Chapter 871: Still in Fantasy
Grindelwald said in a public speech in Paris:
Magic only blooms in a few people.
However, there are quite a few Muggles, like the kings in fairy tales, longing for superhuman strength, even selling their souls to the devil.
But others chose to commit genocide against wizards. Second Salem is a No-Maj fanatic organization in the United States dedicated to exposing and eradicating wizards. They have been reminding the world that wizards live among people. In the early 20th century, no one paid attention to her. After the religious reformation in the Middle Ages, they were banned. People generally accept and believe.
The "accusation of witchcraft" was originally aimed at the weather. Decades of extreme weather have pushed Europe to the brink of doom. Images of witches using weather magic can be seen in many pamphlets left over from the Middle Ages.
The Little Ice Age made the winter longer and the time suitable for plant growth shortened. People in the Alps had to switch from planting to grazing.
After another Black Death in 1630, it was believed that the plague spread because of witches' poisoning.
Rumors stop at the wise, but people who are in panic and group effects are prone to anti-intellectual behavior.
Crowds are prone to sentimentality, incapable of reasoning, seldom moved by evidence, swayed by strong emotions, and no one who can move the soul of a crowd is without fanatical belief.
During the First Crusade, there was a "Peter the Hermit", he was short and dark, he ate neither bread nor meat, only fish, he wore ragged clothes, and walked barefoot, but he was such a person, in a few words Words can inspire others.
During the September massacres, the Jacobins could have lined up "not revolutionary enough" people, bombarded them with cannons, melted gold and poured it into the mouths of corrupt officials, and none of them Confiscate the property of the victim.
Groups have a stronger moral cleansing effect than individuals, although the combined effect of these individual moral cleanses can be disastrous.
Even the role of social images in the purification of group morality under stable conditions still exists.
No one is disheveled in court, even the defendant of a violent crime has to wear a shirt and trousers, and no one goes to church in a bikini. If someone does that, they will be taught a lesson.
In order to protect themselves and escape bad luck, little wizards in the Middle Ages would suppress their magical power and hide their special features, but due to lack of guidance, they did not learn to control and control their own power. The consequences of this excessive suppression It is to become a silent person and be parasitized by silence.
Even Voldemort had a time when he was young, and young wizards were no match for the Muggle majority.
Black magic wants to hurt oneself and produce extremely painful emotions emotionally, thereby stimulating the potential and generating power stronger than ordinary wizards. This kind of power is easy to lose control and produce extreme emotions such as destruction and killing. The possession of the Elder Wand Many of them are such people.
Crowds can turn a good guy into a villain and a villain into a good guy.
Rational individuals have the instinct to seek advantages and avoid disadvantages, but the will of individuals trapped in a group is extremely compressed. Sometimes groups will do all kinds of evil, and sometimes they will sacrifice their lives regardless of fame and fortune, for the sake of honor, glory, and patriotism.
In individuals and groups, the intelligence of individuals is higher than that of groups, such as Isaac Newton, but even Newton cannot prevent people from being carried away by the South Sea foam.
A rational individual thinks that he can guide those "fools" who have fallen into unconscious fanaticism. If his personal views are very different from or even contrary to the values of the group, even if it sounds reasonable, the group will still be driven by emotion. Guillotine kings and philosophers like Socrates.
Such cruelty is no different from the cruelty of human groups hunting animals.
No one would describe the French Revolution as unjust. In the July Revolution of 1848, the people and the military and police who came to suppress them became comrades-in-arms and captured the palace of Charles X, but they did not take away any artwork. , even if everything is priceless, enough for their life needs.
In 1900, when the British and French allied forces invaded the Old Summer Palace, they removed everything that could be moved, and burned what could not be moved. Victor Hugo wrote an article criticizing this banditry. What consequences did it cause?
He was one of the few people who was as sane as Charles Dickens, who looked at those watching the hanging and said bluntly that the hanging would not be a deterrent, but an entertainment.
Lu Xun also once described the scene of the crowd watching the beheading. Those "spectators" stretched their necks as much as possible, and after watching the scene of killing revolutionaries, they said, "beheading is so beautiful."
