Harry Potter’s Morning Light

 Chapter 3068 The Veil of Ignorance (9)

In the ancient era of hunting and gathering, gathering required careful attention, observing the color of the fruit, and predicting when it would be ripe.

 Hunting requires moving quickly, guessing the escape direction of the prey, and because the prey will resist, it takes greater risks than gathering.

 At this time, the hunter does not have so much time to think logically, but needs faster reactions and makes decisions in a very short time.

The evolution process of living things follows the principle of least effort. Animals that live in caves and deep seas do not need good vision because there is no light at all. They will use other ways of perception instead of vision. For example, bats will use echolocation.

 The "man in the cave" referred to by Plato can see the shadows on the cave walls and also needs torches for illumination.

The human mind also has the principle of least effort when thinking about problems. This "Jisi" system is very effective. Evolutionists have used it for millions of years to deduce that during this period of time, humans relied on it to survive. Compared with human "civilization" The time is much longer.

 However, with the great changes in productivity and lifestyle, this way of thinking adapted to primitive life will bring some discomfort to modern human life.

 Babies will first put all the things they see into their mouths. This is their first way of understanding the world. They do not know whether these things are dangerous. Parents sometimes need to take away these things that cause harm to them.

 As they grow older, they will learn to perceive with their hands, language, etc. Their cognitive dimensions will change, and their conceptual system will slowly become enriched.

 Adults are exposed to a new environment, and everything is different from the world they originally thought. It is often easier for young people to adjust their cognitive framework and adapt to new things and new environments.

 When people look at a landscape painting, they see a person standing on the top of the mountain, but the person standing on the top of the mountain in the painting sees the scenery at the foot of the mountain.

Both the viewer and the person in the painting are standing in their respective positions, which makes it impossible for both of them to eliminate their self-centeredness.

 In the cruel living environment of ancient times, people did not have much time to think too much. If you want to think quickly, don't think so much. The JS method can save time, but it also risks people being misled. The anchoring effect can sometimes help people find a new starting point.

For example, there are many floats at the carnival. These floats have gone to great lengths to dress themselves up to be eye-catching, so that the audience can vote for them, win first place in the float competition, and receive bonuses.

There are two floats, one of which is praising the Trojan War. The floats are filled with various heroes and monsters defeated by them. The other car is opposite to it, and it also tells the story of the Trojan War, but the car is full of beautiful women, some of whom are tied up, representing the slaves captured by the Greeks, and the most beautiful Helen.

Different first impressions of the same work will form two different anchoring effects. People around them voted for these floats, but some people were not sure who to vote for and wanted to see the floats behind them. Or like "you", you don't like anyone else's float and want to make a float according to your own rules.

The bandwagon effect is the same as the herd effect, which is a herd effect, but the herd follows what others of the same kind do. The "float" needs to be promoted and packaged.

 The "heroes" of the hunting era were all about who could catch the most prey. The heroes in Greek mythology were all about how powerful the monsters were. Without Hydra, Hercules might still be sleeping soundly in a comfortable bed.

 But looking at the captives on the other float, the "heroes" went to Troy with Agamemnon in order to achieve their own merits.

In war, killing is inevitable. Even though there was no concept of "blood crime" in ancient Greece, did all those who saw and heard that scene feel what Aristotle said was "correct"?

 When a person intends to build a float according to his own wishes, it is what Kant calls autonomous action, a rational being obeying its own laws.

His theoretical reasoning is too complicated and takes a long time to understand. It would have taken a long time and cannot be reacted as quickly as the JS method.

  But when a person sets a highest principle for himself, it is equivalent to giving himself an anchor. Children are not deeply involved in the matter and only know a rough idea of ​​some concepts, such as "death". When they hear about the "elixir of life", their hearts are not so flustered, although many people think that immortality is a good thing.

The emperor was paraded without any clothes. Many people saw it, but they were not sure what to do. They looked at the people around them and said nothing. At this time, a child suddenly said that the emperor had no clothes. His parents' first reaction was probably to cover his mouth to prevent others from noticing.

　　A man left the cave mentioned by Plato and came back to tell the people in the cave. The people in the cave did not immediately accept the statement of the person who had been outside the cave, but killed the man or forced him to admit that he was lying.

