Chapter 274 Teaching and Learning

Superman Enterprises strictly abides by the "nine to five" commuting time, with a two-hour lunch break in between.

In other words, there are only about six hours of work per day.

When the former Hongmeng was still on the rise, it also implemented the "six-hour work system" and "seven-hour work system".If it is dangerous labor or heavy labor approved by the relevant department, then only four hours of work are required per day.For the Hongmeng citizens at that time, the "eight-hour working system" was still very capitalistic and exploitative. "Overtime" is contributing to the economic crisis of overproduction.

This is not alarmist talk, one person does the work of two people, but with a wage of [-] people, it is equivalent to eliminating the consumption of half a person.If consumption does not increase, the cycle of social reproduction will be blocked, and an economic crisis will naturally sprout.In Japan, where employees take the initiative to clock in and go back to work after work, it saves wages for the company and makes it impossible for the labor bureau to deal with nonsense. Maybe the economy is too normal.

It's just that the former Hongmeng has been suffering from internal and external troubles, and the implementation of these work systems in various places is not uniform.With the eyeing eyes of the Third Reich, the former Red League even suspended this system in preparation for war.But in the bloody storm of the Great Patriotic War, the Red League began to ignore the cost, and its lofty ideals were completely forgotten.Since the 70s and [-]s, the privileged class in the Hongmeng has been able to do whatever they want, and they even dare to clamor that they can "do whatever they want."The system of guaranteeing workers' welfare is useless.

Except for a very small number of small-scale workshop-style enterprises, perhaps Superman Enterprise is the only large-scale enterprise on the earth whose average annual working hours are so short since the 90s.

The time outside these six hours is freely arranged by the employees.

The clerks on the West Third Ring Road, Tao Enhai is rare.If you want to come to them after get off work, you can also make an appointment to go to the shopping mall and watch a movie.Or you can chat.

After all, there was only one office over there.

On the research center side, there are many more choices.Xiang Shan and the others occupied an entire office building.Not only that, but there are several laboratories around them that belong to them.

The remaining space is much larger.

Superman Enterprises also has a rather impressive library, which is guarded and open to employees on their off days.There are a lot of information in it, and there are also some entertainment products for relaxation.

In addition, Superman also encourages employees to spontaneously form "interest groups" and other organizations after work.Moderate exercise is good for keeping energetic.Fighting enthusiast Mr. Chen Feng organized a "lunch break swordsmanship training class" in the company, and several enthusiasts often used their lunch break to practice their hands in the basement.

However, they also have some more "academic" side activities.

For example, give a lecture.

Even among the world's top scholars, many of them hold teaching positions.The "teaching position" here does not refer to leading graduate students like a craftsman leads an apprentice, but teaching in front of the class in a serious manner.For example, Mr. Hermann Minkowski met the yet-to-be-famous Albert Einstein in a mathematics class at the University of Zurich, and left the latter with "bad mathematics" and "a lazy dog" Wait for comments.

You know, when Minkowski was 17 years old, he was already the world's top mathematician, and he was able to chat and laugh with David Hilbert, the world's number one mathematician at that time, when he was just 20 years old.And when he despised the mathematics level of the young Einstein, he was already in his thirties.

In addition to the idea of ​​"continuing learning" and satisfying the spiritual needs of "teaching and educating people", it is also very beneficial for scholars to take up teaching positions.

The essence of science is to use a set of "discourses that everyone can accept" to put the "partial truth" that one sees into words, and then compare it with others, to strengthen each other, so as to make continuous progress.

And the process of thinking about "how to teach others the truth I know" is the overall thinking about what I have learned.You have to make people see the facts you see, convince others, and let others accept your ideas from scratch.This process is conducive to academic research of systematic research.

Naturally, Xiang Shan has a name in Tsinghua University.Chen Feng is also a researcher at Peking University.Aside from them, the other scholars in the Enterprise don't mind being named to a local academic institution.This also facilitates their integration into the local environment.However, limited by the research arrangements, the researchers of Superman Enterprise basically do not have teaching positions in universities.

Therefore, they want to give lectures, that is, internally.

This is an initiative advocated by Xiang Shan.The heads of the research department have more or less done this kind of thing.Rest time or working hours without scientific research tasks are fine. You can do whatever you want, and the content is self-defined. Lectures are given to internal employees of the company to systematically organize their own ideas.

For employees in the research department, this is nothing short of a perk.Including Yawgmoth, most of the scholars are world-class.Even if not, in such an environment, it will be promoted soon.

This is unheard of outside.

