Language is the way of communication between people, civilization is inherited through language and writing, and the development of human beings is inseparable from language, so what are the defects in the expression of language and writing?Let's take a simple example to help understand:
As shown above, when a person says "cold, very uncomfortable", he actually has a lot of uncomfortable feelings in his heart, but through language and writing, he can only simply use the words "cold, very uncomfortable" to summarize and say, and when the other party hears these words, the other party's understanding is much simpler, "Well, I know, you just have a cold", the other party will not realize the uncomfortable feelings in your heart at all.
So, for the other party, if you have a cold, it's a little meaning, just drink more hot water.
This is the defect of communication and expression through words, because things such as feeling and consciousness cannot be described through words at all, even if you say all your current feelings, it will still be cold words to the other person's ears.
The inability to convey one's true inner feelings to the other person's heart is the biggest flaw in the way of language and writing, of course, the inevitable defect at this time is natural and objective.
This is the fundamental reason why it doesn't make sense to reason with others.
Because the truth you are talking about is just a summary of your experience, behind the truth you have summarized, there are a lot of feelings and feelings, but these are all things that you can't express through words. When the other party hears your reasoning, the other party only hears the superficial language as a summary of experience, and a lot of unspeakable feelings and feelings behind the experience are actually missing. At this point, you can't expect the other person to understand your reasoning.
This is the difference between a person who teaches and a person who learns the truth.
This is also why it is not reasonable for parents and children to reason, but sometimes it is okay to beat up while reasoning. Because you just reason with him, he won't have any inner feelings, and if you beat him while reasoning, he will have a deep understanding in his heart: This is really reasonable, and this truth is really painful!
It is easier to listen to reasoning while beating, of course, it is a parent's problem to beat purely but not reason, and it is the most effective to beat reasonably.
Just kidding. That's what it is. We all have the same problem when learning any knowledge and truth, we can only learn to summarize the experience conveyed on the surface, but behind this a lot of feelings and feelings are not perceptible, and the lack of feelings and feelings leads us to only follow the script, and we cannot grasp the knowledge of the truth we have learned.
This is the key difference between rational thinking and emotional thinking.
There are basically two ways of thinking in human beings: rational thinking and emotional thinking. Rational thinking is easier to understand (here rational thinking and other definitions and other things will not be explained, too nonsense, only talk about some key things), because rational thinking has strict rationality and logic, it is easy to summarize the laws and truths, and can be disseminated and promoted in the process of education, which is the key factor for the accumulation of modern scientific knowledge from generation to generation and the dissemination and development from generation to generation, and it can also be said to be the cornerstone of modern science.
However, the most fundamental defect of rational thinking is that the emotional things such as feelings cannot be directly felt by the other party through words and words, so the things of rational thinking are pale and boring to learn, just like we learn, there is no meaning at all, and there is no interest in learning at all.
So what is perceptual thinking?This is the beauty of kanji expressions, and when we see the word "sensibility", we can immediately understand that it is about emotional things such as feelings.
Perceptual thinking is a way of thinking based on feelings, feelings, and other emotions, which relies on personal perception, experience, and emotions.
Of course, it's easy to say, but it doesn't sound like anything. Because, our truth needs to be expressed in a rational way, and it is not surprising that the same problem will arise here, and it is difficult to explain the rational truth.
We understand it from the point of view of the energy of consciousness.
Rational thinking, in fact, is to isolate rational knowledge and consciousness from emotional feelings and feelings in the brain, and only learn knowledge, not feelings, and feelings.
It's like this, in the brain, the conscious energy and the emotional energy are isolated, but we know that the energy is constantly spreading outward, and the energy does not have a clear boundary like matter, and we can take two objects away and not let them touch together, so that the boundary can be demarcated.
But can energy be isolated?No, energy has no boundaries and is constantly diverging, so what should I do?There is only one way, when there is a rational energy such as consciousness in the brain, there can be no emotional energy such as emotions at the same time, what is this?
Isn't this just ruthless, just have no feelings.
What emotions do you need to learn math formulas?What emotions do you need to study the rules of physics?Well, this is the fundamental gap between Chinese and Western cultures, and most of the Western cultures do not need to consider people's feelings.