 Having new things means that they have to adjust their cognitive framework, and older people have to learn from scratch like babies. Even if there is firelight in the cave, they will not have the same vision degradation as creatures living in complete darkness, because vision is "useless".

 The feeling of being used as a tool is certainly unpleasant, but that is better than being "useless".

Remus at least did well.

But his good grades are useless as long as his werewolf identity is exposed.

And top student Tom Riddleby, the big Hagrid is just a fool. What value can a fool create?

In the era before Hagrid's tamed Thestrals pulled carriages, everyone except the freshmen got off the train at Hogsmeade Station and walked to school. Sometimes if you are unlucky and it rains heavily, the road will become particularly muddy and you will fall down just like the school song says.

 In archery, of course, we hope to hit the target, perhaps to hit the prey, or to hit the bullseye and win the competition.

Who cares how a man who misses his target controls his bow?

People will cheer for the winner, but when the birds are gone, the good bow will be of no use. No matter how good the archer is, he can only put it away and wait for who knows when it will be used again. If he can still draw it at that time If you can touch it, how many people can withstand the changes in things and people.

Severus gave Pomona many reasons why the Ministry of Magic was justified in convicting Percival Dumbledore.

But Pomona remembered that if the law or the judges were unbalanced, it would be unjust to order the defender to do his job. Lily felt that James could offset this by saving Severus' life, and that Severus should even be grateful to him in turn. Pomona found this unacceptable. Severus had spent so much time in theory and sitting on the bench before, he needed to get moving, and then she introduced him to the centaurs.

 That's why Pomona felt that Grindelwald was unstoppable, even though she was a pacifist, and there was no need to create disputes just to compete for the first place.

“Crime” refers to the violation of the law. If all wars that are deemed to be unfair will be considered unjust, then Grindelwald is guilty.

 But the Germans believed that war after resistance to oppression was just, while the non-Romans believed that where Roman law took effect was peace and justice.

Love can make people have a tendency, and so can the love of beauty. In ancient times, someone made a statue of Venus in the image of the priestess of Poseidon. She was found guilty, and her defenders asked her to undress and see her Beautiful, people forgive her.

At that time, there was no issue of infringement of portrait rights. Did she authorize the sculptor to carve Venus?

 Sirius is also beautiful, but this does not give him any advantage.

 Simonetta was also beautiful. Giuliano de' Medici also said that she was "unparalleled" and the painter also painted her image as a newborn Venus.

 After her death, the original alliance bond should have been severed, just like Pompey and Caesar.

 Finally, a **** assassination was staged in the church, and Giuliano fell in a pool of blood.

 If good and evil are related to luck and misfortune, then evil people should feel misfortune.

　　Although Agamemnon won the victory, he was murdered by his wife and her lover after he "returned home".

The "Goddess of Disaster" also made Odysseus' journey home extremely difficult, and he could have been with her on Calypso's island...

 “Stop!”

Severus suddenly shouted, startling Pomona.

Several students saw them coming, but instead of obeying the order to stop, they ran faster than rabbits and disappeared at the end of the corridor in the blink of an eye.

 “Those little trolls!” Severus cursed.

 Pomona giggled.

 “Why are you laughing?” he asked angrily.

 Because she remembered the meeting between Odysseus and Cyclops.

The Cyclops went to a human city to "connect friendship" without a meeting, no laws, and no vermilion boats, but the trolls could also make the island rich, and they might live among the towering mountains. On the top of the mountain, or living in a deep cave, he personally controls his wife and children and does not care about other people's affairs.

"Stay out of other people's business." Pomona pushed him as if she was herding sheep. "Keep going!"

The Potions Professor who was "unfazed" was actually pushed to the ground and staggered two steps, perhaps because he stepped on the hem of his robe.

“I wonder why you wear so many clothes in the summer?” Pomona said, staring at the hem of his robe.

But he ignored her and took long steps with his cloak spread out like bat wings. It seemed that he was planning to catch those students who were skipping class.

Pomona shook her head and trotted after her. At this moment, she really wished she had a pair of Hermes' sandals. If they were really so magical, they wouldn't mind her short and fat figure and could fly up to catch up. That fast-moving bat.
