What does it mean to lose the spirit of doubt?

Mondo Social Updated on 2024-01-29

To be good at skepticism, not only to be suspicious where there is doubt, but also to be suspicious about things that are commonplace. The same is true for behavior, you have to be skeptical in order to see the truth of many things. However, there is a lack of skepticism, and many people take it for granted that they are working and living in mediocrity. Actually, not at all, people are just confined to a certain range, and their thinking is imprisoned, and they lose a lot of good development.

Students in school have to listen carefully to lectures, do questions, and cope with exams, but they will not participate in many social practices, and they will not even have the opportunity to discuss social issues in classThey care more about doing questions and getting high scores, rather than growing into scholars. The spirit of skepticism is not promoted and is not preached. If it is necessary to say that students also have a spirit of doubt, then they can only have some doubts about the answers to the Xi questions in the process of doing the questions, but they often prove themselves wrong, and they may also doubt the teacher's character, which is often wrong. It is not excluded that there are teachers with bad moral character, but the vast majority of teachers are good. Students do not have contact with society, even if they hold their mobile phones to watch the news and watch short **, they may not be able to understand the real world, do not know the truth of the matter, and do not know how power and capital operate. As a result, they lose their skepticism and believe that existence is reasonable. Since the people around me have tacitly assumed that society is reasonable and some of the things that happen are reasonable, then they also think that society is reasonable and some of the things that happen are also reasonable. There is no need to doubt everything, and there is no need for everyone to be suspicious, as long as you follow others, there will be no major danger, and you will even live a good life. If you are always suspicious, it will be difficult to escape the hardship?

Skepticism itself is a means of understanding the world and a sign of maturity. When people understand the world, they will look at the world as a subjective mirror image, thinking that what they see is true, what they hear is true, what they taste is true, what they feel is real, and even their dreams are real. This is the reason why many people want to tell others about their dreams, what they think is true, but they are actually false. The same is true of the world, what I think is true is actually only a very one-sided understanding, not a comprehensive understanding. People know the world like a blind man touching an elephant, and it is like "a blind man riding a blind horse, facing a deep river in the middle of the night." "It's just that you think it's right, and for others, you may not think it's right and think it's wrong.

The spirit of skepticism is very valuable, not everyone has it, it needs to be cultivated, and it is also necessary to constantly dispel doubts and keep forging ahead. If students suspect social problems, Xi way of learning and lifestyle, they will be taught by teachers to correct their "deviations", concentrate on learning Xi, concentrate on solving problems, and get high scores. However, students who do not have the spirit of skepticism can easily become domesticated animals, and after being domesticated by the education system, they lack smart thinking and creativity. People who work also need to be skeptical, but many of them have also been domesticated, and they will not question the rationality of the company's system, nor will they question the mediocrity of the people around them after they have been domesticated, let alone discover their own shining points. As a result, most people go to work to earn money, and after work they want to spend money, they fall into the cycle of earning and spending money, of course, they may save money and invest, but they often lack the rationality of the world and the things around them, and they also lack the general care for human groups, lack the spirit of humanism, and become unbearable.

People will be suspicious, but many times doubts are not allowed. The power system issues orders for people to obey and not for people to question. Even if someone doubts it, they will eventually be changed by power, or become a person within the power system, rather than an individual. In many cases, people's doubts come from reflection after their own interests have been damaged, and they will not take the initiative to doubt and develop when they are hindered in the process of understanding the world. Of course, there are also wise men who have become philosophers who have been skeptical since the birth of the world, and have been skeptical all the way to the present, but they are only limited to the field of philosophy, and there is no evidence of scientific experiments. Scientists need to be skeptical, not only to doubt the research results of their predecessors, but also to have certain doubts about their own research, and to promote the development of scientific research in the process of continuous skepticism and continuous doubt.

Still, relative to most people, there is a lack of skepticism. In the era of "the mountains and rivers of the whole country are red", people are driven by a certain thought, and dare to have the slightest skeptical spiritWhether it is the "anti-rightist" struggle or the "one big and two public," it is the tune of the whole country, and one voice drowns out the voice of doubt, and the person who makes the voice of doubt has been defeated, and the spirit of doubt has been eliminated, and it has become "listening to the command at a unified pace" and "pointing to the point and hitting the **" has aroused the emotions of the masses, but the economy has regressed by 10 years or even decades. Up to now, although the social situation is basically stable and people's living standards have generally improved, there are still many corruption, many power rent-seeking, many capital monopoly, and many environmental pollution。

When people's values are problematic and rewritten by power and capital, the spirit of skepticism is completely lost, and few people are willing to doubt, but will be guided by power control and capital investment, followed by narcissism and pride. The absence of a spirit of doubt is certainly beautiful, but it is only a superficial illusion, and when this illusion is exposed, it is when people see the truth, and the spirit of doubt will be born from this.
