Chapter 3023: Mercury Notes (20)
And the fundamental problem actually appeared in Jenna's enthusiasm.
If Jenna honestly admitted, "I am using psychoanalysis, and I came to this conclusion by feeling the atmosphere and empathizing with the murderer or the victim," then there wouldn't be so many contradictions.
People would only feel that you have an extra talent. Although they might be envious, after all, everyone has their own strengths, and I am not necessarily weaker than you in the aspects I am good at.
But Jenna felt that she could learn behavioral analysis. She wasn't deliberately making things difficult for Bruce or other classmates, but she really felt that what she said made sense, felt that she analyzed it very well, and didn't realize at all that she was holding a hammer and looking for nails.
For example, the few papers she handed to Bruce, judging from the word count and the detail of the inference, were also among the best in the four classes. Except for the absurd remarks like proof by contradiction throughout the paper, it really had everything.
This is what gives Bruce the biggest headache. Jenna is indeed talking nonsense seriously, but unfortunately, her results are correct. No one can avoid being somewhat result-oriented. Her correct result is a powerful supporter of her inference process.
Once the results match, people will feel that her inference process is also quite reasonable, which leads to many students being corrupted by her, and the phenomenon of nonsense appearing and spreading from person to person.
But Jenna does have the talent for psychoanalysis. There are indeed a few people in the four classes who have a certain talent in this area. Although they can't catch up with Jenna, they are more or less involved.
But the vast majority of people are similar to Bruce. There is no such groove in their brains at all. They don't have the hardware to use psychoanalysis, but they feel that Jenna's way is very cool, so they all start guessing blindly one by one.
And it has formed a trend. The more mysterious the guess, the more it exceeds logic, the more it shows that one has detective talent, like those super-smart great detectives in detective novels.
Bruce was about to vomit blood when reading their papers. It couldn't be said that the logic was clear, and it could also be said that if a cover was printed, it could be sold directly as a fantasy novel.
What made him feel heartbroken was that many good seedlings for behavioral analysis in the class also started to doubt themselves. The inference process appeared hesitant, and even if there was solid evidence, they started to write things like "not excluding other possibilities."
There were even a few who handed in several papers in a row with no progress in inference. Bruce called them to the office for a talk, and they twisted and turned, saying they felt there was evidence that hadn't been found and they needed to check in detail, completely losing the courage to make a judgment.
Bruce was heartbroken and dripping blood, but it wasn't easy to say anything. If you ask people to make a decisive judgment, and they make a mistake, wouldn't that be more discouraging to their self-confidence?
It can only be said that Bruce adopted the apprenticeship system for his adopted sons, which can indeed teach students according to their aptitude, but when conducting large-scale group education, he lacks the perception and guidance ability for group atmosphere. This is also a manifestation of the lack of some psychoanalytic talent.
Reading the atmosphere is actually a very difficult skill. The difficulty lies in the fact that if a person has no ability to read the atmosphere at all, it is easy to be difficult to integrate into the collective, and it is easy to be excluded by the group and mocked as having low EQ.
But if a person's ability to read the atmosphere is too strong, it is easy to care too much about other people's opinions, dare not go against the collective will, leading to the reduction of self-existence, and it is easy to become an object of bullying and being pua.
The balance between feeling the atmosphere and feeling the self is very difficult to grasp. Regardless of over-inclining to either side, it is easy to form psychological problems. Inclining to the former may cause excessive empathy disorder, and inclining to the latter may become NPD, which is narcissistic personality disorder.
And a collective actually has this tendency. Whether everyone is willing to integrate into the collective atmosphere or everyone is willing to maintain the self depends entirely on the guidance of the leader.
Over-inclining to the former will lead to the collective members' thinking becoming rigid, becoming assembly line workers, but the benefit is that they can prohibit orders and prohibitions, and the execution ability is stronger. Over-inclining to the latter will lead to the organization being loose, and the collective work efficiency is worrying, but the benefit is that individuals have more room to play, and it is easier to produce good ideas.
Then theoretically, Bruce should guide the collective to the former as much as possible, because after all, they are training agents, not training artists, and integrating into the collective and improving execution ability are compulsory courses.
But what is relatively cruel is that if you want to guide the atmosphere to be like the former, you must suppress those liberals. To be precise, compress personal room for play as much as possible and level the upper and lower limits of everyone.
But Bruce found it difficult to suppress Jenna's upper limit, because by comparison, psychoanalysis is higher in terms of upper limit, depending entirely on how deep the groove plowed by God is. If it is deep enough, it is about the same as mind reading.
So in terms of personal ability, Bruce has no way to completely suppress Jenna. He is the greatest detective in the world, but unfortunately, the other side has a Gundam.
It is not surprising at all that it will become chaotic if such a thorn is not suppressed in the early stage.
Bruce finally understands why Schiller always wants to make things difficult for himself, because if Schiller hadn't found a way to press him down at the beginning, the class would have been impossible to teach.
Bruce would be like Jenna today. My result is correct, what I say makes sense, then naturally some students will stand on my side and not listen to what the teacher says.
