Short novel Why doesn’t the university have a philosophy department
Zhang Xiaoxiong
Lao Li drove to a neighborhood next door to visit his grandson. He was familiar with this community because he had to go in and out twice a week before, and most of the doormen were familiar with it.
This day was different. The guard on duty did not let him go with a smile like before, but had a solemn look on his face.
took out his mobile phone and scanned the venue code. This is a basic action that Lao Li has become familiar with in recent days. The mobile phone screen shows a green code, and the 24-hour nucleic acid test is negative.
The guard carefully looked at the words 24 hours displayed on the mobile phone, held his head high and said to Lao Li: "24 hours is not enough, it must be 48 hours." He looked like he was impartial and impartial in enforcing the law.
Lao Li explained: "24 hours is within 48 hours, it is a green code."
The guard still said calmly: "The superiors stipulate 48 hours, and I will follow this rule, even if you are 12 hours, two hours You are not allowed to enter after hours."
Lao Li was speechless and had to ask: "Have you ever studied elementary school mathematics? 48 is composed of two 24s."
The guard answered the question nonstop. : "I am majoring in philosophy, and I take self-study exams through correspondence courses in college. You asked me what I am doing in mathematics? You want to test me on what is one-third plus two-fifths equal to three-eighths? Isn't it three-eighths? It's the same as 48 hours. What's the matter? The superior told me that 48 is an absolute number for , and your 24 is a relative number. In special times, I can't be careless. "
Lao Li is angry, but he doesn't know where to go. I happened to see my grandson coming back from school, so he said to him: "You explain to him that my 24-hour negative test falls within the 48-hour range, but he doesn't listen to what I say."
The grandson said: "Grandpa, stop talking. Yesterday I listened to them He said that their mathematics was taught by a philosophy teacher. A simple fraction question was made very complicated by the teacher. "Grandpa
suddenly realized, no wonder why there are basically no philosophy departments in universities nowadays.
