Chapter 9 9. Micro Thought

Thought: The answer to life is never on the books, no matter how important the proverbs in the books are, but if you lack this essential thinking process, these philosophical thoughts on life have nothing to do with you. Thought: Liang Qichao and Jiang Baili once traveled together in Europe and traveled all over Europe.Then Liang Qichao wrote the "European Traveling Heart Video Record", which strongly proves that European civilization has come to an end, and science is unreliable.Jiang Baili wrote a "History of the European Renaissance", praising European democracy and science, and believed that this was the highest achievement of human civilization-the two had the same experience and came to completely opposite conclusions. It's just that huge.

Einstein's will: When I die, I will be left alone except for a few closest friends.No cemeteries, no monuments, no religious ceremonies and no official ceremonies.The ashes are scattered in the air and integrated with human beings and the universe.The place where I live must not be turned into a memorial for people to pilgrimage to.My office is for others to use.Everything about me will die with me, except my scientific and social ideals. Message: In ancient Persia, the rebels passed the message in this way. They shaved a person's hair, wrote the message on the scalp, and let the messenger set off when the hair grew back.In this way, since the messenger has no words on his body, it is difficult to be intercepted. When he arrives at the place, the messenger shaves his head, so people can see the blocked news... The most valuable information is the thoughts in your mind, It cannot be blocked.

Conquer: When Voltaire was famous in Europe in his later years, a beautiful girl was bewitched by her talent, she was willing to be his maid, and kissed him in public.Facing the jealous eyes of the public, Voltaire faltered and said: Well, this is life kissing death - if you have ideas, the whole world will love you; if you have power and money, others will only fear you. Thought: Aristotle said something along the lines of: the formation and revival of thought requires three objective conditions: one is the interest of the researcher, the other is a relaxed social environment, and the third is a well-off life—here is Freedom, freedom of thought and freedom of economy.Only in a free atmosphere can the wisdom of the group explode, create strong ships and cannons, and expand your living space and influence. This is a universally applicable cultural view.

Thomas Carlyle: It is not death that makes a man miserable, but living wretchedly without knowing why; it is working sorely and without gain; it is bitterness and weariness, yet being alone and wrapped up in the cold general laissez-faire In the middle; is a whole life slowly dying, imprisoned in a kind of unheard, boundless injustice... God, the person who said this is more than two hundred years away from us. Citizenship: 1. Self-responsibility. 2. Respect the rights of others, and do not impose your own ideas or ideas on others. 3. Only authorize specific things to others, and do not recognize that a certain person or a certain group entrusts all your rights. 4. Make concessions when necessary, but never open your eyes to violence and evil...Dignity and dignity cannot be expected from others. Only an independent personality can have independent dignity and decency.

There are four kinds of thinking: the first is rational thinking, which focuses on fair social rules when considering issues, the strong can benefit, and the weak have opportunities.The second is to consider the interests, do it if it is beneficial, and avoid it if it is not beneficial. This is called mature thinking, and there is nothing wrong with it.The third is to use likes and dislikes as the standard, do what you like, and be lazy if you don’t like giving money, which is naive thinking.The fourth type is to consider the interests of others, at the expense of deteriorating one's own living environment, which is slave thinking.

Understand: We often say: understand... But this understanding is divided into four levels.Level 1: Know what happened.The second layer: know what happened, and know the impact and consequences.The third layer: know the impact and consequences of things, and also know how things will change and develop once you intervene.The fourth level: know the trend, enter in accordance with the times, and lead the situation to develop in a direction that is beneficial to you... Do you understand, which level is it? Thought: The total amount of knowledge of junior high school students should not be more than that of Confucius, not to mention junior high school students, even a professor who has one-tenth of Confucius can be famous all over the world.Knowledge is not a book you read, it is derived from your thoughts, without thoughts, knowledge is just water without a source and a tree without roots.

Principles of rationality: 1. When discussing a problem, first clarify the topic. If the topic is not clear, quarrels will become noisy. 2. Clearly define the topic. You can disagree with my definition, but you cannot replace mine with your definition. Different definitions lead to different conclusions. 3. The definition of the theme is mainly to clarify the extension and connotation. 4. Do not use analogies or examples, because examples will change the denotation and connotation of the problem, leading to unreliable conclusions. Cognitive system: One is instinctive thinking, knowing lust and Mu Shaoai, purely lust-oriented.The second is natural thinking, which is also called straight-line thinking.The third is environmental cognition, which is extremely sensitive to crowd gathering.Chinese people who love to watch the excitement stay at this stage of thinking.The fourth is the cognition of cause and effect. People with unclear logic often fall back on cause and effect.The fifth is intellectual thinking, which is able to think abstractly about problems. At this point, it is real thinking.