Even if force can be used to maintain classroom discipline, it is only short-term. You can beat them, they only admit that you are relatively strong in fist and foot skills, and they are still unconvinced about your IQ and knowledge.
Especially when teaching a class of geniuses, is it useful to beat them all into submission? Maybe they will mock you in their hearts as a reckless man who only knows how to swing his fists, then the teacher's majesty will be completely gone.
What's more, at that time, Schiller might not necessarily be able to beat this group of Cat Getan students in terms of force. What he could rely on was only wisdom.
What is called "only knowing the parents' kindness after raising children," Bruce now understands why Schiller always wanted to go against himself at that time.
In fact, he had thought about this problem before. Although there were some reasons for the bond between Batman and Joker, it was still the same sentence: all the paths Schiller took were chosen by himself, and he was not forced at all. He chose to do so, which proved that he wanted to do so, and the reason why he wanted to do so, Bruce finally fully understood at this moment.
And Jenna is just an alien, not that kind of famous alien, and there are all kinds of strange students in the class, so she is not very prominent in terms of hardware.
But Bruce Wei En at that time could be considered famous. He didn't have to do anything at all. As long as he appeared in the classroom, he could attract everyone's attention.
If Schiller hadn't pressed him down completely, and then let him do something, then no one would pay attention to the teacher in the classroom, and everyone would look at Wei En.
At that time, if Bruce took the lead in doing something to maintain his playboy persona, then the class would just not be taught, and the classroom would just be changed into a party hall.
So when they first met, Schiller used the simplest way to attract his attention, so that he could create an opportunity for himself to press down this guy who looked like a rebellious disciple and a thorn.
But Bruce missed the best opportunity. When he first met Jenna, he didn't create a good opportunity, didn't arouse enough hostility and curiosity from her, and didn't firmly attract her attention to himself.
He insisted on learning psychoanalysis at the beginning, actually to compete with Schiller, but Jenna is learning behavioral analysis now because she feels she can really learn it, and it has nothing to do with Bruce. She just treats him as an ordinary teacher.
It was impossible to completely suppress in terms of profession, and now it was impossible to suppress in terms of emotion.
Questioning Schiller, understanding Schiller, becoming Schiller, not as good as Schiller.
Of course, the main reason why it was impossible to suppress emotionally might be that Bruce and Jenna are of different genders. If emotional manipulation is carried out, it might cause some unnecessary misunderstandings. Bruce and Selina are having a hot time, and he is not willing to waste his emotions at this time on others.
But Batman doesn't have few times when he hits a headwind. Although this time it was a sky-collapse start, Bruce didn't intend to give up.
He felt he could talk to Jenna.
There are two reasons for making this decision. On one hand, Jenna's psychology is much healthier than his at the beginning. This little girl and her brother should have also experienced some stories, otherwise they wouldn't have drifted to Earth, but overall, her personality is stable, her character is relatively positive and sunny, she has no prejudice against herself, and has a basis for communication.
On the other hand, the environment here is much better than Cat Getan at the beginning. Every member of the Justice League takes good care of the students. Not to mention Clark's great character, even Oliver, who usually looks relatively irritable, and Diana, who speaks straight and straight, are very popular with students.
Although he poked a hornet's nest before, after explanation, everyone understands relatively well. The pressure on both sides in reality is not great, emotions will be more stable, and the efficiency of communication will be higher.
Bruce called Jenna to the office and talked to her very sincerely about this problem, so sincerely that he had admitted that he was indeed not good at psychoanalysis. If Jenna continued like this, it might seriously affect the teaching progress.
And he indicated that if she wanted to improve psychoanalysis, he could introduce Professor Schiller to her, and if she just wanted to learn behavioral analysis, he could also tutor her after class, only asking her not to cause disputes and differences in class again.
Jenna also had a stomach full of bitterness and nowhere to pour. In the past few days, she had also been targeted by many students. Everyone wanted to come over and make the truth clearer through debate. Some were curious, some were unconvinced, which also annoyed her.
The two of them calculated like this, and it wouldn't work if it continued like this. Jenna was indeed much more sensible than Bruce Wei En at the beginning. She immediately expressed that in the future, I will say that my ability to read minds is my innate superpower, and I am only responsible for announcing the answer, not responsible for the derivation process, and I don't believe it can still be argued.
Bruce also returned the favor, letting Jenna be his assistant, and could also share the pressure of lesson preparation and organizing discussions. Jenna could also learn some other knowledge he was good at from Bruce.
Both sides were very satisfied with this result. Bruce originally thought that the matter would be solved satisfactorily like this.
He just wanted to sigh that communication is indeed the best way to solve problems, and he found a paper in the stack of papers handed in that was as accurate and as nonsensical as Jenna's.
What's going on? How can there be a master? Whose subordinate is this???
Bruce looked at the signature at the bottom of this paper—"Lilith Clay."
He called this Miss Lilith to the office, wanting to see if she also had super-strong psychoanalytic talent like Jenna.
As a result, this hot-dressed red-haired girl flicked her long hair and said indifferently, "What psychoanalysis? I haven't heard of it."
"Then how did you know who the murderer of this case was?"
"I can read minds."
