Avoiding Stupid Views Zhang Baotong 2019.5.21

To avoid making mistakes, you need to avoid stupid opinions. However, foolish views are hard to avoid. Lu Xun is supposed to be a banner of Chinese literature, but he calls China's national character "deception and deception" and "humility and cowardice", and describes the spirit of Chinese as "Ah Q spirit". I think that's a stupid idea. Because he thinks highly of himself and thinks very low of the people.

I am not giving this example to be disrespectful to Mr. Lu Xun, but to show that the greatest people will have stupid opinions and make some mistakes. If he hadn't made a mistake, Napoleon wouldn't have encountered the Iron Furnace, and Cao Cao wouldn't have taken the Huarong Road. If he hadn't made a mistake, Othello wouldn't have killed his beloved wife, and Li Longji wouldn't have caused the Anshi Rebellion. As for the stupid viewpoint, not to mention the famous people and great men in ancient and modern China and abroad, let's just say that we ourselves will often appear.

For example, "filial piety comes out under the stick", such as "rich women raise poor children", such as "life and death have fate, wealth is in the sky", such as "you can't lose at the starting line", etc., in fact, there are many views that are our traditional concepts and misunderstandings.

Speaking of which, none of us are stupid, but just the article "can't lose at the starting line" has scared many parents and desperately pulled out seedlings for their children. Why do we make such mistakes? It's because we don't test it by observation and practice, we just take it for granted. And taking it for granted is a breeding ground for stupid opinions.

Aristotle was asked, "Do women have more or fewer teeth than men?" The answer to this question is very simple, if you count the teeth of a man and the teeth of a woman. However, instead of doing this, Aristidus thought that he could know without counting, and he got the problem wrong.

Wrong views can sometimes be harmful if they are not corrected. Going far from the road is not just an idiom, it's a lesson. If you get it wrong, then your actions will be at odds with your purpose. A friend of mine read in a tabloid newspaper that diabetics eat more pumpkin. However, he doesn't consider that the pumpkin itself contains sugar. Diabetics can't eat more sugar. As a result, eating too much pumpkin not only did not make his condition worse, but worsened.

We often misjudge some things, express some wrong opinions, and even have some prejudices because we see that the information is not true, or our memory will be wrong, or we will be too confident. I posted an article yesterday called "Things Are Not What You See", which is about this phenomenon. The little angel only saw the truth with his eyes, but he did not see the true meaning of what the old angel did. Therefore, he didn't understand the old angel's approach very much, and it wasn't until he listened to the old angel's explanation that he understood the old angel's good intentions.

To avoid foolish opinions, we must try to trust very reliable information as much as possible, rather than listening to others. After a few transmissions, the truth of a true sentence is greatly reduced. For these words will be added to the emotions and meanings of many speakers.

We need to avoid stupid opinions and mistakes, look at things scientifically and objectively, and not be biased against others. Even if we inevitably have stupid opinions, don't be stubborn and willful, listen to others with an open mind, and don't let your beliefs go beyond what the evidence can prove.

Don't think that because you have a higher education or a higher position, you must be smarter and correct than others. To convince others with reason is to convince others with the right point of view. If the information and opinions you put forward for others are often correct, you will be convinced by others.
