The implication is clear that we can only hear what we want to hear.
Of course, this is not a female personal tailor, but can be used by all mankind.
How many people can get rid of diseases?
Everyone said, China people, why don't you tell the truth?
Indeed, the world is too smooth, full of pretense and empty talk.
When you meet someone who is outspoken, look at him with a pistol, a black scarf, talking and laughing, pretending to be a criminal.
Your hair will stand on end and your muscles will be out of order. You will clap your hands and say with a smile, it's really wonderful.
But please believe that when his poisonous tongue falls on you, you will complain, you are not straight, you are just selfish.
We all overestimate our rationality.
Many times, because of psychological needs, we will shuttle back and forth between two standards and two theories at will.
Whether you are good to me is a measure of whether your speech is reasonable or not.
Not objective or not, fair or not.
Can't accept it? Don't lose your temper, look down.
Give a chestnut.
You live in a very difficult situation, and you feel blocked everywhere. None of the rich and powerful people in your life lend a helping hand.
Even if you borrow money, no one will help.
At this time, there was an article that scolded the rich for being rich and heartless, and the powerful for forgetting righteousness. If you get the treasure:
Oh, that makes sense.
At the same time, the more articles scold, the more intense the wording, the simpler the logic and the more extreme the thought, the more comfortable you are and the more willing you are to worship the author as a great god.
However, what you think is reasonable is an illusion.
Because, put on another person who is in a different mood from me, the article is full of fallacies, shallow and narrow, and slips into the world.
But it doesn't matter, even if it is really irrational and objective, but you like it.
If you like it and meet your psychological needs, you will correct it, rationalize it and normalize it.
You will put facts, reason, and quote classics to make it true.
And human civilization is vast, and it is easy to find one or two famous sayings to prove it.
It is not difficult to find three or four examples to prove that human society has been in existence for thousands of years.
But we must understand that, by the same token, if we turn around and stand on the opponent's side, we will be able to talk eloquently, write articles and get to the point, which seems irrefutable.
Russell said, don't worship authority, because you will find the opposite authority.
Well, speaking of which, this example can't help but pop up.
After a while, your life is getting better and better, and you enter the middle class. I also got help from some rich people.
On the contrary, it is the original poor partner who begins to sneer and make you bored.
At this time, an article was born, which wrote that education is directly proportional to money, and personality is related to status.
As soon as you saw your mother, your blood rushed up, and you shouted, good article.
Similar to the last article, how rude the article is, how high you read it.
I completely forgot that the theory pursued by this article is completely opposite to what you advocated before.
This is why any bad article has a market; This is why any bad theory has believers.
Self-contradiction is the expression of bounded rationality.
And the cage of bounded rationality locked everyone up.
We don't listen to reason, but to what we want to hear.
We just need someone to prove our imagination of people and things. Let's feel it:
1, I am correct;
2. I am not alone.
Both hallucinations will make us happy physically and mentally.
It is instinct to seek advantages and avoid disadvantages, and it is instinct to seek advantages and avoid disadvantages. We need this kind of happiness.
So people can't choose the conditions that make people really rational.
Trapped by interests, selfish desires and current mentality, we will wander between two opposing positions.
One moment, we oppose the masses in the name of authority, and the next moment, we oppose authority in the name of the masses;
One moment, we rebelled against vulgarity in the name of ideals, and the next moment, we rebelled against ideals in the name of reality;
One moment, we oppose truth in the name of common sense, and the next moment, we oppose common sense in the name of truth;
One moment, we are anti-moral in the name of individuality, and the next moment, we are anti-moral in the name of morality;
One moment, we opposed liberation in the name of tradition, and the next moment, we opposed tradition in the name of liberation;
One moment, we are anti-rational in the name of sensibility, and the next moment, we are disgusted in the name of rationality;
One moment, we oppose women's rights in the name of male rights, and the next moment, we oppose men's rights in the name of women's rights.
And wow, I'll tell you, in my backstage, did the same person say "Brother Chong, I like you so much" and "Bullshit" in three days?
