Chapter 178 The Indispensable Gap
"Of course, when everyone has sufficient wisdom, there will be no significant fluctuations in the 'cup of water' due to reducing the grinding time."
Another manifestation of abundant wisdom is having an innate "rebellious spirit" and knowing how to say no to things that are not "up to standard".
Unlike now, where everyone only cares about their own business.
Some people, having earned enough rice, become complacent and self-satisfied.
Some people will stop at nothing and have no bottom line in order to earn money, and are even willing to be spineless.
Don't talk about making a living or making up for what you've lost over the generations. If you hadn't had those generations, you would have had a different life plan. To put it bluntly, you brought it on yourself.
Moreover, the abundance of such soft goods has spoiled those who uphold etiquette, disrupted the Great Illusion, and spawned all sorts of frivolous activities.
Don't say I don't understand. In the past, I also struggled to make a living, eating grass and scraps, but I never bowed down for a meager living.
I've done it myself. I like four wheels and need four wheels, so I've taken a "substitute" job. Therefore, I know that many "substitutes" can actually be tolerated.
However, if it's the boss's side, and they make unreasonable demands or squeeze out what I'm entitled to, I'll scold them like a brat and I've never tolerated it.
If you don't believe me, you can ask around and find out where I've worked as a miller and what I've been through.
Some people might scoff and not believe it, but if you don't believe it, just look at the young people these days and see their mindset: I only do what I think is worthwhile, and I'd rather lie down and not do what isn't worthwhile.
This isn't laziness; it's a sign of being aware of the times.
Times have changed. With the movement of the stars, the structure of the honeycomb has changed, and people are born with the corresponding awareness.
However, no one realized that this was a celestial phenomenon, a sign that a pivotal moment in history had arrived.
Ultimately, a planet is a unified civilization. When a person with sufficient wisdom considers something that is not "level" or "level," they will first consider whether it will have a negative impact on the planet's civilization. If it is negative, they will feel disgusted from the bottom of their heart!
If people were given less rice when they went to work back then, they definitely wouldn't work anymore.
If a place can't find anyone because of this, then it won't dare to lower its prices.
If it loses its profits, won't it plot against its God?
Some might say that the final result is still an increase in the price of "fog racks".
Don't worry, the final result won't be that the "fog rack" rises, but as I just said, the final result will be that the layers will be peeled up one by one, pulling down those "ceremonial" people who are holding big pieces of cake by themselves.
Remember, this is the difference in how you think about problems.
The above question reflects the perspective of most people.
From the perspective of a person with abundant wisdom, planetary labor power is actually another form of energy, and "rice" is just a way of storing energy, just like a battery stores electricity.
As long as this energy is drawn down layer by layer, it doesn't matter whether a steamed bun is worth a small goal or more; the energy is conserved and remains constant.
In other words, no matter how much work you do, you will still receive the energy you deserve.
Moreover, the ultimate beneficiaries of the energy reduction are the vast majority of people, not just a few etiquette-conscious individuals.
The energy you gain from the work you do is not only substantial, but also abundant.
After all, this is an era of material abundance, and only a few people hold most of the "Aster".
There will never again be a scene where rice is "demoted" and "white apricot" suffers.
The era in which ritual practitioners sought to absorb energy by manipulating rice is over.
Because back then, everyone knew that if I carried a basket of bricks, I could get a steamed bun in return, which was what I deserved for my hard work.
If you can't get a steamed bun in return, you can have your great-grandmother crawl out of the grave and carry it away.
Otherwise, you can trade me a steamed bun, or something worth a steamed bun. Anyway, I can at least eat a steamed bun if I carry a basket of bricks.
If everyone does this, and everyone has the wisdom to act as a protective barrier, guarding their own etiquette, then those parasites will have nowhere to hide.
This applies to everything from small teams like "Ziben" to large regional teams like "Baquan".
They exploit people's lack of understanding, engaging in various underhanded tactics to gain favor with the public. This is essentially the collective power within a civilized society.
After all, this kind of labor energy is actually maintained by the collective consciousness.
It's worth whatever people think it's worth, just like a gold ingot, something wonderful.
But what if we're at our wits' end, and a natural disaster strikes, leaving us with nothing to eat, and on average, only one steamed bun is given to every hundred people? In that case, tell me, is a steamed bun more expensive than a precious yuan?
Without a doubt, steamed buns are priceless, while gold ingots are worthless.
Therefore, wisdom determines one's perspective when considering a problem.
At that time, the issue of the "fog frame" that everyone mentioned was no longer an issue, but rather a return of energy.
The biggest benefit of energy return is that those so-called self-players will no longer be able to play their so-called self-player game.
In an era where humans and gods are equally revered, try letting him play a trick on you. Anyone who dares to touch anyone's energy will be fought to the death.
With no one manipulating things anymore, the internal 'occupation' of those planets naturally disappears, because any conflict stems from etiquette.
Furthermore, the return of productive energy means the return of wealth.
Your "cup of water," your time, and so on, will all return with this energy.
Back then, the lottery was something everyone could strive for, not something that a few individuals could arbitrarily control.
Therefore, the widening gap between "rich and poor" is the most chilling manifestation of this unbalanced civilization.
Cognitive biases caused by insufficient wisdom have led people to gradually forget what true wealth is.
If everyone remembers, wealth is not just about rice, but also about health and more.
As everyone just mentioned, some special industries require someone to be on duty. I said that when working the night shift, the minimum is five times the normal amount of water.
Will people still covet that five-fold increase? Will they still vie for the night shift?
The answer is that once people awaken, they will no longer covet the prize money. They will realize that it is like trading health for money, where they may earn more but at the cost of their health, and the amount of wealth they gain remains unchanged.
If you don't believe me, just look around you. How many people toil their whole lives, only to feel helpless about their health bar status when they get old?
After a lifetime of toil, I've developed many health problems. I should be enjoying my life, but how can I? I'm constantly struggling, and even the rice I traded for with my health points is being returned many times over, only to have some of the lost health points come back. In the end, I've suffered a huge loss.
Therefore, in a civilized society where everyone is awakened, people no longer choose jobs primarily based on the amount of money they receive.
Instead, they prioritize work quality, considering whether the job suits them before looking at other aspects.
Because people at that time had no worries about food, clothing, shelter and transportation, they judged a person not by how much rice they had, but by their character.
I have repeated the above sentence over and over again, hoping that everyone will think about it carefully.
If you've figured this out, you're qualified to step into the new era of the Investiture of the Gods. If you can't even figure this out, then fine, the people of the new era of the Investiture of the Gods will trample you underfoot.
Because this new era is very special; it is the era of fire, unlike anything before.
It is both a brand new chapter and a comprehensive elimination round.
Its mechanism is very simple: whether human or divine, one must practice virtue throughout the world.
For example, a singer without morals cannot recruit people; once people see that the singer has bad character, they will avoid them.
And the reverse is also true. No one wants a person without virtue. If a singer sees that a person has bad character, he will fire him directly, even if the person doesn't want a "cup of water" but only a meal.
In short, whether it's an individual or a group, those who lack virtue should be eliminated.
The foundation of virtue lies in the wisdom and power of civilization.
The two are inextricably linked.
For example, a celebrity might endorse a product.
In the past, people would say, "Oh, so-and-so has good taste. I like this person, so I must try using them."
They don't care about the quality of the product at all; they're easily scammed.
