30: Chapter 30 Knowledge Carries the Toxicity of Corruption 30: Chapter 30 Knowledge Carries the Toxicity of Corruption “So-called worldview is what the world looks like through your eyes,”

“Whereas perspectives on life and values are the measures and definitions you apply to yourself and external objects in this world.”

“Before your correct set of values has maturely developed, rashly exposing yourself to knowledge beyond your cognitive dimensions can impact your psyche.”

Nurse Liu walked up to Wang Yunxiao and patted his shoulder, speaking softly, “Let’s take an example.

Suppose Wang Yunxiao—everyone here is familiar with him—but if one day someone told you that he’s different from you all, that he’s actually the President’s illegitimate child.

The tragedy you all endured back then, the real truth might be that someone was planning to assassinate him, and the collateral damage from the battle between the assassins and the experts protecting him destroyed the entire district and also killed your relatives…”

“Impossible!”

Youtiao rebuffed subconsciously.

Yet, he couldn’t control the thoughts in his heart from spreading in an implausibly possible direction.

“It’s just a hypothesis,”

Nurse Liu retracted her hand, walked to the blackboard, and wrote down three sentences.

“The world is made up of dimensions.”

“Knowledge has toxicity.”

“Matter is the carrier of thought.”

After writing these three sentences, she turned around and continued, “Just now, many of you must have seriously considered the likelihood of the hypothesis I just made.

And even now, when I’ve already made it clear to you that it’s just a hypothesis, some of you are still holding out hope, subconsciously treating me as someone who knows the truth leaking it or as a Prophet whose words come true, am I right?”

“There’s no need to be ashamed.

This is a very normal psychological change.”

Seeing several students with flushed faces hanging their heads, she went on to explain, “As a social species, humans have an innate survival instinct that subconsciously opts to accept information conveyed by their peers.

The more unknown and novel the information, the faster it is accepted.

Because compared to the harsh natural environment, information that has been filtered through peers, just like boiled water, is obviously more secure.”

“Modern media studies are based on this principle.

People never care about a newspaper that narrates events seriously, but the more sensational and the more bizarre the news, the easier it is to attract attention.

Many readers firmly believe it, without considering the authenticity and rationality of the news…”

My scalp is itching, feeling like my brain is going to grow out.

Commander Huo, you’re right!

Children should act their age and study hard!

Wang Yunxiao lamented inwardly.

I really deserve to die, I should’ve heeded the advice!

It’s no longer about bending over to pick up a pen cap, I’ve just been staring straight at the teacher, and in less than five minutes, I’ve lost track of what she’s talking about!

Now it’s a kind of embarrassing parental guidance.

Wang Yunxiao discreetly glanced left and right and noticed that his brothers all had stunned expressions and lifeless eyes.

And Nurse Liu didn’t care if they could accept it or not; if they couldn’t, they just didn’t have to come to class anymore.

There was no compulsion for them to attend, so she might as well slack off.

“So to be accurate, knowledge beyond the scope of personal cognition is toxic to oneself; regardless of whether it’s true or false, it will affect your spirit, erode your willpower, shake your state of mind, and cause you to gradually lose reason and descend into Qi Deviation.”

“But this toxicity can be resolved.”

“The nobility of Ancient Rome didn’t understand the dangers of lead, using it to make cosmetics and water pipes, leading to their descendants having lower intelligence and frail bodies.

But modern people, having studied the toxic principles of lead, no longer make the same mistakes.”

“In the past, some people were fearless due to ignorance, disregarding the toxicity of knowledge and ultimately falling into madness.

There were also those who, upon recognizing the toxicity of knowledge, began to fear it, even advocating for anti-intellectual education and laissez-faire governance.

These serve as negative examples for you.”

“Now, the times have changed.”

Nurse Liu said sternly, “You should feel fortunate that you’re able to study at this school.

Other institutions in Tianmen City still follow traditional conservative teaching philosophies; some even accept Confucian classics while rejecting all modern scientific courses.

Principal Zhou’s educational philosophy, however, is to cultivate students’ sound minds.

After you’ve completed all your middle and high school courses, when your minds have maturely developed and you’ve established a mature worldview, you’ll not be poisoned when exposed to these pieces of knowledge…”

“Did you all understand what I’ve said?

If so, please raise your hand.”

Very few hands were raised.

It’s not that they couldn’t understand, but rather most were still immersed in the pain of knowledge’s sharp edges tearing through their brain tissues, unable to react immediately.

The key issue is you also told us beforehand not to take your words at face value…

“Now, you have another choice to make.”

Nurse Liu said softly, “With your current state of mind, continuing to touch upon deeper knowledge will only gradually accumulate toxicity, bringing you more pain.

You are students, not soldiers; there’s no need to force yourselves.

The door is right there, you can choose to go back to the dormitory to sleep, and upon waking up, you’ll remember nothing.”

Wang Yunxiao’s mind suddenly cleared, keenly seizing on the key point in Nurse Liu’s just-spoken words.

Was it reliant on drugs, or some special ability, to induce selective amnesia?

He turned his head to look at the people around him; Chen Yan was flipping through her notes, her expression unchanged, probably not her first time attending this class today.

As for the brothers he brought along…

Each had a vacant and dull gaze, like a fresh young maiden who had just been ravaged.

But no one left.

Nurse Liu waited a few minutes, then nodded in satisfaction, turned around, and continued writing on the blackboard with chalk.

“Since you’re prepared mentally, I’ll not hold back.

The knowledge I’m going to share with you is a military-grade simplified version of the curriculum; it’s toxic, yet the risk is generally manageable.

Do not ask questions, nor think too much, just remember every word I say.”

She drew a line next to the world view, writing out a series of terms like “Heavenly Realm,” “Star Realm,” “Real World,” “Outer Dimension,” “Netherworld,” “Dreamland,” “Moon Phase,” “Outer Gods,” “New Gods,” “Heavenly Dao”…

Wang Yunxiao’s eyes twitched slightly.

Come on, it’s the first lesson, shouldn’t we start with ABC?

Isn’t this a bit too advanced?

“Why are you looking at me?

Look at the board!”

Nurse Liu rapped on the blackboard: “Learn from your class leader; next time remember to bring pen and paper, a good memory is not as reliable as bad handwriting.

Another thing to remember, your notes must not be leaked; soon after grasping the knowledge, dispose of them.

The toxicity contained in this knowledge is extremely dangerous to ordinary people.”
