1840Indian rebirth

"In a complex society with division of labor, there will inevitably be institutions that are difficult to supervise." Mashao said, "For the current Apache, I am this institution."

Although many similar concepts about forehead wrinkles have been subtly instilled by Ma Shao, it is still hard to accept this conclusion.

"Is this really... inevitable?" he couldn't help but ask.

"It's inevitable, or the cost of avoiding it is unbearable," Ma Shao said.

"How to avoid it?" Qianwen asked again.

Ma Shao: "Just let society degenerate. If everyone is engaged in the simplest, self-sufficient work, and never interacts with each other... there will be no social division of labor and cooperation, and no public interests, so naturally there will be no need for supervision."

After a pause: "So, for an 'ultimate supervisor' who can supervise everyone else but is difficult to be supervised by others, ensuring that society does not degenerate is the most basic bottom line."

"Furthermore, if an organization can successfully represent the development requirements of advanced productive forces, then it is the natural and inevitable ultimate supervisor, and no one can shake its status."

The forehead pattern is thoughtful: "Represents the development requirements of advanced productive forces..."

Ma Shao added: "This is an important idea."

Development is legitimacy.

It sounds like this is more like an engineer's thinking.

But this is how politics should be. In comparison, it is absurd to use the thinking of a mathematician to understand politics.

Ma Shao probably still remembers that high school mathematics textbooks used the Declaration of Independence as an example of axiomatic thinking.

Of course, this thing is not tested in the exam, so most students don’t know, and neither do most teachers.

The horse whistle knows.

But he didn't approve.

He does not agree with the approach of the Declaration of Independence, or the political philosophy of Europeans and Americans.

This idea, simply put, is that politics can be as perfect as mathematics, or even divorced from reality.

But mathematics itself is not perfect, it also has flaws, and this flaw is fundamental, a flaw in human beings and even the universe.

At the same time, mathematics can be divorced from reality and allow axioms to extend freely in the world of logic, but this must not be the case in politics.

Therefore, this political concept that is very popular among Westerners is destined to be a delusion that will bring disaster to politics.

Later generations of the United States have gradually confirmed this.

Those sanctimonious political axioms in the Declaration of Independence can only infer the prosperity of litigators and white leftists, but cannot derive any substantive justice.

The discussion between the two seemed a little strange.

The forehead lines' question was like a sharp question from the ruled to the ruler, but in fact neither of them felt any nervousness.

Because Ma Shao is always a teacher at heart, and an excellent teacher at that. He values ​​the teacher-student relationship more than anything else.

The content of the discussion gradually deviated from the original intention and turned into mathematics.

Qianwen asked again: "Any axiom system has things that cannot be proved...Is this true?"

"Isn't the axiom itself?" Ma Shao said casually without saying much.

To understand this problem clearly, a lot of prerequisite knowledge is required, and much of it is advanced, such as Russell's paradox and Gödel's incompleteness theorem, which are all things of the next century.

Not to mention Gödel's incompleteness theorem or the mathematical building in Hilbert's delusion, even Kelvin's famous joke about "the building of physics" has not yet been born.

In this era, the greatest achievement of exploring the shortcomings of human rationality may be Kant's antinomies.

Even as great as Kant, it was only a first glimpse of the door, revealing the ideas for future generations, but did not produce anything conclusive.

Chuanwen is one of the people in the tribe who has the most outstanding mathematical talent, and he is also a top student in the mathematics and science advanced class.

But its actual level is about the same as that of later high school students, and in terms of problem solving, its vision may not be as good as that of junior high school students. It is still far behind to understand Gödel's theory.

All in all...the water here is too deep, and Ma Shao is afraid that he won't be able to grasp the forehead lines.

"If you are interested, you can first learn about Lobachevsky's geometry. It is discussed in the books I brought." Mashao said.

In addition to basic living and production supplies, the Apache team also brought some books to California so that the Apaches here could continue to study.

"Finally, forehead wrinkles, after I leave, you will probably be the person with the highest level of mathematics and science in California. Remember to be a qualified teacher." He warned again.

The forehead lines solemnly responded: "I understand, teacher."

After talking to Chunfeng, the horse whistle packed up, rested for one night, and officially set off on the next day.

There were only about a hundred people in the return team, and only a small half were members of the original westward expedition. Most were new members, namely California Indians who had just joined the Apache, and there were also a few white prisoners, including one

artillery.

The reason for this arrangement was mainly because the number of people in the westward marching team was too small.

With less than 300 people, they have to manage the three places of Xiquan Fortress, Donggu City and Donggu Lumber Camp. Implementing the assimilation policy, it is inevitable that they will be somewhat stretched. They must not be able to bring more horse posts.

Not only can't he bring more back, he will also send more manpower to California in the future.

Most of the members are newcomers, so it is naturally difficult to lead the team.

For example, something happened on the road. Several Indians insisted on going to a legendary holy place two hundred kilometers away to worship. In the end, there was a stalemate, and the horse guard had to let them leave the group on their own and leave them alone.

He was in a hurry to return home this time, but he had no time to worry about it.

It was already October when Ma Shao left California. If it had been any later, he would have had to cross the entire West in winter. This was definitely a bad plan.

At the same time, the U.S.-Mexican War was coming to an end, and he had to take the next step.

He led a group of people on horseback and returned to Kansas as quickly as possible.

Except for the departure of those few people, there were no twists and turns on the road.

For other groups, this is basically impossible to do.

Because the route taken by Ma Shao is the one with the mildest natural environment. The natural environment is mild, but the social environment is relatively harsh.

Thanks to the mild natural environment, there are many Indian clans living along the way, with all kinds of people.

When white people or Indians from other places come here, they are likely to be treated as intruders, and those with few people will be directly killed.

However, as Mashao is becoming increasingly famous in the Indian world as the Son of the Sky, most Indian clans will give him face, at least passing by without any problem.

Therefore, he could travel quickly and successfully returned to Sleeping Bear City in Kansas in mid-December, earlier than planned.
