It is human nature to seek knowledge. Our willingness to use our feelings is an example; Even if it is not practical, people

I have always liked feeling. Of all the feelings, I attach great importance to vision. Will we do something, or do nothing, with

We all love to see other feelings. The reason is that it can make us know things and show many differences between things.

This is in the five senses, mostly visual.

Animals are born with sensory abilities. Some animals produce memories from their senses, while others do not. this

Sample, the former is more sensitive than those who can't remember, more suitable for learning. People who can't hear can understand, but they can.

Unteachable: bees, for example, and other similar species; Animals that have hearing besides memory,

You can teach it.

Except for humans, animals live by phenomena and memories, and there are few related experiences; But human beings still rely on technology and reason.

Live wisely. Now, people accumulate experience from memory;

Repeated memories of the same thing eventually produce the potential of this experience. Experience, much like knowledge and technology, is actually a person.

Classes gain knowledge and technology from experience; Poirot said: "Experience makes technology, and no experience depends on opportunity." rule of thumb

Many points make people make a general judgment on a kind of things, and technology rises from this. Make such a judgment: supplement

Leah has been infected with this disease, which is beneficial to him, as is Socrates and many other cases. This is experience; But to do so

A judgment: People of a certain constitution have been infected with this disease, such as mucus or bile factors.

Being sick and having a fever is good for him-this is technology.

In business, it seems that experience is not lower than technology, and even experienced people are better than those with theory but no experience.

More successful. The reason is that experience is individual knowledge, technology is universal knowledge, and business and production are related to individual things.

Physics; Because doctors don't treat people, they only have the names of "Galia" or "Socrates" or others.

Treatment, and these happen to be "people." If you have theory but no experience, you will know common things and don't know what they mean.

Other things, such doctors are often unable to cure diseases; Because what he wants to treat is really some "individual people". we

We believe that knowledge and understanding belong to technology, not experience. We think that technicians are smarter than experienced people.

Omniscient, not from individual knowledge); The former knows the reason, while the latter doesn't. Know things by experience.

However, I don't know why, and technical experts know why. We also believe that great craftsmen in every industry should

More respected, they know better and smarter than ordinary craftsmen, and they know that they are pitchers in every move.

Cause (we think that the behavior of ordinary craftsmen is out of habit, which is similar to abiotic actions, such as burning fire)

Follow the natural trend and carry out your own functional activities, but I don't know why); So we say

They are smarter, not because they act quickly, but because they have theories and know why. Generally speaking,

This can be seen as a sign of whether a person has a theory. People who know why can teach others, and people who don't know why can't teach others.

Therefore, relative to experience, technology is true knowledge; Technicians can teach people, but people who rely only on experience can't.

Moreover, we don't regard the sense of function as wisdom; Of course, these give us the most important understanding of individual things. Guan Dan

Feeling can't tell us anything about why-for example, what is fire and what is heat; They just said the fire was hot.

At the beginning, whoever invented any technology beyond common sense was highly praised by the people. Not just because of these inventions.

It is of practical value, and the world praises him for being superior to others in people's benefits. There are more and more scientific and technological inventions, some of which are very rich.

In addition to the necessities of life, some increase the entertainment of human beings; The latter inventor is naturally considered to be more sensitive than the former.

Wisdom, because this knowledge is not for practical purposes. After these inventions were established one after another, there was a phenomenon of no birth and no nourishment.

Some knowledge is necessary for life and does not aim at happiness in the world. It first appeared when people began to have leisure.

Location. Mathematics first flourished in Egypt because the monk class there had the privilege of leisure.

We talked about the difference between technology and knowledge and various official situations in Ethics. The topic to be discussed here

It is the so-called wisdom that everyone uses to explain the cause and principle of things; Therefore, as mentioned above, experienced people are better than only people.

Some officials think that people are wise, technical experts are smarter than experienced people, and masters are smarter than craftsmen.

The knowledge of the department should be higher wisdom than that of the production department. So, obviously, wisdom is about some principles and

An understanding of the reasons.
