Suddenly, the prince realized what was going on and sang the English version of Happy Birthday.
"You scared me. Keep your voice down, Your Highness. Wasn't that what you asked me to sing just now?"
"Hush, Ji Nianqin seems to be studying in there. Listen."
"Being cultured is actually quite exhausting. Culture imparts a different worldview, a different perspective and mindset on issues. It makes people prone to reasoning and stubbornly sticking to their own opinions. Cultured people can achieve great things, but rarely accomplish great things. From ancient times to the present, the fate of cultured people is clear. For example, who is more cultured, Zhu Yuanzhang or Zhang Zuolin? If you are cultured, don't talk or reason with people you consider uncultured or who don't understand your culture. You won't understand the logic of uncultured people, and you'll never win and will only feel frustrated. Therefore, solitude is culture's best friend."
"I feel like you're exaggerating a bit. If the person you're chatting with is truly uneducated, you could just smile and walk away. You have nothing in common, so why bother talking anymore? But from what you described, you were chatting with a few college students, and it seems to me that the topic had nothing to do with literacy, but rather different perspectives and concepts on things. Many scientists even attack each other. So, why bother? Also, you said that the unborn child is not a legal person. So, I'd like to ask you, why does the unborn child have inheritance rights?"
"Prince, do you think Ji Nianqin is talking to herself?"
"After reading the description, I thought of a phrase: 'playing the lute to a cow.' Which of these two sentences do you think is stupider, the cow or the person? I think it's mainly the person playing the lute who's too stupid. It's a fact that the cow doesn't understand the lute, yet they still insist on playing it. Isn't that ridiculous? The knowledge you're asking about is highly professional and in your area of expertise. Constantly testing others with what you already know is extremely unwise and reflects a lack of cultural cultivation. Knowledge is boundless, and everyone has things they know well. Everyone also has more things they don't understand. A college student only learns the basics of various subjects, not too deep into the subject. Moreover, everyone's exposure to a very limited number of subjects makes it natural that they don't understand a lot. This is a very normal phenomenon."
"Prince, what happened to Ji Nianqin? Is she talking to someone, or isn't she talking to anyone?"
"A person's energy and abilities are extremely limited, and the knowledge they possess is even more limited. Therefore, when conversing with others, you can't just do whatever you want. You must seek out topics that resonate with the other person, otherwise you will be ridiculed and mocked. As for whether you are cultured or not, don't take it too seriously. Nowadays, when things don't go your way, people will call you uncultured or ignorant. This has become a habitual colloquialism, without much meaning. If you take it seriously and insist on getting stuck in that dead end, you'll suffer greatly. Sometimes it's better to play dumb; sometimes, being muddle-headed is also rare!"
"You're not from the same class, so there's no need to argue with him. Just laugh it off. He can only see a tiny bit, but he firmly believes he's seen the whole world and understands how the world works. There's no need for you to subvert his understanding."
"Ji Nianqin, what's wrong with you? Ji Nianqin!! Who are you talking to?"
