Scheming and Logic The difference between Chinese and Western modes of thinking

Mondo Culture Updated on 2024-02-28

If people want to make decisions, they must make judgments. Most of the Chinese make judgments by scheming; Westerners mostly rely on logic to make judgments.

For example, expert Wang, an economist, published a view on the Internet: Yangtze River Power is good and can be held for a long time.

After Western netizens see the expert's opinion, they will use logic to think: Is the expert's argument true and reliable? Is the expert's argumentation process logical? Does the expert's argument and argument support the argument?

After Chinese netizens see the expert's opinion, they will think about it with their hearts: a kind of person: this expert is a doctor of economics studying at Harvard University in the United States, and has been received by national leaders, this person is very powerful, and his opinion is probably right; Another kind of person: this expert is not fooling us, if this ** is good, why doesn't he buy, to recommend to us, it is likely that he was bought by the dealer, let us buy, so that the dealer withdraws, pit our money.

The practice of Westerners may be beneficial to social management and people's behavior, and the practice of Chinese is more interesting in life.

In the face of the universe, human cognitive ability is too insignificant, so Westerners say that human beings laugh when they think about God; The Chinese say that life is like a play. In this case, whether it is logic or scheming, the result is the same, there is no good or bad, right or wrong, it is just a game. The difference is that people with a Western way of thinking will live a miserable life in China, and people with a Chinese way of thinking will think that Westerners are too mechanical.
