△ 268｜Make amateur things professional, and professional things into business
I don’t know if there is such a person around you, that is, no matter what big truth he says, you will treat it as fart, even if the professional knowledge he said has a clear source, but you just think that he “should not have. such professionalism.” On the contrary, it may be the other extreme, that is, no matter what kind of nonsense he says, you will regard it as a classic, even if he talks about concepts that he has summed up and has not yet been put into practice, but you feel that he “since To be able to say these things shows that he has the ability.”
To give an example that everyone has encountered, the former amateur is your classmate, while the latter professional is your teacher. Of course, this teacher is still in the state before the idol collapse.
So, is there any possibility for amateurs to become professionals?
The most direct way is to get rid of the status of amateurs through professional recognition. But the risk is that an amateur who becomes a professional will form a binding relationship with a professional who endorses it. If the professional is denied, all the professionals endorsed by him will also belong to the amateur.
For example, there is a very good example in my old man old story. I have a set of learning methods for geography, which not only improved my grades from the 20s to the first in the class, but I do not have the label of “good student”, so my method is not recognized as “amateur” . Later, my geography teacher praised my systematic learning thinking. When this learning method was endorsed, it was out of the “amateur” category. Although “good students” do not want to admit this method, the label of being recognized as “professional” is placed there. Until later, this geography teacher no longer taught the graduating class of senior high school, because the teacher who endorsed “professionalism” has disappeared, so my learning method was instantly rejected as “unprofessional”, and “good students” were given to the new geography teacher. “Complain”, saying that the previous geography teacher told them to learn my methodology. Of course, a new teacher is not allowed to deviate from a methodology other than his teaching achievements, so my method is “officially” recognized as “amateur”.
The second method is that the “amateur” group overturns the “professional” group, so as to reverse the original identification of professional and amateur.
When there is no representative of “professional”, there will be a set of rules among the people who maintain the profession, that is, to jointly maintain the sanctity of the profession, otherwise the loss of “professionalism” means the truth that they insist on. And professionalism is also lost. This is the birth of “institutionalization” . The inmates in the Shawshank Prison who maintain the prison system have lost the definition of professional or amateur and have formed a self-perceived clique. But the problem is that if there is no “amateur” contrast, the “professional” itself will disappear.
The significance of the overthrow is that when the “loser” is defined as “amateur”, the opponent naturally becomes a “professional”, and the method of this argument is closed, and there is a closed loop of game rules. So this is why in Shawshank Prison, Bruce has lived in prison for 50 years. In this mimetic social rules, he has found his own position and gained his vested interests in this society, so he can’t get out of prison and return Normal life. Because he knows that the world outside the prison is an existence that is completely opposed to criminals, his original social order will be overturned, and he will instantly change from “professional” to “amateur”.
The third method is to make “professional” into “amateur”, and make “amateur” into “professional”. The “amateur” can’t do it for you, and the “professional” will be beaten to death by you.
The best representatives of turning “amateur” into “professional” are those who take a tape measure to measure whether the teacups are neatly placed and whether the tableware is placed within the specified tolerance at the meeting site. I have never quite understood what positions these people with tape measures belong to. They are not involved in the placement work, and they also have the discretion to deny the results of other people’s placement. If the banquet itself is greatly affected by these “rules” The award, the final award is the one who has the discretion, not the person who placed the props.
Obviously, you can think of many similar kinds of logic, but most of us are not allowed to discuss this kind of situation of turning “amateur” into “professional”, mainly because this kind of situation occurs too often in sensitive political institutions, Or some specific “scenarios” at the moment, for example, the distance between front and rear must be maintained at one meter, but it doesn’t matter how close people are to each other, because the new crown virus seems to only spread vertically and not horizontally.
Making “professionals” very “amateur” is a skill, because “amateurs” can be seen by anyone, but no one is allowed to find out the faults of “amateurs”. This is a way. To be precise, sticking tape one meter apart on the ground and arranging a person wearing a red armband with a superior face to manage the people queuing for nucleic acid testing is a kind of “professionalism from amateurs”, and they only care about one meter vertically. Distance, making the rules extremely fine, but disregarding the horizontal situation, this is another kind of “professionalism as an amateur”.
Another example is that the teacher taught students through online classes, and some of the students were diagnosed with the new crown. As a result, the teacher was also given a yellow code, thinking that he was at risk of being infected. This is delegating the profession to the field of amateurs; before entering the park, it is required to wear Masks, but after entering the park, people can take off the masks at will, which is also delegating the profession to the amateur – and there are two explanations for these “amateurs” as a remedy.
One is the amateur propaganda that spreads very terribly; the other is amateur operation in practical application, such as the virus spreads vertically instead of horizontally, the virus only spreads outside the park, and it stops spreading inside the park, and even the virus can be spread. disseminated via the Internet.
Back to the beginning, why some people say you may not believe what they say, even if what they say is confirmed, because they make “professional” too “amateur”, and they are used to running the train with their mouths full When someone suddenly speaks human words, the listener will not necessarily believe it, and even deny the “truth” spoken by him because of distrust of the person.
Another kind of person, who will be believed by some people with his personality charm, makes the listener think that every word he says has “philosophy”. In contrast, making “amateur” very “professional” is a rare ability . Of course, when this ability is displayed on the head of “public power”, it will make many sober people see the outrageous and ugly inside.
How to distinguish between “professionals become amateurs” and “professionals become professionals”? In fact, it is very simple, it is to see how many unproven “concepts” they have created from a “professional” perspective, and whether they have more “rituals” than general professionalism.
For example, for the public power that “makes amateurs extremely professional”, they frequently create new words and use new words to avoid the “riskiness” of the original word meaning. This is a very classic amateur specialization. Creating a new concept, or redefining an established concept with a concept, is one of the means of emphasizing the necessity of professionalism . On the one hand, a brand-new concept can scare those who have never established their own concept, they are convinced These key points of knowledge are classics that will be used for life; on the other hand, those who already have concepts are first denied the existing concepts, and then instilled with new concepts. People, in order to survive in the crowd, will voluntarily give up their own cognition and form a drift.
At the same time, how to make amateurs look more professional, in addition to creating concepts, it is more important to create a “sense of participation”. The more abstract and higher-level the concept, the more difficult it is for people to understand and verify the correctness of the concept from a realistic level. If the concept is a “scripture” that cannot be denied, then the act of “worship” is to restrict people’s behavior. The stronger the sense of ritual, the stronger the sense of participation of people, and the more they believe that the concept itself points The “doctrine” is reasonable.
For example, going back to the rule that the cup must be on a horizontal line, will the placement of the cup affect the resolution of the meeting? Obviously not, and even more often the so-called resolution is agreed long ago under the table, and the meeting is just a performance process. Then in this process, the stronger the sense of ritual, the more it can dilute the fact of black box operation, making people feel that the more rules and formalities the meeting has, the more it can represent the sanctity, fairness, and order of the meeting itself. But everyone understands what’s behind it. It’s just that you can’t find any flaws on the surface to prove that “this is just acting.” If at this time, someone sees the “blemishes” from the horizontal line on which the cups are placed, it is inevitable that Someone will take advantage of it.
Of course, there will also be an inevitable situation, that is, someone will deny the concept of “professionalism from amateurs”. So do people who “professionalism from amateurs” worry about this happening? Of course not, don’t forget that the rabble has already formed, and they will jointly maintain this concept that once they are separated, they are nothing through “institutionalization”.
