As for why we should study history, the predecessors gave a very good explanation, taking history as a mirror, not forgetting the past and not forgetting the future as a teacher, all of which emphasized the role of history as a reference. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ｂｉｑUｇE。 infoIn my opinion, this is based on a very vague assumption: history is a process of continuous reincarnation, and at a certain stage of history, this is not wrong. Even in our country, Luo Guanzhong's self-confidence that he will be divided for a long time is not without reason, and in this affluent and closed super-stable structure, this assumption can be called true. But this is by no means praiseworthy, and it only shows that our social structure is in a simple dynamic equilibrium, and that the rigidity and inevitable destruction it brings are what really deserve our vigilance.

In reading history, there are two important points that must be achieved: one is to grasp enough materials with different viewpoints at the same time, and the other is to have a clear view and viewpoint that is not swayed by the outside world. This requirement seems contradictory at first glance, and it is difficult not to be influenced by the outside world without mastering enough material to think, but it has been influenced in the process. But there is truth to this statement, first of all, it is self-consistent in its logical form, like a closed circle, and this structure is beautiful, and secondly, it requires that our growth be based on constantly denying ourselves, constantly observing the same thing from a higher level, like a spiral, which is also the structure that brings me beauty. To achieve this paradoxical requirement, you need to read a lot of books, refine your core ideas in the process, and treat every reading as a challenge, otherwise your brain will be brainwashed by a sea of ideas, or worse.

First, we should not read history with a preconceived position, but with a point of view. It is not impossible to apply the ideas of predecessors, but there is a premise that one should not assume the natural and absolute correctness of a certain doctrine, and that giving it authority is not beneficial to the progress of thought. In my opinion, the essence of philosophy lies in skepticism, in thinking freely. Some people may think that this is a waste, but I think it is a magnificent picture of natural selection, like Darwin's theory, where all kinds of ideas are produced, and the winner is king, and the development of humanity as a whole is promoted, and there is a certain tolerance for all kinds of heretical doctrines (which will change under the pressure of survival), and this diversity is allowed by mature societies. Once the situation suddenly changes, perhaps inconspicuous ideas will burst into infinite brilliance and become the new dominant in the new environment. This process takes place both in the mind of the individual, which we call growth, and in the social level, which is the academic controversy. Of course, this process is not completely random, only by standing on the shoulders of giants can we see further, who has not communicated with these brilliant ideas in history, and wants to figure out a set of theories for themselves, one can say politely, 99. 9999999% of them are crazy, and the last one is a peerless genius, but geniuses don't do that. Darwin's doctrine is based on a kind of randomness, combined with the correctness of the quantum doctrine, which I admit is correct. But my point is that there are regular patterns emerging in the process of randomness, and that there are non-random laws on the basis of randomness, just as the laws of thermodynamic statistics predict atomic activity as a whole.

Combined with the above, it can be seen that I am not superstitious in materialism, nor superstitious idealism, all kinds of philosophical ideas can only be used by me, not some norms that dominate my thinking, I think the good ones are used, and the bad ones are discarded, and the ideas I have at this stage support my decisions, and I don't need any authority to replace my thoughts, and I don't ignore the naivety, I don't deny growing up at all, who says that I will definitely stay at this stage? But there is no need to help the seedlings grow. That's my point of view, and I've always felt that only this rebellious spirit can enable me to suppress the new ideas of young people as an authority in my old age, and then be defeated by them, which is a kind of reincarnation, and it's interesting to think about.

Second, don't judge the choices of the ancients from the perspective of today. Every era has its limitations, we acknowledge, but to criticize them from today's perspective is even greater. The same can be said between people, where judging the behavior of others from your point of view is itself a mistake. Your experiences, your experiences, your thinking, your opinions, etc., determine who you are, and judging others by them is actually a subconscious hope that the whole world will be people like you, satisfying the desire to think simplistic to a certain extent. But someone else is so different from you that it may be wrong to apply your experience to him (this depends on probability), and remember that the world will never satisfy our hope of a simple theory to explain everything. Reviews are not bad, they are actually necessary. When you comment, remember that your opinions cannot simply be applied to others, and when you are commented, please be selective, because these comments reflect a person's innermost view of the world and life, which is the material for your growth.

So, when a book talks about certain limitations and meanings, as a reference, yes, but I accept that, I'm sorry, I don't accept conclusions that smell so strongly biased. As for my own speech, there is a strong air of bias, and I can only say that it is the anchor point of my mind and the world. Just as skepticism requires skepticism to doubt everything in the end, the correctness and necessity of skepticism must be questioned, and I think this has reached a kind of fulfillment.
