After standing up and clearing his throat, Lin invited the senior magicians to sit down. Because his seat was at the bottom, unlike St. Milediades who was at the higher main table, if everyone was standing, he would be covered. Besides, it is easier to plot against oneself when others are standing, so we first ask everyone to return to their seats.
After order was restored, Lin first saluted and greeted the two Dharma Saints at the main table, and then saluted in all directions. "Lord Milediades, Lord Babak Abnahan, and all the seniors. I am Guybrash Tripwood, officially a magician. Known as the founder of mathematics, I am really I dare not take it. Because I am also standing on the shoulders of many predecessors to achieve what I am today. It can be said that without the efforts of everyone here, there would be no magician world today."
No matter whether you want to cooperate or fall out in the future, you should praise it first and then talk about it. Anyway, these people are indeed above me in terms of age. A few words of humility won't cause any big problems, but will actually make the other person relax their guard. Anyway, there is good and bad. Seeing the same satisfied expressions on everyone's face, but smiling even more heartily, Lin knew that the fire lord had arrived and it was time to start stewing.
"I know there have been many voices recently, hoping that I will disclose all my knowledge related to mathematics. To such a request, I hereby carefully and publicly reply to the refusal. No matter who will come to me to make the request, I will do the same. Response. For me, the current teaching method is the best. It is like this now and it will be like this in the future. There will be no change until I die."
Everyone was in an uproar!
Someone's decisive speech made not only those people with evil intentions angry, but even those who originally supported him were so shocked that they didn't know how to smooth things over. As the leader, Saint Mildiades of France could not laugh. Although he did not curse in anger, he still had a displeased look on his face.
"Sir Tripwood, why do you refuse so much?" The one who asked with a trembling voice was the great magician Kabamba.
He admired this young man who was full of novel ideas, and was willing to be his assistant and help him on the road of learning; he also knew that there were many magicians who had this idea. But what he said just now offended all the magicians who didn't appreciate him in one go; maybe even the people who originally supported him would change their ideas and stance. So Kabamba had to ask.
Of course Lin knew that this kind of strategy of solving the problem of the Romance of the Three Kingdoms was definitely a shock bomb. If you encounter someone with a bad temper and don't intend to listen to what they say next, it's not impossible to kick them out. But there are a lot of people here, so as long as you give yourself a chance to continue talking, you can give these old men a chance to enjoy a sauna. So he continued:
"President Kabambai, regarding the mathematical knowledge I have, my thoughts are everything I just said. Not a word added, not a word subtracted, that's what I think. But! I don't have a monopoly on 'mathematics' The purpose of this name. It's like a magician has studied a magic called 'Flame'. Isn't it true that other people are not allowed to study fireballs, fire walls, meteor showers, and doomsday flames? This is obviously unreasonable. So 'mathematics' should be an open concept and not monopolized by any one person."
If these words were spoken from the beginning, everyone present would definitely be laughing from ear to ear. But there was that frightening first sentence. Everyone's angry thoughts turned into confusion, and they couldn't figure out what the magician was thinking. A great magician in charge of other colleges asked: "Your Majesty, you are not opposed to the mathematics knowledge taught to you by other colleges."
Sure enough, there is such a person, Lin sneered secretly. In the final analysis, today's banquet is because some people are optimistic about the prospects of mathematics, while others are optimistic about the financial prospects of mathematics. No matter what kind of people, they all want to get their own benefits from it. This is not entirely the physical benefit of money and property. There is also the benefit of knowledge.
But this time, someone no longer wants to cooperate with these greedy ideas. Regardless of the issue of profit or loss on one's own account, the full spread of the forum actually means that someone wants to turn this thing into a necessity for people's livelihood. The more people who use it, the more users' forum behavior information you have.
If you have been through the earth's big data era, you can understand what it means to master these data, which is almost equivalent to an information nuclear bomb.
Therefore, by opening up the forum, on the surface, one loses the huge benefits from the forum magic stone. In fact, before others realize the loopholes of the forum, they are equivalent to making their behavior public under someone's eyes. The power of this black information really cannot be measured by money.
However, if mathematics were open to the public for free, there would be no such hidden benefits. I am just working as a free worker, transporting hundreds of thousands of years of accumulated knowledge on the earth for free, becoming the bricks and stones that pave the way forward for civilization on the lost earth. Is this...what a joke?
