There is a flock of turkeys living on a farm.


Every morning at 11 o'clock, the farmer comes to feed them.
So the "scientist" among the turkeys begins to observe, record, and conclude:
Every morning at 11 o'clock, food will arrive.
This is a fundamental law of the universe.
It observed for many days, many months, and the data perfectly matched. So it confidently announced to all the turkeys:
I have discovered the truth of the universe: every morning at 11 o'clock, food must appear.
As a result, the day before Thanksgiving, 11 o'clock arrived.
The farmer came.
But this time, he was not here to feed them, but to catch the turkeys for slaughter.
So this "scientific law" collapsed.
Kneeling for a long time, it even forgot how to straighten its back.
Chinese people must have integrity.
Chinese men must have integrity.
Chinese women must have even more integrity.
The turkey thought it had discovered a natural law, but in fact, it was just living within the system set up by the farmer.
To the turkey, the farmer is a higher-dimensional being.
The turkey's science can only be based on the limited phenomena it can observe.
But it doesn't know that what truly determines its fate is not the rule "food appears at 11 o'clock every day," but the farmer's will.
The turkey's biggest problem is not that it is fed.
But that it takes past feedings as proof of safety for the future.
