Chapter 1993 Technology and Magic III
Temple of rocks.
In fact, after all, science or metaphysics is nothing more than people's different ways of cognition of the real world...
No matter which way of cognition of the world is, it is essentially just a process of blind people touching an elephant!
No one knows what the real world looks like...
So I can only touch the world in a way that I can understand and forcefully summarize some rules...
The so-called truth, in essence, is actually just this kind of summary rule!
The truth itself is not absolute, it is always relative. Rules that are established in an environment may become unrecognizable if another environment is changed!
This is a very simple truth!
By the same token, the reason why traditional Chinese medicine seems incredible and incomprehensible in the eyes of Western medicine is essentially because Western medicine can only judge a kind of medical skill by Western medicine’s cognition of medicine. From a scientific perspective, traditional Chinese medicine is naturally very unscientific...
Because it is unscientific, everything will naturally arouse doubts and will naturally make people feel unacceptable and uncomprehensible...
However, judging whether a thing is reasonable from a scientific perspective is actually biased. To deny metaphysics from a scientific perspective is itself a kind of behavior similar to a black whistle. It is naturally difficult for people to truly believe in it as an athlete and have the responsibilities of a referee!
Traditional Chinese medicine itself cannot be understood. In the final analysis, it is simply because the theoretical system of traditional Chinese medicine itself is based on a theoretical system similar to the metaphysics such as Yin and Yang and Five Elements. Under such a system, only those who understand the theoretical system of metaphysics can be qualified to identify the medical level of a traditional Chinese medicine. If they do not have the ability to understand this theoretical system, then in fact, any comments are irresponsible...
There was once a great man who said that without investigation, there would be no right to speak!
The basis of investigation is actually understanding. Only by understanding can we investigate. Only by passing the investigation can we have a certain right to speak for something!
—————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————
In a sense, in modern society, people have long been accustomed to judging the authenticity of a thing with a scientific perspective...
But in fact, judging metaphysical things with a scientific perspective is an unscientific thing in itself!
Just like acupuncture in traditional Chinese medicine, in the eyes of Westerners, it is actually a completely incomprehensible concept of metaphysics. By the same token, the so-called qi and blood, the so-called lightness and internal strength in traditional martial arts are naturally nothing to understand in the cognition of Western fighters!
The reason is very simple...
Whether it is Western medicine or Western fighters, in essence, their understanding of their own abilities is actually quantified in scientific ways!
For the same disease, what kind of indicators are considered as the early stage, what kind of indicators are considered terminally ill, what kind of age is at certain danger, and what kind of age is relatively safe. In Western medicine, there are very clear indicators, what kind of diseases are easy to treat, and what kind of diseases are difficult to treat. Just look at the pathological indicators, you can see at a glance...
After all, the severity of the disease is based on data. The essence of science is the summary and summary at the data level. The higher the scientific development, the more detailed this summary and summary will be. Especially for the genetics, as long as it is studied to a certain level, theoretically, it can cure any disease...
By the same token, Western fighters are the same. Their understanding of combat is actually based on data!
The body is heavy and the arm is long, and then the strength of the punch, the body fat rate, the degree of muscles, and the functions of every part of the body. The stronger these factors are, the stronger the actual combat ability of a fighter!
This is a very, very intuitive factor to make a judgment on the strength of a fighter!
In essence, this concept is actually very simple after all, it is nothing more than that the better the physical fitness, the stronger the strike ability and fighting ability, and the stronger the fighting ability will naturally be!
It is because of this that all Westerners’ fighting is actually very particular about the so-called heavyweight!
Almost every fighting master is full of muscles and a representative figure with a burly figure...
Because the muscle itself represents a powerful explosive power and strong ability to resist strikes!
The stronger the muscles, the stronger the strength of your own!
Especially in events like boxing, offense is always greater than dodging. Most of the time, boxing competition is not the ability to kill one blow, but the ability, speed and skills to exchange injuries with each other. Although it is equally important in boxing, it does not play a decisive position after all. What really determines a boxer's strength is the strength of both offense and defense!
