Chapter 421: Chapter 420: Discussion on Cultivation

Just as Peter Brown was live-streaming here, a discussion about Peter Brown also unfolded at the core of the Hua Nation.

A middle-aged man wearing glasses earnestly said, "Commanders, in regard to Peter Brown’s live-streaming, I have my own opinion. His actions attack our theory! I believe it should be banned."

The matter of Peter Brown was rapidly escalating. Initially, everyone didn’t think much of it, but as live-streaming became more popular, everyone began to feel uneasy and sensed this issue was headed towards complexity.

No sooner had he finished than another scholar-like person shook his head and said, "I disagree with your view. We can’t turn a blind eye to the facts when doing anything. The public has a right to know the truth about what exists. I don’t think this matter is a big deal."

Publicity advocating against the existence of ghosts and gods had been ongoing for some time, and Peter Brown was boldly promoting these concepts here. So it’s no wonder there is controversy, as it contradicts mainstream propaganda.

"Not a big deal, we are atheists!"

The two engaged in a dispute.

At this moment, a soldier said, "I found that we misunderstood atheism. Materialism and atheism coincide, which I don’t challenge, but equating materialism with atheism, this merits discussion. With the development of science, we have discovered in our research that the mind is actually material, and it cannot be deemed idealistic just by mentioning the mind!"

With his statement, everyone began to ponder on this topic. Indeed, with the advancement of technology, the existence of the mind, which can be measured, can also be attributed to the properties of matter.

"It is true, many experiments have been carried out by science and technology workers in some countries, all of which have proven the existence of mental power. This existence is not empty but a material existence. Insisting that this real existence is idealistic is not in line with our development view!" One leader of scientific research background remarked.

The soldier continued, "There has never been a savior, it’s always up to us. So, it’s right. The same is true for Buddhism, ’the Buddha is in your heart, you are the Buddha.’ You see, this returns to atheism. Actually, I believe that many theories need to evolve. We are walking down the path of Communism. On this path, we should embrace development, which is completely correct. Does cultivation exist or not? I think everyone here knows it does exist, it’s just that we refuse to believe. Is cultivation not materialistic? I don’t think so. In my view, cultivation is about exploring our inner selves. It depends on ourselves and explores higher principles of matter. The whole process is based on matter."

A scholarly-looking old man nodded and said, "What you said makes sense. We do indeed have misconceptions in our understandings. Not to mention what it is, is the ancient tomb there? Is this a fact? Peter Brown made an Earth Drilling Shuttle mechanically, allowing us to venture into the place, does this Earth Drilling Shuttle exist? The gaining of great power through special cultivation methods, does that exist? In my opinion, all these facts do exist objectively. Their existence will not disappear just because we don’t believe in it. Just as Peter Brown said, we cannot view everything from our own established standards. Do aliens exist? There’s no need to ask this question, as we have all seen them with our own eyes. They truly exist. Do they breathe oxygen?"

At this point, the old man said, "We can not negate everything with a simple verdict. I do think that cultivation is a manifestation of materialism. We seek from within and develop through our own efforts, and become stronger by ourselves. What’s wrong with that? Dogmatism is unacceptable. Since Peter Brown has already done this, we should adopt a supportive attitude and make breakthroughs in theory. We need to publicize cultivation as a form of materialism!"

"But, their concept of achieving immortality suggests theism!"

"Hehe, where do immortals come from? I believe they are also attained through the human body reaching a certain level, a rearrangement of the physical body. Immortals are also materialistic in my view, theism and atheism can’t shake our Communist ideals and beliefs!"

Upon these words, everyone pondered thoughtfully.

Indeed, even if there is a God, it can’t shake our direction. People are earnestly considering this reasoning.

Thinking about the situation Peter Brown has stirred up, the leaders present were also studying the matter. Now that so many people have entered the live stream room, including foreigners, it’s impossible to hide it anymore. Since it truly exists and strictly speaking, it is also materialistic content, there is no reason to oppose it, right?

