Chapter 162 Civilization Efficiency

"Holy King, how could you use such foul language?"

The female teacher was very surprised, and after the surprise came tears of grievance.

What did she do to deserve this?

I'm so sorry, I lost my composure!

Green Pepper patted his mouth to show his apology, and then said, "Teacher, I am not here to deny the efforts of any student, nor to acknowledge the hard work of the teachers."

I'm here to tell you all that while education is widely accessible these days, its efficiency is shockingly low.

"Civilized efficiency?"

Everyone goes to school. Regardless of whether they become successful in the future, they can all write and do math. Isn't that already quite efficient?

The female teacher didn't quite understand.

"Civilization cannot be limited to reading and going to school; it should be reflected in all aspects."

Come on, you come with me, let's go to the next stop.

After saying that, Green Pepper pushed open the door and went out...

The second stop was a base for manufacturing mechs.

Those who sit in the office doing research and development are the top talents of Yaowangxing.

Frontline employees are ordinary people who simply need to follow the computer prompts step by step to do their jobs.

It can be described as a condensed version of the "watershed" in life after starting school.

Green Pepper led everyone to the production line and asked the female teacher to randomly select an employee for him to interview.

"That one, I'll go with."

The female teacher was always wary of the young man falling for her trap, so she deliberately chose a chubby employee.

Thinking to myself, I must be very happy in life, otherwise I wouldn't be so carefree and plump.

Okay, he's the one.

Green Pepper nodded, then walked over and asked, "Young man, I saw the work schedule at the door. You only work six hours a day, right? Will you work overtime?"

"No, the entire factory is computer-controlled and automatically shuts down at the designated time."

The employee answered cheerfully.

Xia, who came along, along with the female teacher and others, also showed confident smiles.

Not just here, the whole of Yaowangxing is like this.

Computers have used precise calculations to distribute the labor force across the entire planet on an even scale.

Therefore, regardless of whether one has a high level of education or is an ordinary person, everyone has ample personal time.

Education simply divides talent into different categories; how could there be a problem?

What do you do after work every day?

Green Pepper asked.

"After going home and having dinner, I watch entertainment programs, and occasionally go out to see a movie."

The employee patted his large belly, indicating that this kind of lifestyle had made him quite fat.

"Hmm...life is pretty good."

Green Pepper patted his belly, then changed the subject, saying, "If we compare it to when we were kids, we're still happier now than when we were kids."

The employee thought for a moment and answered truthfully, "It must be when I was a child. Back then, I was carefree and had no worries."

Green Pepper: "You seem to be living a carefree life now, so what's there to worry about?"

Employee: "That's different. When I was a kid, I had a group of friends, and we dreamed about the future together, full of expectations. But now..."

Green Pepper: "I feel very lonely now. I don't even have a close friend. There are some things I don't want to say to my family. I always feel inexplicably sad, right?"

"That's right," the employee nodded.

Green Pepper: "Then why don't you follow the joys of your childhood and plan some goals to look forward to?"

When you have something to look forward to, life becomes more colorful and joyful.

The employee looked bewildered. "Well, I'm way past the age of daydreaming."

Even if I were to do something I like right now, I wouldn't know what I truly like.

"See? Yet another person whose childhood dreams have been crushed."

Green Pepper turned to look at everyone, then at the camera, and then led the way to the monitoring room.

In the monitoring room, the young teacher switched the main screen to the office of a top talent for everyone to see.

What's so interesting about this? People are focused on their work.

Everyone was puzzled.

Green Pepper unfolded the Unbound Heavenly Book, glanced at it, and said, "Wait another ten minutes."

Because Tian Shu had served as the computer commander and had access to all the data on Yaowang Star, he knew the habits of the person in the surveillance footage and what he would do in a moment.

Before long, the person in the surveillance footage started to peek around furtively and behaved very strangely.

Then, crouching down and blocking the view of the camera from view, he was operating something on his phone.

But this didn't stump Green Pepper. With a little trick, Green Pepper created an invisible lens on the side of the person, so that he could monitor their mobile phone screen.

Upon closer inspection, everyone realized that the person was chatting.

As for the details, it's roughly this: besides his family of origin, he also has a hidden family with another woman, and the children are quite old.

That's roughly the idea. It's to show you the different paths in life for those who did well in school and those who didn't.

Green Pepper turned off the monitor and gestured to everyone, as if to say something.

"I believe that the person in the surveillance footage is just an isolated case and cannot represent everyone."

Overall, knowledge and literacy are positively proportional.

"That's what the female teacher said."

Qingjiao held her phone, waiting for the screen to fill with comments, seeing that most of them supported the female teacher's views.

Only then did he say, "I showed you the frontline staff and office personnel not to discuss the ratio, but to discuss their wisdom."

"wisdom?"

The female teacher looked slightly surprised.

Green Pepper nodded and said, "There's a misconception about current teaching methods."

That is, people tend to habitually regard the knowledge they have learned as a person's wisdom.

Actually, wisdom is a compound word; "智" (zhi) and "慧" (hui) are separate.

Intelligence, or wisdom, needs no further explanation. Humans are born with intelligence, and can grow through teaching and example.

Wisdom, or the root of wisdom, can only sprout, take root, and grow primarily through personal thought. This is what is meant by the depth of one's wisdom.

And the scope of "wisdom" is incredibly broad.

A person's cognition, thoughts, character, and so on are all manifestations of "wisdom".

Like the employee I just interviewed, he expressed his confusion about his current life;

And those people in the surveillance footage—his conscience has been eaten by dogs.

These are signs of insufficient wisdom.

Moreover, I can say without any reservations that people lacking in wisdom, whether on Blue Fat Star or Distant Star, make up the vast majority.

Why did this happen? The answer is that there's a serious problem with the teaching methods!

Current teaching methods primarily focus on instilling and enhancing children's "intelligence".

Wisdom, on the other hand, is basically something that grows naturally; no one encourages it, and no one pays attention to it.

As a result, everyone is now completely trapped in a vortex of ideological death.

Because of the lack of "wisdom" that allows one's thinking to flourish, a hundred people only look up to one person who excels at learning, forgetting their own innate talents.

For example, if someone makes money selling peanuts, you might also sell peanuts, but after selling them for so long, you end up losing all the peanuts you grow.

Why is that? Maybe you work even harder than others.

Because you've never considered whether you're actually suited to selling peanuts, or, more deeply, whether you're a good fit for the peanut industry chain.

The same principle applies to teaching. Parents, teachers, and children all focus on the students who excel academically, forgetting to consider the strengths of students who don't do well academically.

That's why I always say, "The world shouldn't be like this; it shouldn't develop in a way that a few people excel at."

"According to you, schools are only suitable for enrolling children who are good at learning."

Children who are not suited for learning should not go to school.

How many illiterate people will there be in the future?

Or, imagine the enormous cost it would be if schools offered countless extracurricular classes to categorize children.

The female teacher objected.