A powerful boxing champion, even if he bears a few punches from his opponent, is no big deal. However, as long as they hit the opponent, the opponent may fall to the ground. In such a battle, the effect of speed and skills is actually very weak, and physique is the fundamental factor!
If you have a strong physique, you can withstand more attacks. Each attack can cause greater damage. This is a natural powerful factor!
This is actually an innate advantage!
—————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————
In the cognition of Westerners, the gap between body shape and physique in the innate sense is often an absolute gap!
For example, in the eyes of Westerners, this gap is like the impact of basketball players' height on their talents!
In fact, since basketball was pioneered, it has always been a long-term sports. The height of an athlete is the main factor that fundamentally affects an athlete's talent. Unless it is a very small number of amazing existences, the most basic basis for most basketball players to engage in this job is height!
In basketball, it is never about choosing high-stature athletes before they are skilled. On the contrary, it is about selecting athletes from a tall group!
Having a height is high enough, it can be said that it is the most basic condition for becoming a basketball player!
After all, talent is invisible and intangible, but height is real!
Instead of investing resources on those so-called basketball geniuses, it is better to invest resources on those tall players. Acquired factors can be changed through hard work, but the innate conditions are innate and cannot make any changes at all...
By the same token, in the Western fighting philosophy, weight and physique are also a very important talent indicator!
Of course, among the two, physique is actually more representative than weight!
Weight is just based on the weight of art. Theoretically, even a short person can turn himself into a fat man by overeating and having a very high weight, but this weight has nothing to do with this combat power!
What truly determines the combat effectiveness of a fighter is, after all, his physique plays a decisive role. The physique determines the upper limit of a person's muscles. That is to say, on the basis of maintaining a basic figure, he also has the most developed muscles. This is the state where a fighter can exert his strongest strength...
On the basis of maintaining a basic figure, the heavier a person's weight, the stronger the actual combat ability of the person in fighting will be!
This kind of strength has nothing to do with fighting skills, it is just the strength of the body in the simple sense!
This is why Western fighting competitions or competition systems will divide the heavyweights!
Only the same heavyweight player has the basis for competition skills, and the strength gap between different heavyweight players is actually very different! The weight gap makes each other have huge gaps on both offense and defense, and this gap is almost something that Western fighting skills can make up for!
And only the highest weight level competition is often the most concerned game, because in this way, the boxing champion produced by the competition is the real boxing champion!
—————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————
However, the fundamental reason why this kind of fighting or boxing competition in the West is so popular is very simple...
First of all, the first point is because of the truth!
After all, such a battle itself is a kind of confrontation that is close to actual combat!
It is a duel between strength, speed, and strike ability!
Secondly, the second point is because of intuition!
People can intuitively see various data of boxers, intuitively recognize the destructive power of boxers, and intuitively understand how powerful boxers are!
These two points are things that traditional Eastern martial arts do not have!
Traditional Eastern martial arts rarely have practical competitions, and there is no intuitive data description. It is naturally difficult for people to truly believe!
The most important thing is that among the traditional Eastern martial arts, there are some so-called unscientific content, such as the so-called flying eaves and walls, the so-called chicken crowing and dog stealing, and the so-called internal energy, qi and blood...
In this way, to many outsiders, traditional martial arts naturally look like a scam...
Many people even doubt whether traditional oriental martial arts really do not have any practical significance. Are the so-called magical things in traditional oriental martial arts really all scams, and they are really fake things!
In fact, the reason why such doubts arise is essentially not difficult to understand, it is simply because most people lack sufficient understanding of Eastern martial arts in the traditional sense!
Unlike Western martial arts, there has never been a so-called heavyweight concept in practical martial arts in Eastern martial arts!
There has never been a so-called height and weight gap!
On the contrary, in traditional Chinese martial arts, there are many battles to defeat opponents through height and weight, overcoming height and overcoming factors!
Because the traditional Chinese martial arts itself is an indiscriminate practical battle!
There is no need to choose an opponent, no need to consider what kind of person the opponent is, what kind of martial arts he practices, what kind of background he has, and no need to be afraid of the difference in his body shape and physique!
The battle itself starts from actual combat. The winner lives and the loser dies. There is no unnecessary nonsense to say!