Rational thinking is the cornerstone that supports the development of modern science, so why does the leading role of modern science and technology basically occur in the West?Even in modern times, Chinese people have begun to attach importance to science and technology, but they are still not as fundamental as the development of Western science and culture, because Chinese emotional thinking exceeds rational thinking, and Chinese pay more attention to human emotions.
Perceptual thinking, on the other hand, means that everything must be combined with people's emotional feelings, as follows:
Conscious energy and emotional energy are one, consciousness is inseparable from emotions, and without emotional things, we have no feeling when we learn them, we are not interesting, we don't want to learn, and we can't learn well.
In a word, we don't force ourselves to do things that aren't interesting.
This leads to the fact that no matter at any time, science and technology cannot be fully developed and matured in Chinese culture, even now, everyone has attached great importance to science and technology, but it is still invisibly affected by the unique influence of perceptual thinking culture, and boring things just don't want to study.
For example, the focus of discussion in China is how to transfer feelings to AIIs an AI that doesn't feel feelings intelligent?It's just a tool man, it's not very interesting, what's there to study?
And the Western view may be, what feelings and feelings, is this important?It doesn't matter if you don't have it, make one out and try it out, what if you have it in the future?Hurry up and do your research.
This is the influence of perceptual thinking and rational thinking on the development of human science and culture.
Western culture pays more attention to rational things, such as learning those mathematical and physical formulas, you don't need to feel and feel, the rules of the world are originally rational, and you can study and understand the world with reason, what is the use of feelings?So Westerners don't pay attention to the emotional factor. This is the development of science and technology by the advantage, more rational, but there is not much emotion, to put it bluntly, it is a lack of human nature, they believe that human society is also the same as the natural world, that is, the weak and the strong, the strong can dominate everything, just like the beast in the natural environment, this is the beast nature. Why is there indulgence in the West?It's because they don't pay attention to emotional feelings at all, aren't all beasts like that, and they mate when it's time to mate, and so do people.
In fact, there is a deeper question here, that is, why is Western culture more rational?It is difficult to learn such a purely rational thing as mathematical and physical formulas, but why does Western culture want to develop science and technology very well?Not focusing on the perceptual factor is only a good reason for development, but it is not an intrinsic driving force. If you don't have an inner drive to do anything, you won't take it seriously, and it won't develop well, and that's the essence of Western culture: predation, the law of the jungle.
In the deepest part of Western culture, science and technology are just a tool, through which the most fundamental driving force is to realize the plundering of others and satisfy one's own desires.
This is what China's culture of advocating natural peace cannot understand, and this is also the key reason why Chinese culture does not pay attention to science and technologyChinese culture does not have this kind of internal driving force, because natural peace does not need to be fought for, harmony and stability are the first priority.
Of course, now that China is vigorously developing science and technology, the slogan is that if it is backward, it will be beaten, this is only a means of resistance, it is forced, and the ultimate goal is to not fight, I don't fight you, you don't fight me, and everyone lives in harmony.
Because in Chinese culture, more attention is paid to emotional factors, and there is a kind of rejection from the heart of things that have no feelings, if you don't feel anything in your heart, then it's really boring, it is better to study other interesting things, such as the emotional relationship between people, this is interesting, and slowly evolves into a knowledge based on the relationship between people, that is, moral concepts, and pays more attention to human nature.
So, is it better to think rationally or emotionally?It depends on whether you want to be a human or an animal, the best is of course both, you can have both, a high-level animal, isn't this a human!
If you want to develop science, you must be very rational, and the more rationality, the less sensibility, in fact, we have now seen that the more rational people are, the less sensibility, the more scientific knowledge they learn, the weaker their feelings will be, which is inevitable.
Therefore, at present, it seems that the contest between the two, whether in the world or in the individual, will continue.
Of course, there is no way out at present, it does not mean that there is no way out in the future, and we can't think of a solution, but we are not standing high enough, and there may be a day in the future when human beings find a thorough solution.
Therefore, the solution now is to leave it to future generations to solve.
