Chapter 103 Ideas Issues
"I don't know where your hostility towards Americans comes from. Why don't you tell me?" Nick Fury sneered. "I remember you said that when you were born, there were gold, frankincense and myrrh? I thought you were Jesus! Given your identity as a savior, I can hear your opinion."
"Humans do not need a savior, nor do they need any gods." Salomon also looked disdainful, "The essence of superheroes is the worship of gods by ordinary people. This kind of worship is the most fanatical in the United States - in culture, there are Superman, Batman, and in reality, Captain America and Iron Man. Human beings expect superheroes to do what they cannot do, and regard them as idols and worship them, treat them as pillars of the mind, and hope that they can do everything and do miracles like God. In fact, both religion and idol industry are just to fill the gap in the human mind, and the lowest theory is the same. Human mind is so fragile, otherwise why do you think the Supreme Mage block those demons from the earth?
However, sadly, superheroes are also humans, they are not perfect, and their minds are not much different from ordinary people. In this fanatical environment, as long as they make mistakes, they will be infinitely magnified, because what they cannot do is equivalent to the blood shed on them. As long as God will bleed, countless greedy eyes will be stared at it.
I have no doubt about the short-sightedness of politicians and the stupidity of Christians. Have you ever heard the spiral of silence? In this era when public opinion is manipulated by social media, if you spend some money to fuel the fire, this fanatical worship will be transformed into jealousy - 'Why can he, I can't? He is just lucky!', 'It's because he has money, and if I have money, I can do it too!', those who worship superheroes will blame all the worries in their lives on superheroes. The more fanatical the worship was at the beginning, the terrible catharsis in the future.
Does it sound stupid? Do you think it's very short-sighted? This is the inevitable result. This situation is actually the result of the tyranny of most people. Politicians do not need professional skills or learn how to manage the country. They only need votes and political declarations. The more democratic the, the more stupid it is. The United States, as the largest democratic country on the earth, is the stupidest one."
"It sounds like you are very dissatisfied with democracy. I can understand that you live in an authoritarian environment, but I didn't expect you to pursue elitism!" Nick Fury stepped on the accelerator and drove the car to the street. He said with some dissatisfaction, "There is no king or no noble in the United States. Whether the decision is smart or stupid, it is the choice of the people themselves, and the consequences are also borne by the people themselves. At least, in this country, people are equal."
"I don't pursue elitism, Nick Fury, and everyone's equality has always been a false proposition, especially in capitalist countries. Don't tell me that you were not staring at by security guards when shopping in supermarkets. How many times have you ever needed to show your documents to be stopped?" Salomon's expression was even more disdainful, "I think most people in the world are stupid. There is no threshold for voting. It is simply a waste of death to hand over the fate of mankind to a group of idiots. Don't forget how the gangsters involved in the political arena during the Prohibition period, and you'd better tell me that the US president is not the spokesperson of those consortiums, otherwise your statement is not convincing."
"So what do you think the best rule is like?"
"The Supreme Master has abandoned all his feelings. As a selfless ruler, the ultimate ruling class of human beings I envisioned should be like this, but this state is extremely burdened on the human mind and a torture for anyone." Salomon said, "Artificial intelligence is the best choice. Only in that case can everyone realize the value of everyone and truly realize equality for everyone. I think the Kerry Empire is the object of human learning, but we must do better. I call it human intelligence integration."
Nick Fury was silent for a moment, and he suddenly realized a possibility that scared him a little. "Are you..." He stared at Salomon in disbelief, "I didn't expect you to support another ideology, otherwise I would not be able to explain all your thoughts!"
"At least I think that before the integration of human intelligence is completed, that is the next stage of human society." Salomon nodded, saying, "No country in the world is perfect, because countries are the product of irreconcilable class contradictions. Unless humans integrate all the countries on the earth, they cannot enter the next stage. The questions in this are very complicated. The theory I have learned does not give an answer, but I think that before humans cannot colonize outer space and productivity explodes, these are empty talk."
