In fact, before the commentators who have always liked to play Wang Defu in the magic capital, such as the talented girl Liang Jing's "reading comprehension" appeared, there was another school of commentators in the imperial capital, who began to tout "The Rabble".

That's right, these commentators are basically "imperialist" or elitist politically, and they have always had reservations about Ye Liqing's "The Best Democracy", believing that democracy is not that reliable at all.

Therefore, Shen Yangchun, a famous writer of the Beijing School and an academician of the Chinese Academy of Social Sciences, actually stood on Wang Defu's side, which can almost be regarded as the voice of the royal family, because Shen Yangchun has been a teacher for many members of the clan.

Shen Yangchun commented on Wang Defu's "Rabble" in the "Royal Daily"——

The book is not strictly a scholarly work, but in an age where ideas are increasingly being formatted and instrumentalized, such penetrating texts are well worth reading and re-reading.

"Most people are always right" is a misconception that we often have, because we unconsciously doubt ourselves in the face of public opinion...... (More than 1,000 words omitted)

When the individual is integrated into the whole, we do become more selfless and more sacrificial, but at the cost of a loss of rationality and a sense of responsibility.

Because judgments are made by everyone, and individuals are not responsible for the consequences, groups are more likely to adopt extreme solutions, become more narcissistic, and more violent, leading to crises...... (500 words omitted, giving an example of group violence)

"Public will" gives us the meaning of existence, but also gives us absurdity, gives us passion, and gives us stupidity. We were surprised to see that a council of professionals often made ridiculous decisions that were discussed by a group of illiterate people, which is a strong case that the so-called "group IQ" is very unreliable, and may even be lower than the IQ of the individual.

Voting to prove that scientific judgment does not work, and even if everyone participates in the opinion, it may not lead to the correct result.

So, how do you get beyond the "circle illusion"? Wang Defu didn't give an answer, but I think it's a great thing that he was able to find such a question......

……

Shen Yangchun wrote a long review of about 3,000 words for "The Rabble", which was very objective on the whole, not only pointing out the shortcomings of this work, but also giving high praise to the problems raised by this work.

As a senior in the literary world, a famous writer who has also made great achievements in the field of education and has been famous all over the world, this long review by Shen Yangchun has undoubtedly made the work "The Rabble" further attract the attention of people in the literary world, and Wang Defu's fame in the imperial capital has also been greatly improved!

Then Wang Defu's other works, of course, have also been noticed by many literati in the imperial capital, even the most critical readers must admit that this guy named Wang Defu was born out of nowhere, and his literary talent is really convincing!

However, there are some writers of the Beijing School who still have a view of the door, and they feel that Shen Yangchun's behavior is simply an enemy, how can he praise Wang Defu like this, his long comment is almost denying Ye Liqing's "The Best Democracy"!

In fact, it can also be seen that compared with the distinction between Beijing and Shanghai writers, the political stance of some writers can be said to be the most important, and the so-called ass decides the head, which is not just a casual talk.

This Shenyang Chunke is a very hardcore "imperial party", and has always had a lot of opinions about those radical democrats, believing that they are one of the factors that lead to the instability of the country, and such democratic authors should be severely suppressed!

Now that there is a genius author like Wang Defu and such a work that has caused such a great damage to radical democrats, then of course he Shen Yangchun does not mind pushing it hard.

When Shen Yangchun, the big man in the literary world of the Beijing School, made a long comment to the magic capital, Wang Defu's reputation undoubtedly rose to a higher level in the literary world of the magic capital!

It's just because many Shanghainese writers feel that Wang Defu has really won glory for the Shanghainese writers this time!

The previous famous young writer Ye Liqing, how great his momentum was, and the "Best Democracy" was so menacing, that many Shanghainese writers had to admire Ye Liqing's attainments in the field of sociology.

Of course, this field is not what Shanghai-style writers are good at, Shanghai-style writers are even better at writing about the wind and snow, and it is simply difficult for them to write works that have profound ideas and can inspire the public!

But in such a situation, the birth of the genius writer Wang Defu has simply filled the gap in this field of the Shanghai School of writers, and the "Wen Feizi Literature Award", which originally seemed to be a literary award reserved for writers of the Beijing School, is undoubtedly beckoning to Wang Defu!

If Shen Yangchun's evaluation of Wang Defu is relatively objective and conservative, then the evaluation of Wang Defu in the literary circle of the magic capital is very exaggerated, which is obviously building momentum for Wang Defu!

"The Rabble" is undoubtedly the pioneering work of group psychology, and all actions that require large-scale mass participation, such as politicians inciting the state to madness, business circles inciting group buying, and media inducing the will of the people, must have made use of Wang Defu's ideas, and many programs of action were formulated with reference to Wang Defu's group psychological analysis.

Therefore, "The Rabble" is not only a must-have book for psychological researchers, but also for experts, scholars and workers in other fields. For example, the explanation of criminal groups and the criminal tendencies of groups in the book will also be of great help to people who study criminal psychology and legal practitioners.

The Rabble will also be helpful for people who are engaged in or studying political economy. There is much to learn from the book's research on the psychology of voter groups and parliamentary groups. ……”

That's right, the literary circles of the magic capital can't wait to continue to blow Wang Defu's work into the pioneering work of "group psychology", and if a pioneering work like this wants to compete for a literary award, there is almost no suspense!

There is no doubt that the influence of this book will radiate out from the literary circle, and it will be recognized by many sociological researchers.

Wang Defu's book is a well-deserved masterpiece, and he describes the collective mentality with great precision.

This book has a lasting impact and is a must-read for researchers of group behavior!
