After the election of the Student Union of Central University ended, everyone was satisfied with the result. Although Liu Bei was a little disappointed, the Party President also said at the beginning that he could only say that he had gone from no chance to a chance. It was good to be able to lose by a slight advantage in the end. Even Yuan Shao, who looked down on him before, was squeezed down by Liu Bei because he was only a few votes away, so he showed a little more respect for Liu Bei after the election.

As I said before, Yuan Shao's thoughts are typical aristocraticism, and also typical strength supremacy. If you are not strong, or he does not think that your strength is strong enough, he will not look at you with an equal perspective. Therefore, you need to be slapped hard in the face several times before you are willing to bow your head respectfully.

As for being able to endure it after being given up a lot of face, in the upper class, not only will it not be ridiculed by others, but it will gain the respect of elites who truly control the direction of the family. Of course, the premise is that some things later prove that the person who dares to slap him in the face does have enough strength to make him bow his head.

If you want to say the only person who is not satisfied with the result, then the party is patriotic. A talented person cannot reach the height he deserves because he has no background and relationships. This will really arouse his strong indignation. However, in this era when the aristocratic families are directly in power, everyone except him thinks this is not a matter of course.

Moreover, the Party and Patriotic Republic of China know that even in later generations, this situation is still a very common social phenomenon. So he cannot say or do something about the results of this election according to his own wishes. This is reality - or this is reality. What talent + hard work = success, that is just a passionate comic, it is just a dream.

After all, social relations and family property are also part of strength. If the strength of the protagonist yy can exceed the real strength given by the "reality" that calculates all factors that affect strength, and the real strength value of the villain boss, then it is also reasonable for them to defeat the boss.

But why is this yy? It is because from the known physical laws, a person's power cannot reach this level; from the known social reality, the wealth created by the grassroots genius who started from scratch is far inferior to the wealth of the aristocratic families that have accumulated over hundreds or even thousands of years - after all, "they" have not stagnated, and their own abilities are not bad.

Although the Party was a little unhappy with patriotism, he could only look at the benefits now. Through this election, he once again clearly realized that these students from aristocratic families still had the same understanding, and interests were still what they valued the most, with origins and reputations ranked second, and then ability.

But no matter what, their emphasis on ability has increased a lot. If it weren't for some exchange of interests outside the school, Liu Bei might have been able to succeed as chairman. As long as they value interests the most, there would be no reason to reject science innately, which is the most important thing for the party's patriotism.

Of course, maybe a person who has no noble bloodline and who has been poor and lower-middle peasants for eight lifetimes has become the "real" supreme leader through elections... Not to mention that after 2000, even after 2000, it is just a fantasy.

It would be okay if it was a feudal conquest in feudal society, but the peasant sons might have won the position of emperor by themselves, while the democratic elections in civilized society would not have been possible for such grassroots myths to appear again. In other words, with the progress of the times, class mobility has become worse and the social structure has become more solid.

Regarding this, the Party really has no good way to patriotism. Later generations did not completely solve this problem, but adopted a hidden and more deceptive system to perfunctorily cope with ordinary people, so he didn't know what to do to be the correct answer. Moreover, he believed that this problem could not be completely solved at all, because it is impossible for a vested interest to do nothing and watch others obtain huge benefits that will make him moved.

Therefore, he strengthened his initial idea: through technological competition, these rulers can realize the importance of the quantity and quality of talents. When they urgently need a large number of talents, they have to take measures to cultivate talents in large quantities and promulgate incentives to let the trainees see the benefits they can obtain.

Just like high-tech weapons, without talent, first of all, the institute cannot be designed, secondly, the factory cannot be built, and finally the soldiers cannot be used. And how many high-tech weapons can be produced by a small number of weapon design experts and high-tech workers, and how many soldiers with bachelor's degree or above who can learn to use or repair it? There are only 18,000 people, is it enough for them to fight?

To put it bluntly, it is still the "catfish effect". China has never been able to compete with a country with a higher level of technology than it, and has basically been a country with science and technology exports, so the speed of scientific and technological progress has not been raised - after all, China's own scientific and technological competitiveness at this time was enough, and there was no urgent need for scientific and technological talents.

After being surpassed by other countries, China was alone under the technological blockade of other countries, so the speed of technological progress was also rapid—and it was much faster than that of ordinary small countries. The huge population is both a burden, but also an advantage. After all, no matter how high the education level is, the success rate of talents cannot be 100%. Not to mention planting cabbage, even if you plant a tree, you may not be able to survive in the end.

Speaking of population, before the Party’s patriotic journey, many scholars have already begun to criticize the family planning policy. According to their view, if the number of newborns is too small, the country’s competitive potential will decline. When the country enters aging, the new generation will still bear a heavy burden of pension.

