If it is more serious, it is the extreme thinking of "black and white" and "one or the other". For example, they can't understand that a thing can have two opposing logics at the same time and don't know the unity of opposites.
Example 1:
"My enemy is my friend", which is a typical diode thinking. They simply classify all interpersonal relationships as "enemies" and "friends".
In the process of choosing a school for postgraduate entrance examination, re-examination and adjustment, "diode thinking" is often faced. Some students asked: "My written test score is not high, and my background is average. Is the second interview hopeless? " Is it only possible to adjust to threesome or World War II? "
Example 2:
Many literary film and television creators and netizens have stated their experiences of poverty, hunger, bitterness and pain when recalling the past years.
Some netizens, like passive cheese, hurt their hearts, giving people a discredited and ugly hat, accusing others of not mentioning the poverty and suffering during the Republic of China and the current social ugliness.
What does it matter to you that others state the facts that they or many people around them have experienced? You can talk about the hardships and hardships of the Republic of China, and you can talk about all kinds of social ugliness now. Why do you want someone else to say it? What right and qualification do you have to deprive others of their freedom to speak? This method is diode thinking.
In short:
Diode thinking is a very binary way of thinking, which simplifies the complexity of a problem or thing into two mutually exclusive and independent extremes.
This way of thinking may be useful in some cases, but if it is overused or abused, it may limit everyone's understanding and solution to complex problems ~
