhuangzi said that he wanted to be useless.

However, his disciple encountered another incident. He went to someone else's house to be a guest, and the host was very polite and prepared to kill a chicken to entertain the disciple. There are two chickens at home. One chicken crows every day when the sun rises, and the other chicken never crows. The owner's wife asked which one to kill? The owner said to kill the one that doesn’t scream, it’s useless if it doesn’t scream, so kill it.

The tree is useless and alive. The chicken is useless and dead.

So the disciple ran to ask Zhuangzi, what should we do? Zhuangzi had no choice but to say that I have to be somewhere between useless and useful. Obviously Zhuangzi also knows that in troubled times, usefulness and uselessness are equally as likely to die. The reason for not dying is just survivor bias, just chance, and just luck.

Zhuangzi hopes to find a certain state to maintain his life. But in troubled times, there is no certain state. Being alive can only be said to be luck. If you are unlucky, you will die regardless of whether it is useful or useless.

"Do you think that by doing nothing, you can be sure? Obviously not. Doing nothing is actually violating the rules of the Land of the Dying. So fighting is the real way to be sure." Duran said.

"For the sake of your own certainty, do you have to destroy the certainty of others?" Arisu Ryohei said.

"This is the case now. That's why we need to record data and continue to accumulate experience. In ancient times, in order to be sure, human beings would kill people and sacrifice themselves, just to ask for rain or for the sun to rise as usual. Isn't that more cruel than now? Only When humans accumulate enough experience, they will realize how stupid murder and sacrifice are, and they will realize that whether it rains or whether the sun rises or not is not decided by humans, and sacrifice is meaningless." "It is the same now. , currently human beings are fighting in pursuit of certainty, but as future generations understand more and more about the Land of the Dying, and the rules become clearer, they will understand that the current fighting is the same as the ancient sacrifices. By then, people will be there Civilization can also be established in the Land of the Dying. It’s just that we don’t have enough experience and knowledge right now, so fighting is still necessary. The sacrifices in ancient times were meaningful at the time, so fighting is also meaningful now.”

Arisu Ryohei's ideals are good, but ideals also need support from experience and knowledge. Once humans master the rules of the Land of Dying, they will naturally make changes.

But before the soil for realizing his ideals appears, what Arisu Ryohei has to do is to put away his ideals and prepare to fight.

Arisu Ryohei was silent. He realized that his power was so small that he could not resist the dying country. Just like ancient humans were unable to resist the darkness of night.

In the darkness, primitive people prayed frantically for the sun to rise. Now he prayed just as frantically for peace.

Primitive people offered sacrifices to pray for certainty, even sacrificing their enemies. The same goes for The Last Nation, where players and legal residents are willing to kill each other for the sake of certainty.

In the end, primitive people gave up sacrifices because they realized that the sun would rise every day, and they had mastered fire, which could resist darkness without the sun. Experience and knowledge replaced sacrifice, but the process of accumulating experience and developing knowledge continued for hundreds or even thousands of years.

A person's life is only a few decades, and all he can do is accumulate experience and knowledge. Arisu Ryohei realized that his ideals could not be realized in this generation, so he could only inherit his ideals. At this moment, he finally realized his wish for the world. reconciliation. The unreasonableness in the world is not defeated by ideals, but by experience and knowledge. To realize ideals is not to fight against the world, but to accumulate experience and knowledge and pass them on.

The unkindness of the world does not mean fighting with kindness. Lao Tzu said, benevolence versus unkindness, nothing will change in the end. What is needed is to adjust one's posture, put oneself in the position of water, in a place that everyone hates, and nurture all things. What is needed to nurture all things is nutrition, and these nutrients are experience and knowledge.

At this moment Arisu Ryohei transcended benevolence and unbenevolence and reached the realm where Tao follows nature.

Du Lan said that he had finally fulfilled his goal of being a life mentor and educated a second-grade teenager, and was very satisfied. At this time, just smiling is fine.
