△ 288｜Take a seat
I have written a lot of things about Sang and scolding Huai, but it is inevitable that someone will easily take the seat, so I can’t say whether the vacant seat is reserved for that person, and the person who sits in does not dare to shout. I always felt that the seat was reserved for him on purpose.
When I was a student, I wrote a lot of essays that humiliated teachers, and of course, most of them were discovered – because they were too easy to match. Even some of the compositions that did not point out Sang and scold Huai would be thought by them as if I was going to do something again. Even if I did write something about “Don’t Take the Right Seat”, they would still think that I was trying to humiliate the group of people who are too easy to take the right seat – and this has to be said that they are very self-aware. .
I often say half-jokingly, “Dealing with intellectuals is the most troublesome thing in the world.” People still don’t believe what I say. When they really deal with those “intellectuals”, they will find that they seem to have a lot of You may touch the taboo places of the other party, and if you don’t pay attention, you will find that you will irritate the other party because of something that you don’t care about but is really the bottom line of the other party. Of course, this is a relatively extreme situation. Generally, after the “special inner sensitive period”, some intellectuals will not care about the right to sit in the right seat. At least they have an attitude of embracing and accepting the world, not a kind of domestication. and God’s perspective.
Probably my family has a sequela to “intellectuals” after the Cultural Revolution, “being bitten by snakes for ten years and afraid of a rope”, they don’t want the younger generation in the family to be “intellectuals” – so I followed this “ancestral precept”, I did not engage in research work, did not continue to study (really refers to poor grades). I remember my grandfather who passed away once said: reading is not to convince others, but to change myself – maybe I have beautified this sentence in the years, let it sit in the right seat, hide it in my heart and don’t allow others Go to a seated position. He doesn’t think that knowledge research is the only way out. It’s better to find something that he likes, and then study it in depth.
That’s why I added two slightly provocative quotation marks to those “intellectuals” just now.
I used to be a very “romantic idealistic” person, even “romantic” to the point that I formed a strange non-school registered club in college – “Zero Gravity” – isn’t it “Zero Gravity”? What’s so romantic – listen to me as I continue to give you the concept. “Zero Gravity” means that the concept of “quality” will disappear, and the disappearance of the concept of “quality” means that there is no “weight”. This strange society is composed of me from the law department, two painters from the fine arts department, one is an oil painting, the other is a modern sketch, a poet hidden deep in the sports department, and one who was recruited from the literature club. A novelist in the business department who “retired”.
In the “small society” composed of art and literature, “what is more important” without benchmarking standards is most likely to appear. I can understand arguing between literature and literature, because everyone thinks they are the most powerful, and literature and other art forms will fight to the death. Imagination, etc.—in short, such an atmosphere is the daily life of the so-called literary club, which is controlled by the literature department.
This is the so-called “literati disparity”, because people artificially create “severity”, and then set standards that are more biased towards themselves, and they also try to make this an absolutely fair rule of the game. With the weight, there is fairness that can sanction others, but it can be everyone who wields the sword of sanction. Today he is sitting there, judging the right and wrong in the rules of the game, and tomorrow he may be the one to be sanctioned. So we try to establish a “Zero Gravity” rule. In a world without gravity, where there is no weight, there will be no situation of “literati being light”.
“Zero Gravity” didn’t run for long, because it was still not as good as the largest literary club in the school, and they had their own resources that could be used as a distribution channel to show “the results”. And “Zero Gravity” is just a small area of enclosure. Like a petri dish of anaerobic bacteria, the colonies can form various patterns in it, but the problem is that once someone lifts the lid of the petri dish, the outside oxygen will instantly kill us.
So the question is, how to prove that “Zero Gravity” is different? I just put forward a concept, and this concept is extremely abstract, and it is impossible for people to have a precise and unified perception of it. So we still used the “stupidest but most effective” method of taking a seat – to benchmark the literary society at that time, what existence they did not recognize by us, that we used to prove that we were “correct” basis. This set of logic is a “belonging” that cannot escape no matter what kind of romantic concept is proposed, because not everyone will understand and perceive the existence of the concept of nothingness like you. They need to use “the stupidest but It is also the most effective” method to understand the “right and wrong” of a concept . In a zero-gravity world without a target, how to tell them to avoid those “heavy” concepts is a paradox in itself – because we If you want to know the concept of “weight”, you have to go back to the world where gravity was originally.
I actually like the design of “Zero Gravity”, so I still used the concept of “Zero Gravity” in the “game” of “Brave New World” , but this time I changed it. What we built is A world where you control gravity – weightless, overweight, or zero-gravity. It all depends on how a few of us guide the direction of the novel when we work together to complete a novel. As the number of participants increases or decreases, the novel itself will have good or bad plots, and gravity will also deviate with the quality of the novel. Of course, at that time, we were also ridiculed by other bloggers who wrote on the blog bus, thinking that “Brave New World” was just a way for sour literati to gather together to warm themselves. People are willing to take the initiative to sit in, so they continue to “Brave New World”.
But this concept should no longer be “Zero Gravity”, but “Infinity Gravity” . When you take yourself as a reference coordinate, and no longer prove yourself right or wrong by denying others, it can indeed form a self-operating world, But the problem is that the rules of its inner workings still need to follow the concept of “heavy” – the person who recently joined “Brave New World” has no writing skills at all, but we must let him continue to write because of face, big deal Throw his “rubbish” in the sideshow; or a very literary person came in, he changed the direction of the whole story, but he left quickly because he felt that the game was meaningless – in fact He didn’t leave any comments at all, just because his departure made us doubt ourselves, and we failed to keep a character that could be used to prove ourselves.
See, the problem lies here, we ourselves are “taking the right seat” all the time. The fact that “literati are disrespectful to each other” is not at all that when two literati meet, there will always be a bridge of mutual contempt. No matter who the other is, no matter what the status of the other, no matter what kind of “gravity world” they are in, one of the literati will definitely There will be a perception of “quality” – he is better than me, he is not as good as me, what he writes is rubbish, he doesn’t just rely on him to have a market… Thinking that he is “underestimated by literati” has always been a slap in the face. He kept “taking the right seat” to the person in the non-existent chair in the other’s world.
