Chapter 102 Wonderful Speech
The third debater of the Zhengfang, the captain of the Xuehai Team, was named Gao Yuan. He is one of the oldest debaters present except for his mentors. He is 33 years old and is an executive of a technology company.
The captain of the opposing three debaters, Lexiang's team leader, is named Zhang Wenping, who is also one of the oldest debaters. He is 36 years old this year and is a university lecturer.
In fact, the number of votes in the previous period is no longer important. The final result only depends on the performance of the two of them. Each has a chance to speak, a chance to open a bargain and a chance to conclude a debate.
Of course, the positive side is now at a big disadvantage in the 19th session, and the negative side is the party who speaks later. In the regular speech, the positive side does not have an advantage.
The personnel arrangements for this game were carefully considered by Luo Mingjie and fully respected the contestants' personal wishes. The identities of the two are closely related to this debate topic.
Gao Yuan tidied up his straight suit and stood up.
Although he is an executive and a successful person in the eyes of everyone, he is still a little nervous in such an occasion.
"When I heard the promotion of "Best Debate", my first reaction was actually a little surprised. I was thinking, this is also called debate? But then I thought again, there is an advantage of this competition system, which is that it can give me enough time and share some of my small experiences in life with you without any pressure."
"Everyone knows that in addition to the debater, I have another identity. I am the management of an artificial intelligence technology company. Before being promoted to management, I was an ordinary program or scientific researcher. Like many people here, I experienced that long war. Of course, this experience also had a certain impact on myself, allowing me to enter the field of artificial intelligence that is excluded by everyone."
"Before I really started research in this field, I spent many years learning English, computer science, and a lot of basic knowledge concepts, and finally started research in the field of artificial intelligence, and I got to this point today. Please think about it, is it meaningful for me to learn this knowledge?"
"Of course, I know you will say it makes sense, because it is the process of learning knowledge and mastering knowledge. But I want to study and explore the most cutting-edge artificial intelligence technology. My years of learning are just a tool. Suppose, if I can obtain these basic knowledge and obtain these tools when I first entered this industry, I can save many years of time, so how much progress will I make today?"
"This is just an example of me. Think about each of you. How much time do you have to accumulate in your professional field and how much time is really used to study? If there is a chip that can directly put the cutting-edge knowledge into your mind, then how much time will you save, and how much time will you go in this professional field!"
There was a warm applause in the scene instantly!
This speech by Gaoyuan was entirely based on one's own perspective and explained a simple truth, that is, this technology can save a lot of learning time and reduce costs, and this will inevitably promote the progress of technology and research, so that everyone's work can be easier and more efficient. It is precisely because starting from one's own perspective that this speech is very down-to-earth and can resonate with the audience.
Gao Yuan ignored the audience's applause and continued.
"One of the other debaters' views is very interesting, that is, ignorance is also a kind of happiness. The world where everyone shares knowledge is ridiculous. For example, seeing a beggar on the street talking about artificial intelligence and calculus is very absurd. But I have a different view on this."
"Knowledge determines our vision. We often say that the thinking of poor people and the thinking of rich people. What is the difference between these two? It is the difference in vision and knowledge. The world in the eyes of ordinary people is completely different from the world in the eyes of professionals. For example, when you see the stars in the sky, you will only say that the stars are so beautiful. But when astronomers see the stars in the sky, they can call out the names of each galaxy, they can know how far each star is from us, and they can even tell the story of our discovery of this star... What is this called the happiness of knowledge."
"Indeed, ignorance and rejecting knowledge can be very happy, but please think about it carefully. Don't you want to know what the name of each star is? Don't you want to know how many years of light on the stars have been going on in the universe before coming to the earth? Or are you just want to look up at the starry sky, just look at the stars glowing, and you are satisfied?"
"Knowledge sharing is equivalent to presenting us with a colorful world in the eyes of others. Although our own world is beautiful, do you not want to go to other worlds to see it? Can you really resist the beauty of those worlds you have never been exposed to?"
"If one day, the beggars on the street are talking about artificial intelligence and calculus, what's wrong? Is it better to deprive him of the right to know the world and feel beauty just because he is a beggar? Moreover, if he really knows this knowledge, he will realize his shortcomings. I think he will start a gorgeous life of his own, rather than continue to be a beggar!"
Applause was everywhere.
"Awesome, that's great!"
"Indeed, the beggar said that calculus is strange, but what's wrong with it?"
"I really cried, I feel so touched! I always said before that we don't understand the world of academic masters because we don't understand the beauty of knowledge. We couldn't get into those worlds before. If we have this technology now, I will definitely support it with both hands!"
Gao Yuan still continued to speak when the applause had not completely stopped. He wanted to take advantage of the current heat to strike while the iron was hot and strengthen the concept in the audience's mind.
"To be honest, today we are all vested interests of knowledge, and we all benefit from knowledge. Because of knowledge, we have gained our current work, current social status, and even stand here to speak, so that all audiences can see the right to see. We all know how important knowledge is to change our destiny, and how can we bear to deprive others of the right to have knowledge?"
"Back to the topic of beggar just now, what are we laughing when all of us, including all the audiences on the scene, burst into laughter? We are laughing at the beggar's ignorance. We are laughing at the beggar's ignorance. We are laughing at him for being ignorant but still talking about artificial intelligence and calculus. This is absurd. But we should be clear that being born equal is just a beautiful wish. In fact, many people are born at the end of most people as soon as they are born."
"Have you ever thought about why he became a beggar? You have been emphasizing that the result of learning is not important, the process is important, and hard work is needed, but do you know how many people can't learn even if they work hard? Maybe that beggar was born in a remote village in District 6. No one has taught him real knowledge since childhood. Maybe he has worked hard, but he has failed again and again for various reasons? You have always emphasized the little happiness of ignorance and the joy of trying to gain knowledge, but have you ever thought that for this beggar, ignorance is not a kind of happiness, and no matter how hard he tries, he cannot gain knowledge. This is the eternal curse of fate!"
