00987 The Value of Cognition
Whether it was ridicule or not didn't matter to Zhuo Zhiwen in the past, anyway, it was all a literati thing.
But now it's different, looking at You Gege's book from today's perspective, combined with various recent events, Zhuo Zhiwen suddenly felt that this You Gege seemed to have some kind of special identity.
At the end of the inheritance and development, the reader can clearly feel the disappointment and dissatisfaction of You Gege with the current development model of human society.
Therefore, this part has also become the focus of controversy.
Some people think that You Gege is a troll in the new era, and she is so ashamed to ridicule the world, just for the sake of grandstanding, just like Mimeng and others in the early years, she is a "commercial writer" who sells anxiety and promotes traffic, and the purpose is not to create, but to make profits.
What's more, You Gege's point of view is very naΓ―ve, her words are like denying the development model of human society, believing that all this is wrong and wrong with the help of a fig leaf, and the whole human society has still not been able to get out of the established pattern of "the sky is dead, and the yellow sky should stand", the formation of this concept may be related to her unusual observation angle, but it does not show how outstanding she is.
Because she pointed out the problem, but did not give a solution.
But there are also many people who support You Gege's view, and even integrate You Gege's view with the popular "anti-three seasons" thinking.
As for the so-called "anti-three seasons" thinking, Zhuo Zhiwen also has an in-depth understanding.
This kind of "anti-three seasons" thinking was first born in China, and the main group is the new generation of young people born in the post-90s and later.
The "three seasons" in the specific "anti-three seasons" thinking refers to the "three seasons people", which originates from an allusion about Confucius.
It is about one day when Confucius's disciple Zigong was cleaning in front of the door, and someone came to visit whether he was Confucius.
Zigong replied, "I'm not, do you have anything to ask my teacher for?" β
The visitor said, "I'm here to ask about time." β
Hearing this, Zigong said, "I may be able to answer this question. β
So he said, "Then tell me, how many seasons are there in a year?" β
Zigong: "Four seasons." β
The person who came smiled and shook his head: "No, there are only three seasons a year." β
Zigong was very surprised, so he argued with him, and the two sides insisted on their own words, and when there was no conclusion, Confucius came out of the courtyard.
Seeing this, Zigong listened to all kinds of things to Confucius.
When Confucius heard this, he did not answer directly, but first looked at the seeker, and then replied, "It is true that there are only three seasons in a year. β
The visitor laughed when he heard this, and went away triumphantly.
Leaving Zigong was very puzzled, because Confucius also said that it was the four seasons when he taught him, why did it suddenly change.
I asked the teacher why he changed it like this.
Confucius explained: "When you see that the person who came was dressed in green, it was clearly a grasshopper in the field, the so-called grasshopper, born in spring and died in autumn, and he had only experienced spring, summer, and autumn in his life, and he had not seen the cold winter, how could he know the truth of the four seasons of the year?" So, even if you fight with it for three days and three nights, it won't come to fruition, if you don't follow him, can he leave so easily? So, although you have learned a little trick, you have learned a great way. β
β¦β¦
Judging from the allusions alone, Confucius's "Three Seasons of People" is a realistic way of life.
But with the progress of the times and the gradual broadening of their minds, some people who have obtained the essence of "Three Seasons People" have slowly realized that they may be the grasshopper, but he has lived a few days longer than he met the grasshopper.
Therefore, the so-called "three seasons of people" way of life is actually the law of "foolish people".
Smart people have already seen the truth of the "three seasons of people", and they have also learned to be vigilant, so they work harder to explore, think, and learn.
However, at the same time, in order to ensure its own advantages and stabilize the power structure, for example, in the thousands of years of rule of China's feudal dynasties, the way of social governance adopted by the imperial power included the way of fooling the people who were used by the "three seasons of people" in reverse.
That is, to make most of the people who have obviously experienced the same four seasons become stupid people who only know the "three seasons", so that it is conducive to rule.
Nowadays, education has gradually become popular, and the reflection left by the "Three Seasons People" to all mankind has gradually deepened and become heavy.
The "anti-three seasons" thinking also came into being.
Moreover, the original advocates of the "anti-three seasons" were not aimed at the idea of "foolish people", but against the "meaningless" tolerance in society.
To be more specific, to put it mildly, drivers in some areas have launched a campaign of "never tolerate the dog", undertaking all accidents caused by refusal to plug the dog, and confronting all the immoral behaviors of forcibly plugging.
To put it more broadly, after the regional ideology is full, it no longer agrees with the myth of absolute leadership, and some perfunctory and formal behaviors are exposed and opposed, and the people's political participation has increased substantially.
Their common mode of thought is to oppose the "three seasons" theory and emphasize the "dignity of justice"!