"Look, even you don't have an answer, so don't hate the existing system." Nick Fury looked at Big Ben in the distance. At this time, the sky in London was shining with shimmer, and the clouds were intertwined with warm and lead. It was silent over London. It seemed that it might rain today. He said, "These questions should be left to philosophers. This is not a question you should think about at your age - at least the Soviet Union has disintegrated, proving that the road cannot be done. I'll take you to breakfast, and I know where there is something good."
"You are wrong, Nick Fury, thoughts will not perish." Salomon said, "The United States cannot curb the greed of capitalists, and the proletariat will increase. Sooner or later, what you fear will happen - but it may take a long time. If human society reaches a dead end, I don't mind pushing it behind."

After a long talk, Nick Fury and Salomon made a little open and honest statement, and the hostility of hiding the knife in their smiles was slightly alleviated. Although he was very opposed to some of Salomon's theories, it was also for the sake of human freedom, and a little disagreement could be temporarily put on hold. As the director of SHIELD, Nick Fury was very experienced in jet lag, and Salomon was the same. After a London specialty breakfast (Nick Fury paid), he asked Salomon to send him back to Washington, so Salomon and his car were sent to the top of the Sanqu Wing Building.
As for how to get the car down, it's not something he has to think about.
After doing these things, Salomon planned to return to Beyonita's apartment and spend a good night until the next morning. But Conik Fury stopped him and asked Salomon to stay with him and watch the army's dispatch, because he had ordered the army to rush to the town of Old Bridge to establish a position. After the night was over, he ordered the agents to take Jane Foster and Thor to the positions in the desert of New Mexico, to receive the army's protection, and to evacuate all the residents of Old Bridge to avoid being affected by the upcoming battle. Salomon agreed with his move. In the eyes of the Secret Mage, those ordinary people were not worthy of their lives for the dispute over the Asa God.
Nick Fury also wanted to know what means Loki would use to attack Thor and who would participate in the assassination. He felt that he had no idea about Asgard, so he wanted Salomon to stay by his side and point out the problems in time.
Nick Fury also quietly kept a secret. He instructed Agent Colson to collect samples after the explosion of the alchemy bomb in a place where Salomon could not be seen. In fact, Nick Fury began to look for information about magic after he had contacted Salomon, and alchemy was one of them. But apart from the chemical formulas that are available now, he has never figured out what alchemy magic is. Even the alchemy potions he traded with Salomon were things that the laboratory could not analyze. In the end, because of Tony Stark's physical condition, the remaining samples were very small.
But when he tried to trade with Salomon again, he was simply rejected by the secret mage - because Tony Stark was also the target of Salomon's observation, and his potions had been waiting for Stark for several months. Although he would not have watched Stark die of poisoning, before that, he wanted to know what relieved the symptoms of palladium poisoning.
No matter what it is, it can't be lithium dioxide unless SHIELD wants Tony Stark's life.
"It's your potions, Stark's symptoms have been relieved." Nick Fury closed the office and told Salomon the news. "Agent Romanov directly injected the recovery potion into Stark's body, which was very effective."
"But that was taken oral, and direct injection will definitely cause systemic infection!" Salomon glanced at Nick Fury, "Don't think of lying to me. What is the truth?"
"The fact is that after disinfecting the drug, we found that its physical properties had not changed, so we chose to inject directly. If you ask more, I can only answer, this is a secret." Nick Fury raised his eyebrows and looked a little proud. This was the first time he had defeated Salomon in intelligence, which actually gave him a long-lost sense of accomplishment. You know, since he grew from a low-level agent to the director of the S.H.E.L.D., he rarely experienced this feeling, let alone that he is the director of S.H.E.L.D. This face-to-face intelligence game is almost completed by other agents.
"F*ck you, Nick Fury!" Salomon stared at his eyes dissatisfiedly, and then drank a bottle of potion. This is the secret medicine for refreshing spirits. Salomon would never be stupid enough to relax his vigilance in the territory of S.H.E.L.D., which is both enemies and friends.
"We also handed over the Howard Stark box you want to Tony Stark." Nick Fury looked angry and deliberately spit out bad news one by one. But unexpectedly, Salomon did not express disappointment this time, as if he didn't care about the box. This made Nick Fury a little confused. He didn't know whether the box was important or not to Salomon.