After a while, the leading leader nodded vigorously and said, "Well spoken, we can’t categorize everything we can’t research due to our limited scientific level as idealistic. Many things truly exist. Existence is reasonable. As long as it exists, there is a carrier, and there is matter. It’s time for us to break through this cognitive trap!"

The academic-looking elder nodded and said: "I’m unsure when the interpretation of materialism as atheism started, but I find it unreasonable. We should carry out thorough research in this area. The development of modern technology has proved many things. As long as spirit is also a form of matter, we just need to strive towards a grand target and give up what needs to be given up."

Everyone fell into deep thought at this moment. They felt that if they didn’t break through the misconception in their thinking, their whole ideology would be affected and their consciousness would be confined.

After a discussion among several leaders, the one at the head said: "Everyone’s comments are good, but this theory needs further research. We should change our ideas now and not blindfold people anymore. We should allow the existence of things we don’t understand. As for Peter Brown’s issue, we neither oppose it nor heavily promote it. We should just let him develop."

Everyone had a discussion and came up with some new ideas about what Peter Brown was doing.

One of the leaders said: "Peter Brown is an impressive Alchemist. Also, as far as we know, he is also a mechanic. He can combine artifact refinement with machinery manufacturing, which is extraordinary. We should learn from him and convert his technologies into something that serves the common people, which is what we should do."

"Indeed, I believe Peter Brown’s machinery factory is where he makes his inventions. The state should help him develop it."

One of the leaders asked, "If the state intervenes, wouldn’t he object?"

With a hearty laugh, a military leader said: "You are underestimating Peter Brown. He is not a man in need of money. Look at his live stream. He is earning at least hundreds of billions now and we don’t even understand what he is doing. Do you know what he does with all that money? He has established a charity foundation and put all his income into it claiming it to be used for charitable causes. He is a comrade with lofty ideals. We should support him. As far as I can see, all he does is for the development of the country."

"Indeed, this young comrade Peter Brown is an extraordinary individual who could aggregate so much power, which is commendable. We can no longer pretend to be blind to the situation. We have to support where we should, at least we should facilitate him. What he is doing is in the national and people’s interest. If his inventions and creations are realized, our country will have new opportunities, and it could be our chance to surpass the Western world!"

"Well said, I think we should primarily support Peter Brown, protect him and more importantly, break through the fog in our understanding and further perfect our theories."

Everyone understood that Peter Brown’s machinery factory might indeed produce something special next. If that happens, there will be a major upgrade in technological innovation and the comprehensive national power of Hua Nation will also be improved. If that really happens, the nation will become even stronger."

"Yes, we should inform the province and fully support Peter Brown!"

With this unanimous understanding, the intensity of support for Peter Brown increased significantly.

Soon after, Henry Martin received a call from his superior. After listening to the content of the call, he sighed as he looked at Peter Brown’s live stream once again.

His son has offended Peter Brown, now he has to smooth things over.

Henry Martin had not expected Peter Brown’s development to be so swift, let alone for him to become so powerful.

This morning, Henry Martin received a call from the Western Gibson family. It was a call from the patriarch of the Prentice family, specifically telling him that Peter Brown is now too powerful for the Gibson family to provoke, and urged him to use his previous connections to strengthen their relationship with Peter Brown further.

After some thought, Henry Martin called his secretary and said: "Arrange for me, I plan to visit Green Water Village. Comrade Peter Brown has made such a big move there, the province must have a stance and should fully support him."

"Boss, Green Water Village is too lively now, with too many people flocking there. I think it might be inconvenient for Peter Brown to carry on with his machinery manufacturing. That place is sure to become a tourist hotspot next. We should consult with Commrade Peter Brown and plan to move to another place next."

Hearing this, Henry Martin realized the situation was evolving and after a moment of thought, he slowly nodded and said: "I will discuss this matter with Comrade Peter Brown."
