In front of 580,000 words and still needing to edit pictures, Harrison Clark suddenly felt like hanging himself.
Compared to this task, he’d rather be tied up by an invader and given a full-body massage with a particle-interference bomb.
The nature of academic underachievers is not measured in IQ, but rather in whether they have a firm and unwavering underachiever mindset.
When faced with adversity, the underachiever mindset teaches you how to exhaust your wisdom to find reasons to give up.
Harrison Clark was very experienced in this.
Why bother translating it?
I could use this opportunity to promote the Chinese language.
Using that as an excuse, Harrison Clark quickly abandoned the stale idea of translating it himself.
Post it directly in Chinese!
You guys think you’re so capable, huh?
You look down on us?
Don’t learn it if you’re so capable, don’t look at it.
A few months ago, Carrie Thomas stirred up a craze for native English speakers learning Chinese with her song “The Fire”. However, the scope was mostly limited to passionate music lovers and professional musicians.
This time, Harrison Clark decided to go harder.
The easiest way to eliminate cultural differences is to force others to learn the profound Chinese language.
If foreign people living in the UK don’t learn Chinese and, no matter how friendly they appear on the surface, it’s quite possible that once they return to their country, they’ll be able to write a book like “On the 108 Tricks to Hook Up with UK Girls”.
The sincerity of such people should be weighed carefully.
But after a native English speaker overcomes countless hardships to master Chinese and comes to the 9,600,000 square kilometers of the United Kingdom with the mindset of spying on the enemy, they easily fall into various delicacies, conveniences like mobile payment and online shopping, and the cultural atmosphere accumulated over 5,000 years, becoming a fake foreign devil.
This is the power of language.
Chinese and Latin languages, as completely different systems, do not only differ in pronunciation and written records.
Mastering different languages is equivalent to mastering different ways of thinking.
The impact and penetration of language on human nature is, on some level, more subtle, stronger, and deeper than the influence of “Song of the Wilderness”.
Using different languages to think in the mind, construct logic, and display character traits are entirely different.
No matter what their motives for learning Chinese are, once they start learning, they are destined to be quietly influenced by the language’s infiltration.
Hostility will naturally fade away, leading to mutual recognition, which is a probabilistic event.
Of course, there will definitely be stubborn hostile factions, but that’s not a problem for Harrison Clark, the self-proclaimed navigator of civilization.
He just tries to guide the general direction and leave the rest to time and civilization itself.
Harrison Clark then promptly posted his work on Summit Ventures’ official website and his personal Twitter account, then went to bed.
He planned to wake up tomorrow morning and see the reaction, and would only address it if it really didn’t work.
That night at midnight, another heavy bomb quietly fell into the internet.
This was a large academic work.
“Madman’s Conjecture Collection 2.0” – Harrison Clark.
The next morning.
Having had a rare and comfortable lie-in, Harrison Clark jumped energetically from his bed.
Last night, to avoid being called by some domestic jet-lag party who were unclear about the situation, he had blocked all incoming calls from unfamiliar numbers, so no one had reported to him, and he didn’t know the situation himself.
But he didn’t impatiently reach for his phone to scour social media right away.
If everything went as expected, “Madman’s Conjecture Collection 2.0” should now be fermenting domestically, and there should already be some heat, but it wouldn’t be too shocking since it had only been half a day.
After eating breakfast and booking his return flight to Los Angeles, Harrison Clark finally took out his phone and jumped over the firewall to check Twitter in the UK.
Huh?
Upon looking, he was somewhat surprised.
His psychological expectations were based on the situation with Version 1.0. However, the development of events this time was more than twice as fast as he had anticipated. Right now, the domestic social platforms were almost tearing apart.
After some thought, Harrison Clark figured out the reason.
Last time he had just released his work, the first group of people he faced were not academics, but fans of Summit Ventures’ music and some of his personal creative fans.
After being passed on through this group and a small number of overlapping academics, the influence of Version 1.0 eventually permeated into the academic sphere like water soaking into a towel. It went through a lot of questioning and debate, and only exploded suddenly after no one could prove it wrong.
The situation had changed this time.
Even if he had never received any academic titles, or participated in any large academic discussions, the value of “The Madman’s Conjectures Collection” had continued to ferment after so many days.
His status in the world had changed.
People’s first reaction to his work had quietly shifted from astonishment and suspicion to other thoughts.
“Madman’s Conjecture Collection 2.0? So that means the previous one was Version 1.0? What’s in this one?”
“Hurry up and learn, hurry up and read.”
“Don’t ask, ask and you’re a noob.”
“Prove it wrong? First, deal with Version 1.0, and then consider this one.”
“Huh, this one has even more words. What’s his big plan this time?”
That’s right; this time, from the very beginning, Harrison Clark didn’t have to face any questioning.
The same thing, at a different stage, became much easier for him to do.
This is the advantage of fame and the value of authority.
Due to the time difference between China and the United States, it was only after a night’s sleep over here that many scholars in the UK had gotten the electronic version of the book during lunchtime, either reading it on their computers or printing it out to make notes as they read.
Now that it was morning over here, those people were just getting busy with a whole afternoon and were only beginning their night..
