Two things made me re-enforce my thoughts on “don’t argue with idiots” today.
The first one is a technical post on the V station: How does Pinduoduo achieve the help of sharing? The domain name is not your own? Some people analyze it very mysteriously, as if Pinduoduo has some kind of black technology. In fact, it only collects some pictures and documents (or create some) URLs that will not be blocked or folded by WeChat. Using these services will ignore unrecognized query parameters. Just splicing the booster code. In the evening, I saw this post in a WeChat group. Some people shouted that it was amazing. Several people who understood (including me) explained that this was very simple, but it was of no use. Understand (the technical difficulty here)! I’m too lazy to explain a few words.
The second one is about labor rights. I have exchanged a few words with others, and I can see that he does not understand at all, and does not want to understand the essence of some problems. He just wants to find a punching bag. So I don’t plan to communicate with him anymore. Because when you meet this kind of person, it’s better to communicate with him because you are well-intentioned but it doesn’t actually work. It’s a waste of your time. At worst, it may cause the other person to become angry because you don’t agree with his point of view. , so there is no need to argue.
It is difficult for people with different levels of knowledge to communicate, especially in the social sciences. Even in the natural sciences, such as mathematics with strict logic, civil sciences are emerging one after another. The knowledge reserve, to put it bluntly, is the level of logic and intelligence. When a person’s brain does not have good logic and intelligence, the level of knowledge reserve is likely to be low. This does not mean to belittle “mentally handicapped”, because intelligence level is the same as height and length, it is innate and genetically determined, although some skills such as pattern recognition can be cultivated through education, but this only improves some fields. It’s just proficiency, not smart. It is not shameful to be born with mediocre intelligence. “All men are created equal” is a self-evident truth.
Mediocre logic and intelligence do not affect people’s happiness either. It is even happier because of its lower cognitive abilities. For example, for some people with poor empathy ability, it is difficult to empathize with the pain of others, which reduces the pain they need to bear because of the pain of others, and their happiness is higher than that of people with strong empathy ability. Some people do not recognize the fact that they are oppressed, but feel that the unfair treatment they receive is justifiable, and they will be happier. This is part of the value of religion.
The downside of this limitation is that it leads to increasingly low levels of speech in the public sphere. Not only domestically, but also abroad. It’s just because the education level in China is relatively backward, especially the education in social sciences is seriously insufficient, so once various domestic communities are opened to everyone, the level of speech on the platform will drop sharply (Zhihu is a good example. ), resulting in a situation where bad money drives out good money. The domestic speech control policy will add fuel to this phenomenon, so only celebrity gossip and marketing jokes are left in the public domain.
Yet as Bateson (interestingly, the communications pioneer who briefly taught in China) put it: “Oversimplified ideas will always replace sophisticated ideas, vulgarity and loathing will always replace beauty. And beauty remains. eternal.”