Patriotism: It is often said that patriotism is the minimum morality of a citizen, and it is also a fine tradition of the Chinese nation.Obviously, both morality and tradition are mandatory, no bargaining is allowed, and there is no choice.In the United States, a child wrote to former President Ronald Reagan and said: He loves America, because there are more than two hundred kinds of ice cream in the United States-there is no compulsory love in the world, unless it is a free choice, with good expectations, there will be real love Love. Bad game: There is a kind of social game called Siliang Diaoqianjin.The method is to pick an unlucky storyteller, belittle it, squeeze it, drive it crazy, and then block it abruptly in the name of vulgarity. At this time, public opinion will divide. Some people support the ban, while others peel off the skin of those who support it. It is found that those who support the ban are even more vulgar, so the ban has formed a chain reaction. In the end, you will find that everyone has been banned...

Struggle: The philosophy of struggle encourages the struggle between people. Its theory is based on the sociological classification of class, and it solidifies the dynamic society, conceptualizes specific people, denies that people are concrete, and denies that people of the same class are There is a difference—most importantly, class is nothing more than an economic attribute, which the philosophy of struggle confuses for a moral attribute.Once you confuse economic attributes with moral attributes, the desire to fight arises. We often think that crowds are always smarter than individuals, but in fact, this is never the case.When individuals gather into a group, there will never be such a thing as brainstorming. On the contrary, the superposition of the group can only increase their stupidity, but their intelligence will be greatly reduced.Compared with individuals, groups do not have the slightest intellectual advantage! ——Pang Le: "The Crowd"

Freedom: Citizens cannot be enslaved, because enslavement is first of all the enslavement of the soul. Once you give up your responsibilities and rights and place your hopes on others, you will embark on the road to enslavement.The enslaved can only obey and worship, but cannot establish an independent personality.Only when there is a sense of responsibility in the heart and a high sense of responsibility for one's own life, only then will people be free.Freedom of mind, based on a culture of equality, has the characteristic of restraining power. Slavery: Slavery education has 4 steps: 1. Strict control, emphasizing absolute obedience to authority. 2. Things or ideas not mentioned by authority are forbidden and dangerous. 3. Never allow the slightest hostility to authority. 4. Absolute obedience will receive care and rewards.After these four steps, an obvious servile personality will be formed, with special emphasis on power, status and domination, and ready to cater to any form of authority.

