What's wrong with a lord daddy who just wants to draw cards?

Chapter 20-20- Prizeless Guessing
In the struggle with his own thoughts, Connor unknowingly forgot that Domi had also drawn a sketch of JK.

Compared with graffiti, which can only provide a glimpse into the future, he believes that as the future teacher of these three children, it is necessary for him to get to know them and develop feelings for them before officially starting teaching.

After all, this tutor lasted six years.

Connor admitted his identity and asked Domi and the others to sit across from him.

"Your father hired me to teach you, but I don't know anything about you yet. Therefore, in order to better teach you in accordance with your aptitude, I am going to ask you a few questions. If you can answer them, it doesn't matter. If you can't, it doesn't matter. They all teach."

The three of them nodded like chickens pecking at rice. No one wanted to make a fool of themselves in front of their "head teacher" for the next six years.

"Cough cough~"

After Connor cleared his throat, he asked the first question:
"Three people use three buckets of water in three days. How many buckets of water do nine people use in nine days?"

Great, this is a math question.

The test is about basic oral arithmetic skills and the ability to make sharp turns in logic.

As an experienced person, Domi quickly figured out the answer, but he did not rush to answer. Instead, he observed Edward and Argyle.

He didn't want to leave a bad impression in Connor's mind, but he also didn't want to receive special attention from him, which would be detrimental to him being able to cheat him unknowingly.

So he can answer questions, but he can't take away too many opportunities.

But he had better let him win the first one, after all, neither of the two brothers seemed to be very good at mathematics.

Especially Edward, after using his fingers, he wanted to use his toes too.

It would be even worse if the three of them were looked down upon by Connor.

Thinking of this, he immediately raised his hand and shouted: "27 barrels!"

Connor looked at him approvingly: "The answer is correct..."

This is actually a not very rigorous question, but no matter what angle you think about it, the answer is 27.

The question can be understood as:
One person uses one bucket of water for three days
Three people use one bucket of water a day
Or one person uses one-third of a bucket of water a day
If you fall into a misunderstanding, it is really difficult to figure it out.

Such questions may be a bit difficult for a college student, but they are just right for a preschooler.

I made a mental note to Dominic, and then came the next question:
"A carriage was driving through the dense forest at an extremely fast speed, but at this time, two forked roads appeared in front of it. On one forked road, there were nine innocent civilians lying on it, while on the other forked road, there was only one civilian lying on it. , also innocent.

An ordinary rickshaw driver also has his own life. He doesn't want to hit a tree trunk and die in vain, so he must choose a forked road, and passing any forked road will crush the civilians lying on the road to death.

If you were a driver, what would you choose to do?
This is an open question. Openness means that there is no fixed answer to this question. The answer is what you think in your mind. Feel free to speak freely. "

While they were thinking hard, they didn't even notice that Carlos had arrived in the lobby. After listening to the entire topic, he quietly hid. He also wanted to know what choices his three children would have.

Such dilemma questions often reflect a person's moral philosophy.

It has troubled generations of people since its inception. Countless thinkers have thought about it, but nothing has come up with it.

But even such a topic that can make people scratch their hair failed to trap Edward in the slightest.

For the first time, he became the first brave man to answer:
"I'd jump on top of the car, then jump up before the car hit the tree, grab a branch and hide in the canopy, and no one would have to die! Oh...except the poor horse."

In response to this answer, both Carlos and Connor gave a kind smile.

This answer shows that Edward does not want anyone to die, which just shows his kind nature.

"What do you two think?"

Argyle frowned. He did not have the outrageous imagination of Edward, and was caught in the same dilemma as everyone else.

It can be said that maturity not only allows him to think like an adult, but also allows him to abandon the romance of a child.He finally gave the answer: "I think I will let the carriage go to the side road where there is only one person."

"To society, the value of nine civilians is much higher than that of one civilian... I am sorry to make this choice, precisely because the coachman I played is also a civilian, and I am not qualified to judge that my value is higher than that civilian. Why can't it be me who dies?"

When he said this, he fell into deep thought again. At this moment, all the knowledge he had learned before seemed to be of no use, which made him very distressed.

Argyle lowered his head in frustration: "Teacher Connor, I may not be able to give a suitable answer now."

The imagined punishment did not come. Connor patted him on the shoulder and comforted:

"It doesn't matter. No one can give a standard answer so far. In other words, there will never be a standard answer. You don't have to blame yourself."

Although Argyle was quite disappointed with his answer, Carlos agreed with it.

Edward's ambitions are all over the world, and Dominic is better off living in the shadows, so Argyle is naturally his first choice to succeed him.

For a lord, when certain people must be sacrificed, the preservation of the general population is the most important aspect to consider, unless there are other factors intervening.

A lord who can think of the majority of people is a qualified lord.

"It seems that Argyle can be allowed to develop in the field of governance in the future..."

Just as Carlos was immersed in his imagination, Connor's words immediately brought him back to reality:
"So Dominic, what do you think? Your two brothers have already answered it well."

Domi knew very well that this problem was a different world version of the tram problem in his previous life. Just like the situation here, no one could solve it. Naturally, he didn't know a reasonable explanation, but he knew Connor's purpose.

Since he wanted to understand his own heart, he couldn't do what he wanted.

One of the rules of survival in another world is to never let others see into your heart.

Therefore, he will not give any answer, but instead use absolute rationality to analyze some possibilities.

"I hope this will make Connor give up questioning me..."

He rearranged the possibilities in his mind, organized his words, and finally spoke after taking a deep breath:

“If I think it’s better to die one person than nine people, that’s utilitarianism;

On the contrary, if I choose the side road of nine people and therefore kill nine people, this is deontological;
So I'm going to spend all my time thinking about which solution is more virtuous, but the wagon has run over nine people and it's virtue ethics;
So I weigh which method will not infringe on the rights of the other party. This is rights-based ethics;
Then if I put that civilian on the crossroads of nine people, then let myself lie down on it, and let the carriage run over and eventually kill eleven people, this is deathism. "

The audience fell into silence because of Domi's statement.

In silence, he met Connor's old eyes without hesitation:

“As you said before, there is no standard answer to this question.

What I am talking about are just some of the possibilities, and all possibilities are the result of extension of the human ethics principles developed today, such as moral skepticism, moral nihilism, surrealism, mechanical ethics, and self-interest. ism, etc., all have corresponding countless answers and countless disguised answers.

Before the emergence of new human ethics, all the answers I mentioned belong to one of the possibilities.

So you can think that I haven't answered any of them, or that I have answered them all. "

Speaking of this, Duomi suddenly thought of something and added:
"If I had to choose one, I think I would follow relational ethics and save the people who are close to me, even if there is only one..."
