The clown in The dark knight is actually the ultimate of elitism, that is to say, the clown is a great sage who can see through everything, but unlike the past, he fell to the dark side, and in his opinion, where is it leading? Neither side is important. It is important to promote your elitist spirit, complete your own great social humanity experiment, and prove his point: madness is just like gravity. He believes that the various orderly systems established by human beings relying on their so-called rationality are themselves a big joke. As long as he easily touches the inherent madness of human nature and arouses him, the system can immediately collapse and disintegrate. A person who believes in so-called justice can suddenly turn into a person who believes in violence and destruction when being pushed to the cliff of human nature, just like a harvey dent.
Batman believes that any evil is due to greed. His old housekeeper said that someone just wants to watch the world burnt. In fact, the clown doesn’t just want to see the world burnt to ashes, he wants Practice your own philosophy and let stupid human beings understand that chaos is the essence and the destination. This is the principle of entropy increase in sociology. He is an extremely intelligent person, and such vulgar and superficial words as justice and evil are not enough to describe him. He is an extreme elite. Human beings are constantly improving the social system to achieve the so-called fairness. The clown said that chaos is the essence of fairness. In the chaos, the death of the mayor and the civilians is the same thing. In the chaos, there is no such thing as the sacrifice who will save the other. The ugly facts are the most deafening! On the one hand, human beings are trying to use rationality to complete the construction of the system and achieve an ideal supply and demand relationship between people. The method given by the clown is a simple shortcut to break him. He can always push some system loopholes to the extreme and ask people the question of paradox. For example, you can only choose to die one or die a group (dead the accountant or blow up a hospital.); for example, either Batman will announce his identity, or someone will die every day. Or to protect a so-called harvey dent, can a group of people die? These multiple-choice questions, which seem to be the same as choosing cheap food, are actually not that easy. Killing a person for a group of people is still killing. Why is this not a crime? Why is this not an evil behavior? This simple calculation problem is so bloody. What the clown shows to you is a so-called beautiful ideal to protect everyone's precious life, and the terrible truth behind it.
The reason why the clown is worshipped by so many people is that what he said is just like the great monk, and he even said: If you are good at something, never do it for free. They are all classic sayings of success. He said: This town deserves a better class of criminal. He is indeed also the greatest crime philosopher. He shows you what distinguishes the elegant crimes from other crimes of the three secular levels, that is, playing with everyone and applauding. The weapon he holds in his hand is actually very simple. Human nature, use the principles that you humans set up for yourself to hit yourself. Adam Smith's so-called invisible hand is actually human nature. Yes, Adam Smith believes that human nature organizes the social structure and the circulation of wealth, and the clown believes that human nature can easily break him. There is no right or wrong in desire, right or wrong is always just a subjective endowment of man. The clown saw through these, and rationally saw through them. He didn't care about money, a meaningless currency, and easily burned the bills piled up into a mountain without even taking a look (the most spectacular scene in the history of crime films! The scene of Brother Ma burning a banknote and lighting a cigarette is more pediatric than this one). He has no desire for petty love, he is just naughty, he just wants to play the biggest prank in history.
Batman is just an elite of the bright side. His unparalleled ability suppressed all criminals and gangs in the city of Gotham. But it is precisely because of batman's incomparable brilliance that the dark side needs to give birth to an absolute elite who fights against him, that is, the clown. Without batman, there would be no clown. Without batman, people would not lead to a gangster who looks so mad, doesn't need money, doesn't need a woman, and only loves to destroy the neurotic, a demon that even criminals are afraid of. The clown said to batman, you complete me! If you have your batman, there will be me a clown. I can't live without you, just like men and women like yin and yang. You use your superhuman wisdom and ability to swear to clean this inherently dirty society. I tell you, it is actually more convenient to destroy it. In fact, we are the same people by different paths. Justice and evil are not enough to describe you and me. The people you protect, the people I kill, in fact, you and I just treat them as mortals, you don't bother to kill them, and I just don't bother to let them live. You don't believe that the system can eliminate criminals, and I don't believe that this system can really make human beings live in peace. You are a superhero but also the biggest villain. You are also a marginal person who goes beyond the scope of the legal system and executes lynching, just like me. Don't think that you think justice is justice. No one can define it clearly, because justice and evil are the same, and neither of these two imaginary concepts has any essential meaning. Who told you that it is justice for a merchant to buy something for a customer and earn extra profit? What is the difference between corruption and corruption? Who told you that the killing by the national army under the banner of freedom is justice? What is the difference between a person seeking revenge and killing someone?
Are you dizzy? Don't think about it, this world is a simple crap.
You can't overthrow the clown's worldview, because it is an essence. A cruel reason deduces the essence.