This ideological movement is gradually on the right track in 2025, with more and more supporters and participants.
It's just that before an ideological consciousness matures, it is inevitable that there will be an outbreak of radical behavior, and the idea of "anti-three seasons" has also brought a lot of discordant notes to society.
Therefore, when someone fused You Gege's ideas with the "anti-three seasons", instead of helping You Gege's book sell better, it pushed it into the fire pit.
After noticing the instability caused by this immaturity, many countries removed "Self-Consciousness" from the shelves and listed it as a banned book.
In the past few years, Zhuo Zhiwen has also dealt with many radical incidents related to the idea of "anti-three seasons" in the National Security Department, among which the place where the most hidden dangers have erupted is the school.
Under the influence of the "anti-three seasons" ideology, those immature students believe that the society and the government have concealed too much truth, and with the use of some well-intentioned people, the "anti-three seasons" that originally aimed to broaden their minds, help each other understand each other, and give social justice and dignity have become a tool for some people to carry out the "three seasons" foolishness again.
With these experiences, and then reading You Gege's book, Zhuo Zhiwen found that You Gege's ideas and starting points were not wrong, but she was a little impatient, and she did not take into account the potential danger brought about by the whole body when the overall pattern of society was running.
This is not the world of a few, but the world of billions.
If you want to control it and guide it to progress, it is not enough to rely on some radical and immature ideas.
However, from the second part, Zhuo Zhiwen found that this You Gege didn't seem to intend to point out Jiang Shang, but she was a little schizophrenic and completely denied her various views and thoughts in the second part.
When reading this part, if you don't hold the full copy of "Self-Consciousness", the reader will definitely think that someone who particularly dislikes You Gege vents his dissatisfaction.
Zhuo Zhiwen also felt the same way when she finished watching the second part.
The second part focuses on "human nature" and "laziness".
Here, every time You Gege denies his own naΓ―ve views, he simulates a realistic scene in the article.
For example, she mentioned professional farmers and the food security system in China, and believes that this system will ultimately solve the basic needs of people in terms of food, clothing, housing and transportation, so that more people can have time to read, think and learn.
However, in the second part of the second volume, she refers to the problem of "social moth" brought about by the welfare state in Europe.
And hypothetically, if professional farmers really complete the national layout in 2050, and all citizens can get basic protection for food, clothing, housing and transportation, then will citizens really go to school, learn skills, divergent thinking and then let a hundred flowers bloom as she expects?
In this regard, You Gege's answer to himself is...... Perhaps quite the opposite.
After people's food, clothing, shelter and transportation are satisfied, what should continue to support people's efforts?
Take You Gege herself as an example, even if she doesn't write books, she doesn't need to worry about food, clothing, housing and transportation just by virtue of her profession as a private tutor, not to mention that she also has a super rich friend Wang Yi.
Therefore, for her, food, clothing, shelter and transportation have faded out of her world a long time ago, and she can now devote more energy to reading and writing.
But there are also a large number of people in Europe who live only on state welfare, and laziness occupies all of their lives.
What is the difference between You Gege and these people at this time?
You Gege believes that it is the level of cognition and the level of ideological consciousness.
And she believes that people's happiness standards are directly related to cognitive levels.
Some people with a limited level of cognition, he simply can't imagine the life of the "rich".
As a result, in many film and television dramas, the rich are always overly reflected in the wealth of "money", and their inner spirit is still as narrow as that of people with limited cognition.
That's why the word shame comes in.
It's not just about wealth disparity...... It is also a huge disparity in cognitive level and spiritual consciousness......
β¦β¦
Regarding this, Zhuo Zhiwen has a great sense of identity.
Because she had carried out the mission of rescuing the daughter of a high-ranking official in a tribe in Africa, she was kidnapped by the locals was a very loving, but too simple volunteer, it is said that she went to the target area with a truckload of goods to carry out help activities, and it went smoothly at first, but when she saw the locals put the seeds she brought into a pot and cook them into porridge to eat, she felt very angry, and as a result, she angered the son of the local chief, so her entire support team was hijacked.
By the time Zhuo Zhiwen rescued her, she had already been insulted, and several members of her team had been brutally murdered.
Although this incident is not representative of the whole of Africa, it leaves a deep impression and reflection on Zhuo Zhiwen.
While more than half of the world's population started using smartphones, there were still many who had never seen it in their lifetime.
It is impossible for them to know what it means to take a picture of a "black hole", let alone imagine what it means for a ship larger than an aircraft carrier to take off and fly at an altitude of more than 10,000 meters above the ground......
You Gege recognizes this in his dialogue with the self, and in the third part, he nakedly exposes a very terrible reality.
"The premise of transcendence is to eliminate the past"
