Is stool nutritious?

Speaking of shit, there may be many people who think that shit has nothing to talk about, so it is better to talk about it yourself. In fact, people who hold this idea are all wet-at least from a pragmatic point of view. Because in rural areas, especially in poor and backward rural areas in the west, shit is actually a great good thing, because it can be used as fertilizer to fertilize several crops, thus increasing farmers' harvest-although this benefit is very small, it can make 120% city people sneer at it! The author grew up in the countryside and his family was extremely poor. When I was a child, I had the experience of picking up a shovel and carrying a bamboo basket to pick up excrement and go home as fertilizer. I also have the memory of almost fighting with someone for a piece of shit. Perhaps it is for this reason that the author has always attached great importance to shit and never dared to treat it as worthless. It is also for this reason that the author wants to write such a short article on the topic of shit.

Contrary to many people's view that the existence of shit can only add garbage to the world without any practical value, the author thinks that shit actually has its existence value. Specifically, it is mainly reflected in the following aspects:

First of all, as mentioned above, shit can be used as fertilizer to fatten several crops, which is its economic value. Of course, this value has different meanings for different people. For farmers who are eager to pick up excrement as fertilizer, it may mean joy, even dancing; For people who live in big cities all day and don't eat farm fireworks, it may mean that they are too sick to avoid.

Secondly, shit has its legal value. It can stimulate the legal theorists to think about the following three questions (even more): First, in the case that many farmers are eager to collect excrement as fertilizer and the amount of excrement is limited, what kind of system should the law set up to make these excrement get fair and reasonable distribution? Secondly, in a city that doesn't need shit or even treats shit as garbage, how should the law prevent or reduce the occurrence of shit to purify the living environment of urban people and avoid bringing inconvenience to people's lives? Third, who owns shit? Who has the right to deal with shit or take responsibility for the losses caused by shit to others? Of course, this problem has actually been solved by the current General Principles of Civil Law in China, and it seems that there is no need to reconsider it (however, this just confirms the legal value of the existence of shit).

In addition, shit has its ethical and philosophical value, so I won't analyze it one by one. Because the author's purpose is to prove that the existence of shit is really valuable, and the analysis of the economic value and legal value of shit is enough to prove this conclusion, so there is no need to waste your breath.

To sum up, it is not difficult for us to draw the conclusion that the existence of anything is hardly worthless, but many times, because of our selfishness or paranoia, we ignore or deny its value. Because of this, whenever we use shit, we will shout loudly: "Shit is so good", and when we no longer need shit, we will point to it and call it garbage. In fact, many times, the real garbage is not shit, but our mentality! From this, the author thought of academic research.

Since I set foot in the field of academic research, I have written and published a large number of papers and articles. Among them, a phenomenon that puzzles many scholars and even editors is that in my papers or articles, I rarely cite the achievements of particularly famous scholars. On the contrary, I cite more achievements that many people think may be rubbish. However, it is these so-called "garbage achievements" that have made the author to a great extent, and also enabled the author to find many treasures from the "garbage"-although these "treasures" may be disdainful to many people who are determined to become a big school. Therefore, the author believes that both excrement and "junk fruit" actually have their own value, but the subject of this value is not necessarily everyone.

Having said that, I have to talk about Park Chin's post, which reads as follows:

Two graduate students in economics are walking. One person found a pile of shit, so he made a bet with another person that if he ate the shit, he would pay him 1 10,000 dollars. After calculation, the man still made a lot of money, such as the cost of getting rid of unpleasant taste or going to the hospital for treatment, so he ate the pile of shit and got $6.5438+0 million. Along the way, the student who paid $654.38+00000000 became more and more aggrieved. He felt that he had eaten a pile of dog shit and got $ 654.38+000000000 for nothing. It was too easy. So, if he eats a pile of shit, can he get $654.38+$00,000? On second thought, anyway, the 6.5438+0 million yuan is not his own, so let him taste the shit and agree. So he also ate a pile of shit and earned back $6.5438+0 million. On the way back, the more they thought about it, the more unhappy they became. Nothing happened, but they both ate a lot of shit and cried. They went to consult their tutor. What is the significance of this in economics? After listening, the tutor said happily, "Congratulations, you have contributed 2 million dollars of GDP to the country." So these two laughed through tears. Don't think it's just a joke, there are plenty of such bullshit economists as China. In fact, in our legal field, such papers, works and speeches abound, don't they? Be alert! ! !

Park Chin's criticism of shit economists and shit jurists is worth pondering. On the other hand, the author thinks that the problem reflected by this example seems to be not limited to the problem of shit economists, but also has a deeper meaning, that is, it actually reflects the problem that many people in domestic academic circles do not know how to cherish and use academic resources, just as those two graduate students do not know how to use shit to realize their real value. In fact, no matter in the field of economics or law, there are such a group of researchers who fool around in the name of scholars. They occupy rich academic resources but do nothing all day, so that when they are full and have nothing to do, they eat excrement that should be used to raise crops as food and put the food that should be used as decorations! This is actually the most serious waste of resources! The author thinks that we should really be alert to this kind of behavior!

Conclusion: When shit meets people worse than shit, its fate may be eaten by these people, thus losing its true value of existence, becoming worthless and even becoming the object of criticism by many so-called just people. However, when shit meets a farmer who is good at turning expenses into treasure, its fate is completely different. After all, farmers all know that the value of shit lies in throwing it into the ground as fertilizer to fatten two corns, not eating them. Therefore, the value of shit is maximized in the hands of farmers! Visible, the same thing in the eyes of different people, its value and fate may be completely different; By the same token, the same academic achievements may have completely different values and fates in the eyes of different scholars; The reason why there is such a result is that the fault lies not in shit or academic achievements like shit at all, but in people.