If they were willing to trade for a magic tower, that wouldn't be without discussion. Now it was obvious that they just wanted to have sex for nothing. So when faced with such questions, Lin said with the same decisive tone: "I have no objection to any college, any magician, or any scholar who is willing to teach mathematics. But as long as it is not the words I personally said, or The words written by my own hand, I do not admit that the mathematical knowledge is related to me at all. Because I do not want to take the responsibility of others misleading others."
Everyone was in an uproar again! 918
If the most serious crime in the Holy City of Estari is 'enemies of knowledge', then the second most serious crime must be 'misleading people'. Before studying knowledge and accumulating the foundation of civilization and progress, any obstruction is an unforgivable enemy; similarly, teaching wrong knowledge to others and letting the wrong things cover up the correct ones is also a major crime that hinders the progress of civilization. .
So someone's criticism is not unreasonable. The dean who asked the question was even more angry. He slapped the table and shouted, "Does this mean that I am not qualified to teach mathematics?"
"No, no, no, I don't mean that you are not qualified to teach mathematics. I mean that none of you here are qualified to teach mathematics."
Everyone... This time it was not an uproar, but an explosion!
Even a group of people who attended math class and were originally supporters of someone expressed their dissatisfaction. The great magician Kabanbai also felt uncontrollable and gave Lin a look, which meant that he should ask for his own blessings. But someone at the center of the storm of abuse showed an indifferent attitude, neither refuting nor explaining.
There is no way, even if you want to have a verbal battle with others, you have to outshine the opponent with your voice. Now everyone is on top, wishing to drown someone with spittle and stars. If you want to compete with others on whose neck is thicker at this time, it is better to wait first. When the opponent's mouth is dry, it's time to fight back. Of course, it's also possible that when someone can't help but take action, it's time to run away...
Finally, before the incident that Lin least expected happened, everyone's anger was temporarily suppressed. The one who stopped everyone was Dharma Saint Babak Abu Nahan.
As a practical person, he actually somewhat looked down on those magicians who acted domineeringly based on their so-called academic status. So rather than saying that he was helping someone because he admired the young man in the previous conversation, it was better to say that he wanted to continue watching the show and see how this young man would mock these self-righteous old men.
After everyone calmed down, Lin continued: "Before discussing the qualifications to teach mathematics, I would like to ask you first, what do you think is the difference between mathematics and magic?"
Without waiting for anyone to answer, Lin said directly: "Although magic is also a rigorous knowledge, it is not simple at all. Any magic will have different effects due to different spell models, different users, and different environments. . Even the sixty-nine apprentice-level magics listed in the first to third rings are only recognized as the simplest to use, and there are no mistakes when performing magic according to the steps. Can anyone cite which magic is the most correct? In this case In this case, the magician's experience in using magic, his understanding of magic, and his grasp of many variables in the environment will all affect the final result. Therefore, an experienced magician is different from a new magic apprentice. Language.──”
Lin then used whiteboard writing skills to write an eternal mathematical classic formula above himself: 1+1=2
"──But mathematics is different. As long as the conditions are established, there will be one of three types of answers: unique solution, infinite solutions and no solution. It doesn't matter whether the person answering is a magician or a magic apprentice , is a Dharma Saint, is a child who does not understand magic, it will have a 'correct' answer. Just like the 1+1=2 I wrote down, this is the basis of mathematics and the truth of mathematics. If in mathematics If it is not established in the field, then everything you learn next will be wrong.”
"So, what does this have to do with us!" The person who replied was the one who originally fought against Lin.
Lin smiled and said: "How come it doesn't matter? Of course it does, and it matters a lot. The biggest reason why you are not qualified to teach mathematics is because of your identity, status and authority."
"This kind of thing has nothing to do with whether you are qualified to teach mathematics!" The great magician with two golden threads cursed angrily. But many magicians calmed down and thought about the relationship between the two. Like, really, not completely unrelated? It's just that where the key is, everyone can't figure it out for a while.
At this time, Lin continued: "Everyone has been a magic apprentice at one time or another, and I don't know how many people still remember it. It doesn't matter if you forget. After becoming an official magician, you must at least accept and teach apprentices. When you are still an apprentice, or your apprentices ask the teacher, "Why is this magic cast like this?", the answer you get or say is to carefully answer the part that the apprentice is confused about, or tell the other person, "No." There are so many doubts. Remember, follow the instructions, and you will naturally understand when your knowledge becomes more sophisticated in the future.'"
Everyone has this experience, and no one will be unfamiliar with it. Sometimes the explanation is not clear because there is too much explanation and the apprentice cannot understand it. So instead of wasting time talking nonsense, it is better to directly order the other person to memorize it, and then he will understand it naturally... Is that so?
