One, the United Nations is secretive, and this person took advantage.
In the 1960s, the arms race between the two superpowers, the United States and the Soviet Union, became more and more fierce, and the battlefields for them even moved beyond the earth to "show their muscles" in outer space, and the relations between the two countries continued to be tense.
The United Nations hopes to ease this tension by formulating relevant agreements, so as to safeguard the common rights and interests of all mankind. In this context, the Outer Space Treaty came into being and came into force on June 1967+ 10/0.
When the United Nations made this document, it was a secret. Although the Outer Space Treaty stipulates that no country can claim to own any planets or stars, the document does not explain whether individuals have the right to own planets or stars.
This means that any individual has the right to apply for the ownership of the sun and ask all mankind to pay the use fee. The above idea seems absurd and boring, but one person has taken practical action on it.
Spanish woman Angelas Duran is a "boring person". She lives in Bulgaria and is 49 years old. She is an avid collector of celestial bodies. Many planets and stars are registered in her name.
2065438+In July 2007, she launched the action of becoming the "Lord of the Sun". For this reason, she ran around and read a lot of materials and documents. In an interview with reporters, she confidently said: "There is no problem at all. My opinion is in line with relevant laws. I am not a stupid person. I know the law. Anyone can do this. I just took the lead. "
When the United Nations tried Duran's application, there was no reason to refuse it because of the lack of relevant documents. In desperation, it passed her application and issued a certificate for her, announcing that Duran was the owner of the sun.
Second, "the dumb eat the coptis", and the United Nations screwed up this time.
After the United Nations recognized Duran as the master of the sun, it thought that the "farce" could end there. But who ever thought that Duran did not stop there, but announced to the society that he asked the United Nations to pay the "sunshine fee" for all mankind.
As the "first owner" of the sun, Duran claimed to levy a "sunshine fee" on all mankind. Moreover, half of this income should be donated to your own country, and the government can freely control it, and part of it will be used as a public retirement annuity. In addition, this income is also used for their own research and mitigation of global environmental problems.
This method proposed by her can achieve two purposes. It can not only increase national income, but also help solve environmental problems. Why not? When this statement comes out, it can be said that "a stone stirs up a thousand waves", and netizens have denounced it, and all kinds of complaints and complaints are endless.
Some netizens asked: She herself has never maintained the sun in any form. Why does she charge money? Some netizens also ridiculed: If this can also be passed by the United Nations, can I claim sovereignty over the entire galaxy and make a fortune from now on? Some netizens even said angrily: I have skin cancer, and now I know who to look for. I want to sue Duran, ask her for compensation, and find a class action lawsuit against my skin cancer patients.
Even Al Gore, the former vice president of the United States far across the Atlantic, joined the "discussion group", arguing that Duran, as the owner of the sun, is naturally responsible for the seriousness of global warming.
To this end, Gore also held a special press conference, at which he told reporters that he himself was considering suing the Spanish government. As the owner of the sun, Spanish Duran began to collect solar energy use fees from all mankind, and the Spanish government could not easily get the money.
Some reporters also pointed out that global warming is caused by the activities of all mankind, and the sun cannot be blamed. Gore replied, "In the past, the sun had no owner, so we couldn't find the person in charge. It's different now. The sun already has a master, so we should be able to solve this problem. "
With the intensification of public opinion, people began to turn their attention to the initiator of the incident. During this period, the United Nations remained silent and never gave any explanation.
Finally, the United Nations couldn't stand it. It simply compensated Duran for $500,000 and declared the previous certificate invalid. Duran also accepted it as soon as possible, and after receiving the compensation, he never embarrassed the United Nations again. On this own goal, the United Nations really responded to the old saying of China, that is, the dumb eat coptis root, and there is no place to complain if there is pain.
Third, be bold and cautious about fame and fortune, and be cautious and safe.
Although the farce ended here, Duran became famous in one fell swoop and became a social celebrity. Reporters from all sides found her for an interview. Since then, Duran has often appeared in the public eye and once became an "active figure".
The United Nations, however, was not so lucky, and began to learn from this incident and seriously reflect on it. In the process of formulating every agreement since then, the United Nations has become very cautious, fearing further mistakes and being exploited by others.
Duran is not the only example of similar farce. 1980, American Dennis Hope first announced that he owned the moon. The theoretical basis of his behavior is actually the Outer Space Treaty previously formulated by the United Nations.
His application was also approved by the state at that time, and he himself set up the "Moon Embassy" as the president. Since then, like Duran, he has become famous and attracted 2.3 million customers. The most surprising thing is that President Reagan's name is impressive, including many Hollywood stars.
It can be seen that people who are bold and cautious are often more insightful, can observe the places foreseen by ordinary people, and bring huge benefits to themselves on this basis. Duran and Hope are good examples.
The experience of the United Nations also deserves careful reflection. As an influential institution, it was thoughtless in formulating relevant treaties, failed to remedy problems in time, and allowed the situation to develop, never causing greater disasters.
This is similar to everyone's daily interpersonal communication. Everyone knows that disaster comes from the mouth. However, sometimes, some people will talk casually without thinking, and eventually bring disaster and trouble to themselves. In fact, only if you are bold and cautious can you get ahead and make a profit. Only with caution can you keep your life safe!
