Today we will talk about the effects of information on the brain.
The day before yesterday, I watched the friends in the group chatting, and found that several friends were so small, 95, 97, 00, and even 03I was amazed, how could I pay attention to so much high-quality information at such a young age? The information they pay attention to is actually not much different from the information that people in my 30s, 40s, or even more powerful and successful people pay attention to (at least), think they are really lucky.
Because many people who are dozens of years old are still going around in the wrong concept and listening to the fallacy of experts, these young friends have saved at least 10 years of time and avoided detours.
I look back on the past, most of the time the whole person lives in a muddy way, probably in 2015, WeChat began to explode, the mobile Internet is almost a full blowout, and then after the heavy use of WeChat, I began to feel that the progress is very obvious, the previous years are wasted!
I think the key to this is the input of information. Information is to the brain what food is to the body, and our body cells are being updated all the time, and the body changes all over every 6 months.
You are actually two completely different people from you half a year ago, because there are no duplicates of the cells in the body. we are what we eat ,we are what we read.
To quote Wang Chuan's Weibo: British anthropologist Gregory Batason famously said:information is a difference that makes a difference.Information is a difference, and it has an important impact.
How powerful is information? Let me give you my own example.
I regret that I have finished contact with Oushen Anthology, and I only came into contact with it in 2020! If I had been in contact for half a year earlier, I would have bought it on the eve of the big rise, and then I would have gone to other cities to buy it again, and it would be another wave of complete ,......However, half a year late contact, a high position, counting the opportunity cost, a few N less, crying and fainting in the toilet ......
information is a difference that makes a difference.
Why do farmers look simple and honest (silly)? Why do businessmen look cunning (shrewd)?
Why do urban children look so smart, while rural children feel a little naïve?
In fact, it is the difference in the amount of information input.
In ancient times, the cost of obtaining a piece of information was very expensive, and the peasants were trapped in the land, revolving around the land all their lives, and the range of activities in a lifetime was no more than 50 kilometers. And businessmen are constantly running around, dealing with people of various identities, buying goods, selling goods, and they are people with "big data".
The same is true for children in the city, the information of the city is too rich, and all kinds of information flow and logistics come to his face as soon as he goes out, ** has been nourished and grown in his brain since he was a child. And children who grow up in the countryside are much worse in terms of information "density".
And the information is 1+1>4, information exchangeYesThe more information you create, the more information you createand more
The above only refers to the difference in the order of magnitude of information, and does not discuss the difference in correctness and quality.
In the PC era, the production and reception of information is not at the same order of magnitude as that of the mobile Internet era. The most impressive thing is that I used to sit in front of the computer, open it, and then don't know how to enter the keyword. In the PC era, information was obtained mainly by searching. And now many platforms have algorithmic recommendations.
The difference between these 2 is huge. Search is searching for something you already know or you know you don't know. And the recommendation is yesRecommendedYou don't knowstuff.
There is a huge difference between the two! If you don't know what you don't know, how can you find it by searching?
And the map of life 9999% of the part is that you don't know, you don't knowLife is an infinite game, and if your map is far more than someone else's, you can actually beat someone else's.
Everything in the world comes in many forms, but at its root is the rearrangement and combination of the periodic table of chemical elements.
The same goes for great innovations, the iPhone didn't invent anything from start to finish, but reintegrated a lot of the components that already existed.
The same is true for information, if you read too much information, you will classify yourself, and absorbing a large amount of high-quality information for a long time will produce a "nuclear explosion" in your brain, and slowly new permutations and combinations will emerge.
I highly respect what Wang Chuan said in Silicon ValleyBuild your own information channel. Low costlandIt is very important to obtain a large amount (quantity) of high-quality information.
