The Golden Mean

The discussion of good and evil must be based on the existence of state institutions and state entities.
"Democracy," "science," and "philosophy" all belong to the superstructure. What kind of superstructure should be built on a desert island lacking a basic economic foundation? It is the last word to explore how to survive. This is what Jack did. Right, primitive humans rely on hunting for their livelihoods, not picking wild fruits.
On a deserted island without the protection of the state machinery, control of military power can lead to leadership. Ralph doesn’t understand this. He is not interested in weapons. People with fragile feelings are not suitable to be leaders. When he realizes that he has lost control, he still has to stick to the unconvincing symbol of "conch", which is extremely stupid.
Ralph’s IQ determined his failure. When he was convinced and all the boys were convinced that this was a desert island, why did he fear the spread of the fire when he lit the first bonfire? What was terrifying when the entire desert island was lit , The helicopter should have discovered them long ago, so why bother to wait until the ending Jack ignites the desert island helicopter.
The rule of survival in the wild is to maintain the doctrine of the mean and make the rudder by the wind. The broken mouth of Spectacle Pig must be squeezed everywhere, and the crow mouth will only kill him.
Simon damned, died of his stubbornness, died of his self-righteousness, no matter whether the beast exists or where it exists, he should not go to the cave alone to find out. If Simon was not killed by his companion in the end, he would also be hunted by the beast. Food. In a barren land where civilization is lacking in primitive forms, if you want to be maverick, you have to find your own way.
The captain, the captain without a sense of team running around. Abandon his companions, distrust his companions, he deserves to die, fighting alone, he will die no matter how far he runs, not to mention that he ran away at night and his brain was flooded.
Humans’ fear of beasts stems from the instinctive reaction of life. It is a collective consciousness, not a deviation in the cognition of things. Even if there is a deviation, we should face it together and should not live alone in order to find a correct solution. This is a matter of time and has nothing to do with conscience.
Jack, who has a firm grasp of leadership, invented punishment. This is his social attribute. On a desert island where currency and currency equivalents have not yet appeared, it is impossible to achieve equivalent exchange, and bargaining is not required. Therefore, Jack can only plunder and plunder the knife. , Looting and making firearms (glasses)
Hunting games are just human entertainment. They can’t watch TV or surf the Internet, they can only play games.

    This choice is difficult. The authoritarian groups on deserted islands that violently plunder resources and the seemingly civilized groups are actually incompetent. Putting it on a group of children is very profound.

    The officer asked: What are you doing? (The implication: how can civilization fall to this point)
