In Luo Ji Siwei’s program a few days ago, Teacher Luo Pang talked about the layered theory of history. Listed several historical stories that we are familiar with, such as the story of Meng Jiangnu crying down the Great Wall. But such a story that we are familiar with from childhood to adulthood is actually the history of one dynasty after another stacked up layer by layer. In our general understanding, we don’t seem to doubt the authenticity of the story, but this history is indeed stacked up layer by layer, so! Sometimes this history is not the same as reality.

However, human imagination and creation may develop in such a cultural layer, which may be an important factor in the progress of human civilization. Teacher Wu Jun said that the main reason why the creativity of artificial intelligence is unlikely to replace humans so far is that machines do not make mistakes, but humans do. Normal genetic evolution is to continuously copy the genes of the previous generation, but why do humans evolve? Mainly because of some errors that occasionally occurred during the copying process, and then these errors were accumulated after selection, so it has developed to this day.

Such a point of view is also worthy of our deep thought. Whether we are in the workplace or starting our own business, our growth path can be said to be a process of constant trial and error. If we are afraid and unwilling to make bold attempts, we can only rely on past experience. However, many experiences are "instinctive thinking" and form "prejudices" that hinder our progress. In addition, the stocks (habits and prejudices) of this part are more likely to be unreasonable and inefficient. This way of brain operation also makes us slaves to experience, unable to objectively judge the current situation. We always let the past kidnap ourselves. The philosopher Schopenhauer said: "The obstacles that prevent people from discovering the truth are not the illusion of things, nor the flaws in people's reasoning ability, but the prejudices that people have accumulated in the past."

So, how to overcome it What about cognitive biases?

A famous saying once said by Steve Jobs:

"Stay Hungry; Stay Foolish"

It seems to also give us how to correctly face the diversity of this world. and uncertainty, the best annotation. Maintain your passion for exploring the world and knowledge, and be thirsty for knowledge! Be brave enough to try and make mistakes. However, you have to return to zero at any time, like a child, learn new knowledge step by step and practice it hard, accept feedback, correct and adjust your cognitive structure, patiently accumulate value, and run out in the marathon of life. Satisfactory results.
