Dig out the truth of cognition with facts, and gain insight into the essence of facts with cognition. Hello everyone, this is "Super Brain Theory".
Through the interpretation of society, we all know that the so-called society, it is the product of the will of the power holder, it reflects the value proposition, interest proposition and resource distribution proposition of the power holder, its image and content change with the change of the power holder's claim, but also with the diversity of the power holder's will become complex and changeable, it exists because of the existence of power, and will also die with the demise of power.
So, what is power? Is it really what we think? Starting today, we have officially entered the interpretation of power. In this issue, we first interpret and explain "what power is".
If we carefully study the history of mankind, or if we carefully study all the power-related things that happen in today's society, we will find a fact that we have to admit: all the injustices in the world are caused by power; All the rules and order in the world are established by power; All the ups and downs, honors and disgraces in the world are also the products of power; All the happiness and sorrow in the world are also the result of power. The history of mankind is a history of power, and nothing else.
Here, I will first throw out the cognitive definition of power: the so-called power is an absolute power that can control, suppress and destroy all non-power opposition will. The fundamental reason for the existence of power is people's pursuit of profit maximization and resource distribution rights.
This cognitive definition of power also shows that if someone has the absolute power to control, suppress and destroy all non-power opposition will, then in the face of these non-power holders, this person can fully realize the maximization of self-interest and the absolute distribution of benefits and resources at hand. And once a person wants to pursue the maximization of interests, and the absolute right to distribute interests and resources, then if he wants to achieve this pursuit, he must master those absolute forces that can control, suppress and destroy all non-power opposition will.
Let's first interpret and explain the first point in the cognitive definition of power, "power is an absolute force that can control, suppress and destroy all non-power opposition will".
We have understood the fact that the resources in the real world are limited, and there are many people with the same demands, if you want to obtain the resources you want, or obtain more resources, it means that you not only have to fight for the resources you are asking for through competition, but also face the dissatisfaction, resentment, hostility and even force of those losers that may be attracted after you successfully obtain resources.
From this, we understand a reality. On the one hand, we all need to work hard and means to achieve the pursuit of interests, and on the other hand, we must guard against, confront and resolve all conflicts and contradictions that may erupt because of the same interests and goals. In practice, only power can fulfill both requirements. For power represents an absolute power capable of controlling, suppressing, and destroying all opposing wills.
For example, everyone's individual force value, intelligence and cognitive level are not the same, and people with absolute force value, compared to other weak people, are naturally the power holders, because in the face of the weak, the person with superior force value can completely snatch anything he wants to grab through his super force value, and can also solve all the weak people who resist him. On the other hand, if there is a wise person among the weak who can organize these weak people and have wisdom and means that exceed the understanding and cognition of those who are superior in force, then he is the power holder of this group of weak people, and he can defeat or even destroy the strong person with superior force value through his own control and domination of the weak group, as well as his own wisdom and strategy, so as to obtain the interests and goals he wants. Correspondingly, if you already have superior force value, high intelligence and courage, and a group of teams to drive, then the difficulty factor of any weak person who wants to compete with them will increase exponentially.
Therefore, the amount of benefits we can obtain, the difficulty of obtaining them, and the magnitude of the threats and risks we face depend entirely on the amount of power we and our opponents have. The greater our relative power, the greater the benefits we can obtain, and conversely, the smaller our relative power, the more limited the benefits we can strive for, or even be kicked out.
For example, in the company, the boss as the absolute power holder, he can obtain the greatest benefits through the company, anyone who wants to change the pattern of interests, unless he has the power to compete with the boss, otherwise, will be removed from the company, which is equivalent to ending the person's "life" in the company. If the company's survival and development depends on the sales crown, the sales crown has the power to confront the boss, and the boss can transfer the relevant benefits to the sales crown. Even the sales champion may go out independently with the team and swallow up the related business that originally belonged to this company, so that the boss has no profit to gain.
This is power, which can achieve absolute control, suppression and even destruction of these people in the face of non-power holders, so as to effectively obtain or protect the interests and resources it wants. In the face of the power holder, the two sides of the power will determine the pattern of each other's interest distribution and even the degree of conflict according to the size of their respective power and the measurement of the consequences. This also confirms what we have heard: only power can check and balance power, only power can bring equal dialogue, and only power can make people get along with each other.
We will interpret and explain the second point in the cognitive definition of power, "the fundamental reason for the existence of power is people's pursuit of profit maximization and resource distribution rights".
There is a very realistic, but normal thing that we forget, and that is that each of us is born utilitarian. Whether it is crying for a mouthful of milk in infancy, or deliberately acting in childhood when greedy for parental care and praise from outsiders, or after a certain amount of ideological education or ideological maturity, making different choices for fame and fortune, or just adhering to a certain belief or cognition and insisting on going its own way, no matter how different the forms, each of us is actually living our own life for our own "utilitarianism".
Utilitarianism is not a derogatory term, because utilitarianism is the fundamental law of everyone's survival and development, and the so-called "survival of the fittest" is this truth. Only utilitarianism can make everyone clearly understand themselves and what the world is like in themselves, and then decide how they should make choices and behaviors according to their own cognition of all this. Utilitarianism may make people lose their innocence and illusions, but utilitarianism rarely makes people make wrong choices, and only utilitarians can live a normal life in this world, and even the life that many people dream of, and only utilitarians can not fall into the trap of philosophy, and can face all the encounters in life rationally and bravely.
Those who have utilitarianism will inevitably be driven by utilitarianism to choose the most beneficial way for themselves and obtain the best interests within the scope of cognition.
In terms of individual strength, intelligence and cognitive level, if a person's cognition only knows the food of steamed bread, then his utilitarianism in this aspect of food will only guide him to obtain steamed bread, if noodles appear in his cognition, then he will naturally prefer to choose noodles, if there are delicacies of mountains and seas in his cognition, then his choice will be biased towards delicacies of mountains and seas. Because utilitarianism will only lead people to choose the best interests in their perception. Only when the best interests cannot be realized, will the next best thing be reciprocated.
When a person with superior force value is not able to fight with others, to harm others, and not to enjoy better and more resources, then his utilitarianism will only guide him around the principles he adheres to. At this time, even if he becomes a potential power holder because of his superior force value, it is also because of his utilitarian choices that he cannot use power, and he cannot obtain better benefits in the eyes of others. It can also be seen that although everyone is a utilitarian, each person's utilitarian direction may be different. Some people value material, and some people value spirit. Some people pursue prosperity and enjoyment, and some people pursue plainness and simplicity.
Regardless of the type of utilitarianism, it is all about obtaining profit goals. Although we can obtain the goal of benefit in a variety of ways, compared with power, there is no way and means that can allow people to obtain maximum benefits without worry. Because any opponent who obstructs, hinders, or even participates in the competition of interests, as long as he has no power, the power holder can kick out all competitors through the power he controls, and get all the benefits in his hands, without worrying about the attitude and ideas of the competitors. Even in the face of competitors with power, as long as the difference in power between the two sides is not too excessive, both sides have the opportunity to participate in the competition, the difference is that the two sides will allocate the interests and objectives accordingly according to the size of their respective powers. Therefore, for those who pursue power, his utilitarian idea is to maximize the possession of interests. The manifestation of the possession that embodies the maximization of interests is the absolute power to allocate benefits and resources. Because only when you decide how to distribute the benefits and resources, can you get the desired amount of benefits and resources according to your own will and expectations, and you can control the distribution of interests and resources by others.