However, the policy of family planning is just a helpless move after there is no more living space. Although family planning will weaken the competitive potential of the country and the nation, if you can't even get through the current level, then there will be no future.

And will it really be better if there are too many people? The most important problem facing aging is not that fewer people pay pension insurance, but because the loopholes in previous pension insurance were too big. This is just like commercial insurance and insurance companies have involved many people's insurance money and ran away. Everyone is taking pension insurance into their own pockets, and many people don't pay enough.

Otherwise, pension insurance itself is used to invest in elderly savings in industries with high returns and almost no risks. Even if most of the people who worked in the past could not do it, relying on the principal and income of their pensions, it would be basically enough to live until they die.

After all, these monthly pensions, which have always been investment-based, will increase even if their owners cannot do anything. With the advancement of technology and the increase in productivity, although the number of new generations has decreased a little, the productivity is much higher than before.

It is precisely because of the development of technology that there is no need for fewer people, and it is enough to make up for it by improving unit production efficiency - the same is true for war. On the contrary, if there are more people, there are not so many production tools that can increase efficiency.

In this way, every time a person with very low production efficiency is added - even if he creates more resources than the resources consumed, it is not objectively cost-effective. After all, if these resources are saved and given to people with high production efficiency, more materials will be produced.

The reasonable number of people in a country can actually be calculated, that is, the number of users required for efficient production tools in society is more than the society's high-efficiency production tools. Therefore, the reasonable number of newborns can also be calculated, that is, the number of more efficient production tools created in ten months.

If you don’t calculate this way, there is also a way to take into account the best of both worlds even if the people are allowed to give birth to a child, even if they can take into account the country’s current national strength and future competitive potential.

This method is to implement a cruel last-place elimination system. People with low abilities are allowed to consume only a little resources, and even deprive babies who are considered to be low abilities early on. This is "eugenics". When the theory of eugenics was just proposed, some scientists proposed that they should do this. However, the method they proposed was to prohibit the reproduction of people with low abilities, because from the perspective of eugenics, the children they gave birth to are poor.

If we look at it from a scientific point of view alone, this is indeed more efficient, but most people cannot accept this practice. It would be fine if babies with low abilities or genetic diseases are prohibited from being born. The key is to harm their own interests. "Distribution of social resources and even reproductive power according to their abilities" will be opposed by everyone - this is just because of the selfishness of human beings, and there is no reason to truly stand firm.

What's more, this kind of "eugenics" that is already relatively cold is often used as a theoretical basis for racism and even fascism. This makes people who have resisted the last-place elimination system because of their selfishness have sufficient excuses to trample on it so that they will never turn over.

Another method is to develop science and technology. When productivity reaches the rate of increase in the production resources, it is far beyond the consumption rate including the newly added human beings. Because humans have limited natural fertility, the fertility cycle is ten months, and usually only one birth per fetus is given. However, before science and technology reaches the level of species, this method is the same as there is no such thing as this.

If you do not adopt these two methods of best-in-one and refuse to plan for family planning, then there is another "temporary" method that seems to be the best of both worlds, which is to constantly plunder resources and export population to the outside world for expansion. Under the leadership of the Party's patriotism, this is indeed possible - as long as the Party's patriotism will not die of old age within hundreds of years, it is absolutely easy to let the Chinese occupy the entire earth.

However, the earth is so big, and the resources that can be consumed are limited after all. So can human technology improve to the extent that it can rely on existing resources to produce materials that meet everyone's needs before the earth is completely filled with people? Of course, there is no need to worry about this issue, because when there is insufficient resources, all human beings will take the initiative to give up some people to save another. Perhaps the basis for choice is different, but in essence it is the same.

In this regard, humans are no different from other animals or plants. When there is insufficient food, animals will abandon the elderly and weak; when there is insufficient sunshine, plants will strive to grow higher to block the sunshine of other companions; when there is insufficient supplies, among humans, the first person who is abandoned is the elderly, the weak, the sick and the disabled, the second person who is abandoned is the people without "power", the next person who is abandoned is the people who are incapable, and the last person who is abandoned is the people who fail or even die in the battle for materials.

This is an objective law that exists only in the biological world - natural selection and survival of the fittest. Other objects in the universe seem to not apply to this law. But perhaps we have not discovered it for the time being, but in fact, in our unknown fields, those lifeless inorganic objects may also be fighting to the death for "survival".

Therefore, this is not the cruelty of human beings, but the cruelty of the world we are in is originally. Or it is natural that the world operates like this, but we humans mistakenly regard it as a kind of cruelty.
