Chapter 4 On the Clerk of the Knowledge Exchange

On the Clerk of the Knowledge Exchange "The natural enemy of every science is its professor." ──William James There are roughly three types of buddies in the Knowledge Exchange: the first type is writing books and talking about them, and most of them are not reconciled to being old. Working in this unpromising store, I think of a university professor who shows his skills in the yamen; the second is to settle down The middle school teacher who keeps himself, says no, and spends his time as he pleases; Sometimes the 1 yuan wages have to be removed from the director of education to entertain scholars who give lectures on the week (that is, they are two years older than them).

A professor who writes books at the first level, and a primary school teacher.Although their joys and sorrows are also different, they have a common the same color.It seems that the guys in the bank always have a snobbish face, and there is not a single waiter in the hotel who is not With an immoral air, the barber is always grooming, a low-society dandy, and every car The coachman made us feel that there must be a concubine in their house.In the same way, the teaching craftsman has a unique color, It is just like the flesh on the killer's face, which has branded them for life. The clerk in the sugar shop must not like sugar biscuits, and the clerk in the cloth shop usually wears cheap and not beautiful clothes.

Materials, "Selling a fan to cover the sun with your mother's hand" is the most common thing in the world, so the guys at the knowledge store are the most uncommon. People who like knowledge and have lost their desire for knowledge.It's no wonder that they, messing with those things all day long, relying on Those things are used to feed yourself and support your wife. Whether you are happy or not, you have to say these things as usual every day How come they don’t hate knowing that they have spent tens of minutes or a few hours, teaching this year and next year. know?Let’s just say that she is a peerless beauty, who spends every day together like this, always flirting with you for more than ten years, and also

Will make you feel tired.So for knowledge, they lost the curiosity that children have.they always They don't buy books very much. At best, they just take a dozen or so big books from the library home and put them on the bookshelves so that the ashes Dustfish and spiders come to taste, forgetting that they have borrowed books from the library, and sometimes even taking them The name of the book was written on the blackboard, saying that this is a book that students in their class must refer to, so that the honest students came to the picture. They are so anxious to death that they can't find books in the library; but when they themselves are high on the podium, they have long forgotten

After the affair of the past, he also generously vacated the bookshelf at home to save some space for the school library.They put this every day In their eyes, this knowledge seems to have been stored when the chaos first opened and the universe began to be settled. In the world, they simply did not think that this knowledge was obtained by the curious scholars of ancient times without the help of thousands of hardships. Snatched from "nature" like a spy in a tiger's den.They neither see the zeal of the ancient scholars, nor are they interested in knowledge itself. Because they are too familiar to give birth to boredom, they always feel that knowledge is cold, and they will never think about it by themselves.

Go find these frozen hands.Students' curiosity is beyond their understanding, so in seeking the truth They can't be the real leaders of the students in the hide-and-seek game they play, leading them to run around in carnival, and sometimes it is inevitable. I poured some cold water on the young people's excitement, may God forgive them, Amen.Yet at one point they also did I have been a student, and I have had a passionate dream, and I have committed myself to the god of literature and art or science. Once upon a time, my passionate heart The child stood still, and in exchange for this dull, indifferent face, hidden behind the chalk, could not forgive the young man.

People's fanaticism, it can be seen that new self-experience is the most useless thing in the world, otherwise people would not be same from generation to generation. stupid circles.They like the students who write their notes neatly and listen to the lectures, and hate them the most. Most of them were the younger boys who asked nonsense, and they immediately showed hesitation, as if this violated the way of respecting teachers.Law In "The Garden of Epicurus", there is a section of Lang Shi who ridiculed scholars, which can be said to be the best writing of this group of guys.

real.He said: "A little acquaintance with scholars is enough to show us that they are the least curious of men. A few years ago, I happened to be in a big city in Europe. I went to visit the museum there under the leadership of a scholar who kept it. He was very proud of the fossils collected in it, and he was very happy to tell me about them.He gave me a lot of valuable knowledge knowledge, All the way down to the Neocene rock formations.But we walked over to the display case of the formation where the first traces of man were found side, his head suddenly turned away; to my question he replied that it was in the display case he was in charge of.

outside.I know recklessness.No one should ask a scholar about the secrets of the universe that are not in his display case. He is not interested in them. "Telling them to stimulate students' interest in seeking knowledge is really tantamount to finding a lovelorn. There is nothing more ridiculous than telling the gospel of love to young people who have passed by.but we ignored Go, there is no next careful observation, otherwise we don't need to watch Luke and Jabolin's movies, just go to the school Go to school, think about what they are doing, and look at their prudence,

