No matter how ridiculous a concept is, there will always be 20% of people in the world who blindly believe it, and some people's lack of knowledge, or cognitive barriers, seems to be unimaginable.
The more you know, the more you discover your ignorance. After experiencing depression and reorientation, you can have a more accurate understanding of your abilities.
As we grow in experience, the more we understand this truth-Don't argue with brain-dead
Because, there are scientific studies that prove that brain-dead people really don't realize that they are brain-dead.
One day in 1995, a young man named McArthur Wheeler swaggered and robbed a bank in Pennsylvania, USA. When he **, looking at the surveillance video, he suddenly said in disbelief: "But my face is smeared with lemon juice!."”
It turned out that someone had told him that as long as he applied lemon juice to his face, he would be invisible. He was convinced of this. This kind of brain is unbelievable to us, but please don't call him a "stupid fork", he may feel aggrieved, or he will justifiably contradict you.
It's not a joke, it's a real psychological phenomenon. It's not an extreme minority, it's everywhere.
In 1999, two psychologists, Dunning and Kruger, studied this phenomenon.
They did four experiments and were shocked to find that the people who were most lacking in humor, writing and logic always overestimated themselves: when they actually scored only 12%, they thought they scored more than 60%!
They call this phenomenonThe "Darker effect" (also known as the Dunning-Kruger effect).
It's one of a kindCognitive biasesPhenomena refer to irrational people who arrive at them on the basis of their own "unconsidered decisions".Wrong conclusions, butInability to recognize one's own inadequacies, and it is also impossible to discern the wrong behavior.
These incompetent people are immersed in the illusory advantages of their own creation, often overestimating their own ability level, but unable to objectively evaluate the ability of others.
In short,The more stupid people are, the more they think they are smart - not lying or being stubborn, but really thinking so from the bottom of their hearts!
The results of this study were also obtained for the year"Funny Nobel Prize".
Don't get me wrong, this award is very serious!Some of the judges are real Nobel laureates, and the aim is to select them"Laughing at first glance, thought-provoking afterwards".research.
This phenomenon is actually very scary to think about, becauseWe may all be overestimating ourselves and not knowing it.
It's not just about the ignorantPeople with moderate ability tend to be more likely to have strong overestimations, because they have more or less one or two dimensions of advantage, it is easier to "get an inch".
Jimmy Chicken Feather Show" once did a prank at a ** festival in Texas.
The reporter interviewed two girls at random and asked, "What do you think of the Doctor Shlomo band?"”
It's my favorite band!"That's right, it's been a very dry year!”
However, the band's name was made up by a reporter and was named after a Broadway opera ———In fact, this band does not exist at all.
Those who go to the festival are proud to know what to do nextEven if they don't really understand what the new content is.
This is the classic "Duck effect", which is actually very common in life. For example, there are people on any topiccan talk eloquently, as if the upper knows astronomy and the lower knows the geography ......There are some areas that we as listeners really don't know much aboutI can't tell how true he is.
Either adore with a bewildered face, or despise him for pretending. But from another point of view, he is most likely a self-righteous mouthpiece.
You may know a word or two, and you can boast of a science yourself.
This kind of person is poisoned too deeply in the "exhaust" of the torrent of knowledge, and hallucinations.
In the Song Dynasty, there was a county order named Zhong Xiaoweng who wrote bad calligraphy, but he thought it was very good.
Wherever he went, he always had to criticize the inscriptions on some famous plaques and try to rewrite them.
One day, he saw the inscription on the attic of a temple with the four big characters "Dinghuizhi Pavilion", but the names of the people at the place of payment were covered by dust and could not be seen clearly.
He refuted again, and asked someone to take off the plaque and let himself give the words again.
Due to his status as a county order, even if his subordinates and monks felt that the inscription was well written, they did not dare to disobey it.
However, after wiping off the dust, it was found that the name of Yan Zhenqing, a generation of calligraphers, was written on the letter.
Zhong Xiaoweng was embarrassed for a while, and then said to his subordinates: "It's a pity that such a good pair of characters is not engraved into an inscription." ”
So sometimes, when there is no way to blame some self-confident brains, just watch quietly - himSooner or later, he will be slapped in the face.
A student of the ancient Greek philosopher Zeno of Elea once asked, "Teacher, you know many times more than I do, and you answer your questions very correctly, but why do you always have doubts about your answers?"”
Zeno drew two circles on the table, one large and one small, and pointed to these two circles and said, "The area of the big circle is my knowledge, and the area of the small circle is your knowledge, and I have more knowledge than you."
Outside these two circles is the ignorance of you and me. The circumference of the great circle is longer than the small circle, and therefore, I have more contact with ignorance than you. That's why I often doubt myself. ”
Zeno's point of view, which has since been summed up in a famous quote:The more you know, the more you discover your ignorance.
When I think about when I first learned about something, I always felt that the door to a new world had been opened, for example, when I first learned to play the flute, I was excited to feel that I was a musical instrument genius.
But if you ask people who have been playing a musical instrument for many years, they often say that they are not good at it. It's not because they're humble, it's because when they dig a lot deeper, they really realize their breadth and their own shortcomings.
The so-called three years of beginnership are invincible in the world, and then three years of learning are doubtful of life.
As the Xi continues to deepen, most people will gradually discover their shortcomings. It's actually a very reasonable processAfter experiencing depression and reorientation, I finally had a more accurate understanding of my abilities.
The Huffington Post in the United States once did a poll and put forward some very outrageous ideas to the public, such as the sun revolves around the earth, the lottery is a very good way to invest, and the taller people are more likely to run the lack of oxygen, etc., let them make judgments.
But the results show thatFor every outrageous idea, about 20% of people will blindly believe it.
That's what it's known for"The rule of the fifth in ignorance".In other words, no matter how ridiculous a concept is, there will always be 20% of people in the world who blindly believe it, some peopleLack of knowledge, or cognitive barriers, it seems that we can't imagine it.
So, that's why,Don't argue with people whose thinking is not on the same level, that can only be said by chickens and ducks.
Back then, Confucius endured disgusting flattery to two uneducated old men, but he knew this very well, "When you meet such people, just coax them to get out early." What are you provoking them for?”
