Chapter 14 People who don't think actually have insights
From now on, I will stop talking about books, but analyze the low "collective IQ" in our society from the perspective of public opinion formation.
Books about policy proposals do not sell, of course, because they do not generate sufficient public opinion.But in the general election, every voter will participate and respond to the political ideas promoted by politicians. From this, it can be concluded that the people have their own opinions.
However, the personal opinions of the people seem to have no clear purpose, just like the Liberal Democratic Party, which won a big victory in the "postal election", and the subsequent "excellent" Abe cabinet, Fukuda cabinet and Aso cabinet, they all advocate different political Thoughts, but in the end these people did nothing, but expressed a complete negation of Koizumi's reforms.
Why are the people not angry?What should the people choose?I'm afraid the best way is to "think nothing".
In addition to books, the amount of media is also growing rapidly, which has led to a flood of opinions and suggestions.
"Now that society has the Internet, people who were unable to express their opinions in the past now have the opportunity to express their opinions. The era when newspapers, TV, books and other propaganda media dominated speech has passed."
There are a lot of slander, slander, and some foul language on the Internet, but occasionally there are some opinions that make me applaud and some opinions that agree with me.In addition, this is also a platform to reflect collective wisdom in the Internet age.
Then why do you say that the "collective IQ" of the Japanese is low, and everyone can't think?
In this regard, my opinion is as follows:
"There are more and more people who don't think, but not thinking doesn't mean they don't have opinions. In fact, people who don't think also have their own opinions."
"Not thinking" but having "opinion"-this seems to be a contradictory statement. After reading the following example, I think you will understand.
In 2005, the Shimane Prefectural Council of Japan announced the establishment of the "Day" name, and South Korea responded very strongly. Even the then South Korean President Roh Moo-hyun also criticized it.
Just imagine, what will be the public opinion in Japan at this time?What is the opinion of the public?
First of all, I would like to express my opinion on the issue of Takeshima:
This is my analysis from a theoretical point of view.