Slavery: You are obviously the ruled, but subconsciously imitate the thinking of the ruler, imagining "I am the country, I am the nation, and I am the people".They divide people into two categories, those who should bow down and those who should bow down to themselves. For the former, they behave in awe and respect.For the latter, they show the desire to control everything, demanding that the other party surrender unconditionally to him, otherwise they will use whatever means to hurt the other party. Slavery culture: Slavery is not terrible, what is terrible is slavish culture.Once the culture of slavery becomes popular, people's freedom, rights and dignity become the target of public criticism.Slavery forms a culture, which has its fixed characteristics, mainly manifested in: the philosophy of winners and losers, the thinking of violence worship (or power worship), regarding strength as right and wrong, success or failure to determine good and evil, supplemented by unscrupulous means against others Attacking... boils down to thinking back to the age of apes. Good and Evil: Some people believe in inherent goodness, while others believe in inherent evil.People who believe in goodness will eventually get a great good person. Any questioning and opposition to this great goodness is a manifestation of evil, which has led to them no longer having any power except Shanhu Long live.People who believe that human nature is evil must learn to restrain their own and others' evil, and by limiting evil, they can obtain a relatively ideal living space. Machiavelli: It is certainly a fairly natural and common state of mind to want more; when people succeed in this they are always praised rather than condemned.However, when people lack the ability to do so at all costs, they commit a reprehensible error... This sentence means: With great power comes great responsibility.Your ability depends on how much social responsibility you can take. The difference between religion and superstition: Religion is introverted, examining the desire of one's own soul.Superstition is extroversion, I am a good person, and there are monsters outside who want to eat me.A rational country will form a culture of self-examination under the guidance of the intellectual class.And tyrannical countries refuse to examine themselves, claiming that they are always right, so they are committed to promoting superstitious culture.In the latter, too, science degenerates into superstition, and you'll often hear them say, to believe in science... The Bible: Adam and Eve ate the forbidden fruit and were expelled from the Garden of Eden. They just ate a piece of fruit. Why are they so angry?In fact, this means that they have a sense of right and wrong and good and evil.Before there is no discrimination, everything is natural.But when good and evil appear, people will pursue good and attack evil. At this time, the pain of the soul will arise-when people replace God to judge the world, it means the self-exile of the soul. Class: Class is originally an economic attribute, not a moral attribute.Wealth is not a sin, and poverty is not unreasonable, but when someone deliberately blurs the boundaries between the two, disasters happen—some people’s IQs plummet and they simply attribute benign morality to one Class, vicious morality is attributed to another class, and right and wrong are confused like this. When Sima Qian wrote "Historical Records", he was thrown into prison and sentenced to corruption for expressing his personal views on current affairs, and was released three years later.The government wanted to find the book he wrote and destroy it, but they couldn't find it. It turned out that the book was hidden by his daughter.Many years later, Yang Yun, the grandson of Sima Qian, published this book to the world.History is the most suitable genre to carry thoughts, and it is the easiest to activate thoughts.Communicators paid a terrible price to let the people get the weapons of freedom. In 1955, Sanlian Publishing published eight volumes of "Compilation of Essays Criticizing Hu Shi's Thought", with more than 2 million words.Hu Shi claimed that he was the only one who had read this set of books.Tang Degang asked: Is there no knowledge and truth in it?Hu A: Without academic freedom, where can we talk about learning?The following year, an old friend Chen Yuan invited Hu Shi from mainland China and wrote to him, saying that the Great Criticism is about your thinking, not about you personally.Hu Shi's commentary: What is "I" besides thought? Hu Shi's Epitaph: This is the tomb of Mr. Hu Shi, who was born in the 21st year of the "Republic of China" and died in the 51st year of the "Republic of China".This man who worked so hard for academic and cultural progress, for freedom of thought and speech, for the honor of the nation, and for the happiness of mankind, to the point of death, rests here now!We believe that the body will eventually disappear, and the mausoleum will change, but the light given to the world by the philosopher in the tomb will always exist. Talk about autocracy.Despotism hates ideas most and loves technology most.Qin Shihuang burned all the scriptures, leaving only the farming and planting books, and called on the masses to study hard.But in the end, the masses learned that Nong Zhi's book was lost, and the scriptures hated by the tyrant have been passed down to this day.Why?This is because technology comes from thought, and if thought is cut off, technology becomes a tree without roots and must die.Authoritarian countries are very eager to make a breakthrough in technology, but in the end there is no way. Tell a story about the ancient Greek philosopher Anaxagoras.This philosopher is so terrifying that he sits in front of his little shack and logically deduces that the sun is a ball of fire and the moon is a cold stone.You know, his research doesn't have any tools, it's purely brain-based.While he was studying the sun, a patriotic young man came to make trouble and asked him: Why don't you care about your motherland?He replied: Lao Tzu's way of doing things is true patriotism. Looking at Hayek during this period, Lao Ha believes that the life of thought is based on the interaction between individuals with different knowledge and different opinions. The result of this interaction is uncertain, cannot be predicted and cannot be planned in advance.Therefore, in any country where thinking is not restricted, thinking will explode and wisdom will arise.On the contrary, where there is control over thought, reason ends up being destroyed.This difference in results comes from the perception of wisdom. Spirit: Nobility refers to a kind of spirit, one is cultural upbringing, resisting the temptation of materialism, and not taking pleasure as the purpose of life.The second is social responsibility, strict self-discipline, cherish honor, and shoulder the responsibility of the community and the country.The third is a free soul, independent will, daring to say no to power and money.Moreover, it has intellectual and moral autonomy, can transcend fashion and trends, and is not enslaved by political power and the opinions of the majority. Thinking: Long Yingtai said...the purpose of education is nothing else, it is to teach a person how to evaluate facts and evidence, how to judge falsehood, how to distinguish true from false, how to distinguish fact from fiction...The biggest challenge to society is rather the people's ability to think .Between black and white, there are many levels of gray. How to judge the truth and falsehood has become a topic for the whole people, which highlights the fact that a nation without the ability to speculate can only go in one direction, which is sinking.
