Simon nodded without hesitation when he heard Philip's question: "Of course."

Everyone looked at the ears again.

Simon sorted out his thoughts and said, "First of all, even if we think we are one head higher than all species on this planet, there is no objection to humans being mass organisms, right?"

The few people around him didn't know why, but nodded.

Simon said: "In nature, mass creatures are not just us, from ants to wolves, all of which are like this. And all these mass creatures have a very distinctive feature. Do you know what it is?"

Next to the dining table.

James and Carol looked at each other without saying a word. The other two young men were seriously considering their appearance. Soon, Philip subconsciously spoke: "Class."

Nora glanced at her boyfriend and turned to Simon again.

Simon shrugged and smiled, "This is obviously a not very likable word, right?"

The two young men nodded together, reacted, but felt that it was inappropriate, but there was no explanation.

Simon said: "The problem is that this is precisely a key to solving human social problems. Just like the most typical ant colony, clear division of labor, queens, worker ants, soldier ants, etc., the mission is circulated in order, which has led to the reproduction and survival of this species on the earth for hundreds of millions of years."

Speaking of this, everyone actually understands what Simon wants to say. It is still the ruthless argument: humans need class.

However, no one has the intention to be hanged.

After hesitating, Nora spoke first: "Simon, there is a big problem with this."

Simon nodded: "Of course, and it's a very big problem. Just like ants, they do not have as complicated ideas as humans and do not have as diverse desires as humans, so they can perform their own duties. The most important thing is that their queens will not take out maps like the heads of the former Soviet Union, as soon as they come to power, consume national finances and repair sanatoriums everywhere, and even use the army."

Philip said: "So, Simon, this is obviously not the solution."

"No, that's it," Simon said: "For example, if you want to solve the problem of the rust belt, the authorities must cooperate, capital must cooperate, and the people of the rust belt must cooperate, and even areas outside the rust belt need to cooperate. Then, Washington gave revitalization policies and financial support. If the automobile giants want to sign factories back, the people must take the initiative to accept lower wages and give up the harsh labor regulations. As long as these are done, it's very simple, isn't it? Because everyone actually knows what to do. Then, the rust belt can be revitalized. The problem now is that all parties involved are not willing to do this. Then, this requires a strong enough, well, queen ant to bridge the differences, and even if any party is unwilling to cooperate, queen ant needs to introduce compulsory measures to force them to implement it."

Philip nodded slightly and whispered: "The question is, Simon, how do you make sure that after this 'Queen' has enough power, he will do the right thing in the right direction, rather than taking out the map and repairing a nursing home for himself everywhere?"

Simon shook his head: "I can't guarantee that everyone can only have a gamble."

Now I was stunned when I sat there.

Simon shrugged again without waiting for them to respond: "Many people think that the federal system is the best, but in fact, people have always suggested that this is not the case. The federal system can only ensure that things do not develop in the worst direction, but it also leads to many things not being able to develop in the best direction."

James finally spoke: "This is a dead knot."

Nora frowned, no longer had the confidence that Simon had in his country when he first raised the topic, but he became more and more worried: "Simon, isn't it the worst result if the Great Depression in 1929 repeats itself?"

The others didn't say anything and looked at Simon again.

Simon shook his head: "Of course not. As a thorough pessimist, frankly speaking, human destruction is the worst outcome I imagined. Moreover, it is the destruction caused by human self-behavior, not the natural disaster like a comet hitting the earth."

Philip said: "Simon, you mean, nuclear war?"

This is not difficult to guess. After all, it is the core circle of the Westeros system. Simon's layout is also known here.

Simon nodded: "Yes, nuclear war."

Nora said: "I don't think a nuclear war will break out. Everyone knows that there will be no winners in nuclear war."

Simon looked at the girl opposite the dining table: "Do you know the Black Stone Theory?"

Nora hmmed: "The problem is, the black stone is so obvious, who would be willing to pick it up, right?"

"What is the biggest feature of human history?" Simon asked the question and asked himself directly: "Accidentality. Human history has many inevitable trends, but what really pushes history forward is not all kinds of natural necessities, but countless accidents, such as the sudden death of the king who worked hard to govern, such as the sudden coldness that suddenly came in a war, and the inconspicuous 9mm caliber Browning M1900 pistol. Now, exactly the same thing, almost everyone thinks that nuclear war will not break out, which seems to be an inevitable, but the same thing is that history only has some inevitable trends, but it is countless accidents that drive it forward. Besides, the Black Stone Theory just now, of course, Black Stone is very obvious, and rational people will not pick it up. The problem is that in most cases, we are actually picking up stones with our eyes closed, which is the accident of history."

Silence again.

After a while, Carol, who had not spoken much, finally said: "Simon, this matter is too heavy. You scared Nora. Let's go back to the topic just now?"

Nora was indeed a little scared because, she also realized that perhaps Simon's perception was right, but she was a little embarrassed by her expectant mother-in-law saying this, and she also developed a competitive spirit. She took the initiative to continue: "Simon, then, regarding the topic just now, I think you should have the ability to promote some changes now, and you obviously hope to make changes, so, are you going to do it?"

Simon shook his head without thinking: "I can't do it."

Nora was surprised: "Why?"

Simon said: "I remember the last guy who was going to make a lot of changes to the Federation, well, his skull was blown off."

Everyone: "..."

John Kennedy is undoubtedly the president who is most eager to reform after Roosevelt in modern federal history. However, during his tenure, he actually did very little in the end. In addition to successfully resolving the Cuban missile crisis, this is actually not a change, and it is also the promotion of the Civil Rights Act.

As a result, the later presidents, especially the Democratic president, found that the card of civil rights was the least risky, so they played it again and again, and avoided other issues that really involved the core.

Philip looked at his brother-in-law with some anticipation: "Simon, is it really a dead end?"

To everyone's surprise, Simon shook his head again and said, "If we cannot reasonably introduce a 'Ant Queen', and we must be lucky enough to get a 'Ant Queen' with super capable and selfless 'Ant Queen', then the best outcome of the Federation is to repeat the time in 1929. In the process of being pushed down, all the injured classes gave up their differences and made changes together. Of course, it is best to cooperate with a president like Roosevelt."

James nodded slightly and couldn't help saying, "It's still pessimistic."

Nora said, "Simon, then, can't we really do anything?"

"I'm doing it," Simon smiled softly: "If the 3G plan really can achieve a breakthrough and promote another technological revolution, not only the Federation, but also the entire human society, can enjoy the reform dividends for a long time again."

Nora persevered: "So, what about after 'a long time'?"