We must laugh until our stomachs ache. Not only do they refuse to bring their axes to seek knowledge, but if you present any new knowledge before them, They don't even pay attention to you, which is pretty good, and maybe they will scold you for a while, saying that they don't understand the heights of the sky and the depths of the earth, Nonsense.It turns out that they have organized a stable system for any knowledge, and they are there all day long. Divided into chapters and sections, the outline is divided into various systems, large and small.You read their textbooks, that's their bible,

There is a summary before and a conclusion after.They took great pains to compile the knowledge discovered by the predecessors into such a world The net, refining this magic weapon, prepares them for lifelong use and the karma of generations to come.If you break this magic weapon, Wouldn't it be embarrassing to turn them into helpless monkeys?Once upon a time people laughed at the scholars of the tedious school Said: When they see a phenomenon in nature that is contrary to what Aristotle said, they would rather believe I believe that my own eyes are wrong, but I refuse to say that what Aristotle said is wrong.The folks at the Knowledge Exchange The same is true of blind obedience and stubbornness towards their system.I heard that there is an economic thinker in a university in the United States. A professor of the history of thought, the economic thought he taught is up to 1890, and the economics published since then To say that he leaves no doubts, as if the universe had been destroyed after 1890, is because he was promoted in that year. As a professor, he also forged his thoughts into a lecture that cannot be moved in that year.remember in the past In Peking, a fellow countryman was studying electrical engineering in a specialized school. He often told me that the textbooks ordered by his husband were all out of print in foreign countries. This was because when these professors They used these books when they lived in the United States more than ten years ago. They dare not forget their roots, so they still hold these books. This book will be on the podium of Chinese universities more than ten years later.The year before last, I heard that my fellow countryman was studying in a specialized school after graduation. I was teaching at the school, and I thought to myself that this textbook might have three generations under one roof.Half of this is due to inertia.in this store After running away for a few years, most of them are already depressed, and where can I find a burst of energy to turn around and learn what I know? The knowledge brought to receive the baptism of metabolism!Half of it is due to the self-defense instinct, they feel that their way Knowledge is their only barrier. If one side raises banners and welcomes new knowledge, they are afraid that they will make trouble in the future. The guest wins the host, what they know will be wiped out, and it will even affect their status in the store.people When people encounter matters of vital interest, most of them only look at the interests and disregard right and wrong. This has become a kind of disdain conscious habit.Authorities in academia are never tired of extreme denigration of new doctrines, sometimes without realizing it. Is there any base motive, I just feel an indescribable distaste for new things, also because it is not natural think.But it is unconscious, so it is even more terrifying.In short, they have bid farewell to the vitality of knowledge, They just hold a dead and empty frame, they are insensitive to new discoveries, they only know how to rely on the old to sell the old to make a day and It's still hitting the clock.What was their own fault that the chalk had hardened their veins? The starting point of the Cartesian philosophy is "I doubt therefore I exist", the philosophy of the guys at the knowledge bazaar The starting point is "I am sure, therefore I exist".They live on affirmations, from the moment they step onto the stage to the bell When the sound is heard, what they say is absolutely certain. The students think that they should know everything, and they also Proud to be omniscient. "The trouble with people is to be a good teacher." The so-called good teacher is like to pretend that I know everything With the air of winning, he said something affirmative to others.This kind of vanity can be found in anyone, these guys But they have the opportunity to develop this imbecile habit every day. No wonder they are all infected with megalomaniacs, arrogant Pretending to be orthodox, he feels that there is only one truth in the world, and that is within his grasp.this color It is almost common to the professors who teach students from Sanjia Village to the professors who teach the history of thought.The spirit of doubt has already flown The clouds have dispersed, the moon has passed and the stars have moved, and what is left is a bleak and gloomy truth. Schil1er says I once said: "Only mistakes are alive, but knowledge is dead." Then it is no wonder that the guys in the knowledge vending machine are so dead heavy.They use the signboard of selling knowledge to flaunt everywhere, but first put the source of knowledge—the spirit of doubt— Write it off one by one. This is the way to kill the hen when he sees that hen has given birth to golden chickens.They not only begged for this To be so arbitrary, and to extinguish some of the holy flames of doubt in the minds of students, is baby-killing. People clamor every day that geniuses are not born, but in fact there are many geniuses who have been poisoned by these fellows. I don't believe that people who have taken courses such as Introduction to Literature and How to Write Novels can still write good novels.a british poet Said that our life time is often spent on two things, the first is to learn a lot of unnecessary things in school The second is to try to discard these things one by one after leaving the school gate.The saddest thing is that many people have just When the garbage is discarded, and when I return to my sea and sky, it is the end of my life. Therefore, what I respect most is the group of guys who often take vacations and don't come to the store very often.their harm There will probably be fewer places!