In fact, this is the same as the burning and hanging in Europe. People's empathy ability has degraded, and there is no sadness for the killing, but they feel that they are watching the excitement.
Martina's human nature experiment was divided into two groups, a group of people stopped Martina from pointing the gun at herself, and a group of people shouted "this is a show".
The vast majority of people hope that they are the first group of people to "awaken", but the results are often not satisfactory.
Science can play the role of destroying superstition, but it cannot assume the responsibility of bringing hope and fantasy to gods, heroes, and poets.
God made a generous promise to do good while alive, go to heaven after death, and enjoy eternal happiness, but the Black Death shattered this illusion. If you lose hope, you will be close to the gate of hell, and people no longer believe in God.
Science will not lie like fantasy, he will honestly tell the person who asks "do you like our city?" Crime rates and traffic congestion, as well as employment and industrial policy, answering other people's questions like this is not only contributing to the suicide rate, but also shameful.
The public has their own fantasies, and they hope to hear other people express it in elegant language. This kind of praise can not only make people feel better but also more confident, and they will also be more motivated to work. He feels that he is making a contribution to the city Contribute better.
Living things have shadows and present a three-dimensional shape, without shadows it is just a flat illusion, just like ants living in two dimensions.
If you want to see the dawn of divinity, you have to dig deep into the darkness of human nature. Many Muggles don't like to get to the bottom of it. They believe it easily when they get printed brochures, and rumors and rumors spread.
Before Hammer of the Witch was printed, it was mentally problematic for witchcraft to stay with wizards. The most evil book ever written was divided into three parts. The first part was a theological problem, the second part was a practical problem, and the third part was Regarding legal procedures, it innovatively proposed that witchcraft is a real crime, rather than a simple mental crime, thus providing a "theoretical basis" for "climate abnormalities are caused by witches' magic".
Rousseau's "luxury makes the country sluggish and pursues vanity, some citizens of the country become slaves, and all citizens are slaves of public opinion."
Public opinion does not play a supervisory role, but follows politicians to tell lies, which will make the consequences worse. Voldemort is back, but the Daily Prophet slanders Harry Potter as a liar, Albus Dumbledore is an old fool, and Harry was almost killed. Dropping out of school, Dumbledore was almost slandered as treason, and almost ruined his last reliance.
Thanks to Luna Lovegood, who was crazy, but that copy of The Quibbler made a lot of people see the truth, even though a lot of what was written in that magazine was nonsense.
Ravenclaw represents the unruly wind element, and is also good at climate magic. After Severus used up the expansion spell, she climbed down the rope ladder. Even with fluorescent flashes, the surroundings were still pitch black and there was nothing. , as if in a new universe.
In Newt's suitcase, there are many environments in different climates for magical animals to live in. Pomona wonders if he realizes that his world in the suitcase is like a creator.
It's just that the Creator created galaxies, stars, and planets one by one, and he created microclimates one after another.
"How do you feel? Is the space big enough?" Severus asked standing "upstairs", echoing in the darkness.
"Fantastic," she said admiringly, holding up her wand to let an ever-burning candle float in the air.
In fact, she wanted to use Ancient Plaid's Immortal Fire, but it was extremely profound magic, and even Felix didn't know how to use it. Only a fire mage like Albus Dumbledore could master it proficiently.
In fact, the earth is like a moth around a fire. It is too hot in summer when it is close, and it is cooler in winter when it is far away, but it is too far away and too cold, so it gets closer like a moth.
No matter how much she hates Ravenclaw, the floating candles in the auditorium and the ceiling with the same weather outside are the deepest impressions of every newcomer to Hogwarts.
Extraordinary wisdom is the greatest wealth of human beings.
Every book is actually a world, and the author is the creator of this world, and the consequences of angering the creator are very serious.
No one can stop the sun from stopping its output of heat.
Where there is light, there will also be darkness. She looked up at the candle floating like the sun, and couldn't help but feel lucky. It was such a blessing to be a wizard.
Hey, I'm a Muggle who believes in magic