If Yawgmoth was willing to go to Qingbei to give a lecture, the entire biology department might crowd over to attend the lecture.

Tao Enhai has been in the company for three weeks, and has encountered this kind of lecture several times.However, he didn't hear much.After leaving his profession, he is as ignorant as ordinary people in other fields.Doing interdisciplinary research does not start with cutting-edge content in other fields.

He still has to spend time laying the groundwork.

Ingrid finished writing the topic and said, "Indeed, come and listen to it if you are interested?"

Although Ms. Ingrid Granat is a linguistics professional, she claims to be a traditional "generation-transformation school", but her research methods are very close to "cognitive science".She also studies the mechanism of language processing in the human brain.Tao Enhai felt that if he did it formally, he would have a good chance of cooperating with this lady.

"This topic..." Tao Enhai glanced at the whiteboard: "I didn't understand the first word."

"Well, the name of an African tribe. A mix of several tribe names...you can read it as 'linguistic research based on a new type of Creole'."

"Creole... oh." Taue Enhai took a while to remember the meaning of this word.

Creole was originally called a "mixed language", but in the field of linguistics, it can also be regarded as "a natural language that mixes several different languages, but has a self-contained grammar and morphology and has someone as a native speaker".

The original Creole language came from the slave trade.The Spaniards forced the aborigines to mine in the Americas.But after the local residents died out, slaves were brought in from Africa.These slaves came from different tribes in Africa and spoke different native languages.They also have difficulty communicating with each other.

In order to communicate with each other, the slaves used the mother tongue of the big guy mixed with the slave owner's language.This mixed language is just a few words, no grammatical rules.However, the descendants of these slaves learned the language as their mother tongue when they heard their fathers speak in this language.

Then, they instinctively completed this language without grammar and morphology, and became an "independent" natural language.

This process often only takes one generation.

The existence of Creole proves that "language" itself is an instinct—like eating, drinking, walking and jumping on the knees, it is an instinct engraved on the flesh.

Although the specific grammar is still passed down, and the language of each nation comes from the long-term accumulation of history, the ability to "speak" and "learn a foreign language" is innate.

Many psycholinguists believe that the birth of "Creole" is evidence of the existence of "Universal Grammar".

"I have a friend who has been doing field research in Africa for a long time." Ingrid said: "The country he visited in the past few years is a small country, but it has been in civil war for a long time. More than ten years ago, the whole world Not so good, you understand...that kind of world crisis spread over there too. That small country fell into a civil war and people killed each other. If it hadn't been for 30 years for countries to strengthen the strength of peacekeeping forces, it would have been another catastrophe. "

"Even with the UN involved, there were still orphans from different tribes...they were gathered by the UN. And in the refugee camps, new languages ​​were born."

"This is really... miraculous." Tao Enhai praised: "I see that the boss is also interested in this topic..."

"Pfft..." Ingrid smiled unkindly.She shook her head: "The probability of that guy coming to this class is very low."

"But he seems to come to your lectures often?"

"Shanta only cares about the hierarchical structure of grammar and the foundation of grammar in the brain. His goal is a set of languages ​​that can run smoothly in the human brain, and can also run smoothly in the computer." Ingrid He patted the whiteboard: "He doesn't care about the origin and evolution of language. He is not a linguist after all. He doesn't even care about the interaction between culture and language..."

Tao Enhai scratched his head: "The boss is so anti-traditional?"

"In his eyes, traditional culture can be roughly divided into ancient Greek-Roman garbage, Mesopotamian garbage, Vedic garbage, pre-Qin garbage, grassland barbarian garbage, other garbage, and the harmful substances produced by the fermentation of these garbage for 2000 years." Inge Lide coughed and imitated Xiang Shan's tone: "'Ah yes, I know that these things were very advanced 3000 years ago. But after a plate of pastries has been stored for 2000 years, would you still dare to eat'——He This is probably the attitude. He only respects statutory holidays, and has no interest in traditional festivals. He is willing to have dinner with his family during the "reunion moment" of your republicans, which also values ​​family rather than tradition. He is such a person."

Ingrid pointed to the whiteboard behind him: "There is a lot of research on cultural and historical backgrounds, and he will ask for a handout at most afterwards."

　Let me tell you one thing in advance.My maternal grandfather will be buried on NO.19 of this month.My maternal grandfather died of illness at home at the beginning of this year, and the ashes were only in the hands of our family not long ago.My family thinks that it is best to be buried back to my hometown, so NO.19 and NO.20 will spend two days in the countryside.We may not be able to guarantee updates at that time, please forgive me.
