Chapter 141: What Professors Teach Beyond Knowledge
At Caimon Comprehensive University, lecture hall 107.
The deconstruction of character is a significant research direction in the Heart Sect.
Ordinary people or sorcerers who have not studied mental knowledge all unavoidably make pre-conceived characterizations of unfamiliar people they just met, also known colloquially as labeling. Rich and gentle, poor and inferior, strong and domineering, weak and tender We distill the most conspicuous characteristics of the other person and incorporate them into our thinking.
Labeling is a very normal mental activity, which can help us quickly find the most reasonable way to interact: be humble in the face of a strong enemy, take a mile when given an inch in the face of the weak. It can even be said that labeling is a necessary survival skill.
But for Spirit Art Masters, this pre-conceived characterization often presents the best opportunity for us to cast our spells. We can influence strangers silently through character deconstruction, generally in two ways.
The first method is the simplest, conforming deconstruction. Generally speaking, after close interaction, people gradually modify their understanding of others, from simple labeling to complex labeling. For example, rich and gentle might become rich, stingy towards others, gentle, but only towards friends, etc. People deconstruct a complex individual into easy-to-understand concepts through limited information.
In conforming deconstruction, the Spirit Art Master, after giving an initial impression, constantly reveals expected characteristics. For example, if I dress up as a rich and funny middle-aged man to chat up someone in a bar, theyll expect me to have a luxury car, and then I indeed pull out a luxury car key; theyll assume I live in the Upper District, and then I inadvertently reveal that I live in Phoenix Garden Then, what do you think the result of my chat-up that night was?
Give the first impression that the other party likes, and continuously reveal details for the other party to automatically fill in the characterization, and you can quickly gain their trust. Because you didnt actually say anything, everything about you was inferred by the other party, they will unconditionally believe in their own judgment.
Many victims of romance scams are fooled by this technique, leading them to believe that love truly exists in this world. Personally, I do not recommend that you use this method, and if you do, dont scam money; having a pleasant evening is enough.
There are many ways to use conforming deconstruction, which I wont elaborate on here. Those interested can purchase my book, 108 Practical Character Templates, available for download on the Canopy.
The second method is the hardest, reverse deconstruction. You dont need to worry about the impression you give to others, you only need to detail the impression others give to you. Simply put, its guiding others to conform to your impression of them through techniques such as spirit, Miracle, rhetoric, etc.
If you think the other person is kind and generous, then in front of you, they become kind and generous. But you cant simply label them, you have to think about why they are kind and why they are generous. Then reinforce this understanding through various details, leading the other person to unconsciously conform to your impression even if they resist conforming to this impression.
This sounds complicated, but if youve read The History of Social Change, you can definitely associate this with an ancient social unit yes, its the Family System that Fernand Snow mentioned last night.
In the Family System, male and female guardians often use this method of reverse deconstruction to shape their children into their impression of a good child. It is said that in ancient times, the easiest way to become a Spirit Art Master was to raise a perfect child.
Here we arent discussing the correctness of Fernand Snows statements, but theres no doubt that deconstruction in reverse will kill a childs individuality, depriving them of their human rights and freedom. This is also one of the reasons why the Family System has been swept into the dustbin of history. But for us, the Spirit Art Masters, reverse deconstruction is our lifelong direction of research and learning.
Powerful Spirit Art Masters are no longer satisfied with deconstructing sentient beings in reverse. Instead, they are reversing the deconstruction of this world The world revolves around me. This is the highest realm for a Spirit Art Master!
Thats it for this lesson, class is over.
As the bell rang signaling the end of class, students hurriedly left, and in a short while, more than half of the classroom was empty.
Adela, who sat next to Freya, slumped softly on the table and sighed, At this rate, when will I be able to summon a spirit to gamble for me? This elective really teaches everything besides knowledge.
Freya, wearing a cool camisole today, nodded in agreement.
Comprehensive universities do not have a Mind Series, or rather, none of the universities in the entire Blood Moon Realm do. At most, there are electives on mind knowledge, like the Mind Analysis course they chose.
The professor talks eloquently above them, but he has never taught how to summon spirits. He keeps repeating interpersonal relationship strategies and tempting everyone to buy his book if Freya hadnt misjudged, the professor even used a suggestion kind of spirit just now, making the students think that his book 108 Practical Character Templates contained the method to summon spirits.
Although the course is of low quality and the professor lacks integrity, the price is not cheap at all. Just for this course, Freyas student loan has risen by a full 5%.
While its true that anyone can find all kinds of knowledge for free in the Canopy, the knowledge that makes money is not only not free, but also has a very high threshold and is strictly confidential.
For example, the field of biology, the 17th century was the century of biology, and biological implanters are currently the highest paid profession. But to learn relevant knowledge, one has only to become an apprentice to a biology professor, and essentially a 10-year employment contract is unavoidable.
The official profession of the Mind Series is only a psychotherapist, but everyone knows that a real Spirit Art Master is either a criminal or a politician (actually, theyre quite similar). They can be described as high-risk, high-reward, so its only natural that the knowledge of the Heart Sect is hard to come by.
If it werent for the fact that Freya is a Bewitcher, and has a high probability of being able to summon a spirit on her own, she would rather spend her tuition money at the Mud Cafe for a few happy days.
Adela said, How about dinner at Salehs tonight?
No money, Freya said lazily, I just went to Frostfall last night.
Ill treat you.
Did you win money?
Hehe, Adela gave a cat-like smirk, I placed a heavy bet on Fernand Snow in the Blood Moon Tribunal last night and made a lot.
How much did you make?
All I can tell you is, if Id lost, I would have had to work in the Tea Cafe for the next few months.
