Marked thinking (1)

? Tagging refers to that people stereotype or classify someone or something into a certain category in order to explain a thing, and generalize it with the concept of * * *, so that people can understand things quickly.

"Tag thinking" refers to the solidified judgment of all people and things experienced or seen. The limitation of "tagged thinking" is that it is easy to draw conclusions based on someone's group identity, which will easily lead to the deviation between cognition and reality. This phenomenon has been everywhere and penetrated into all levels of society.

? The formation of labeling may be because our ancestors had to chew words repeatedly because of the inconvenience of writing tools, which reduced their physical strength in lettering, and because of the melodramatic nature of literati, they survived and formed an expression habit.

? Of course, there is no doubt about the benefits of language and writing. We only analyze its negative effects on our thinking, which is inseparable from language and writing. Therefore, language and writing have a great influence on thinking.

? First of all, labels are our generalization and explanation of things. Tagged expressions are often idioms, proverbs, abstract concepts and so on. He is limited by objective factors such as time, place and scene, and the limitations of labeling are as follows.

? At present, the amount of social information is overloaded, new thinking experiments and new concepts emerge one after another, and people need to pay attention to many things. It is difficult to think about things (concepts) carefully. Due to the development of consultation, the voices of many big coffee and experts (including the so-called "big coffee and experts") are easy to spread, and the popularity of concepts is inevitable. Moreover, due to the lack of understanding of professional basic knowledge, cognitive bias will be caused.

? As mentioned above, due to historical reasons, the expression of characters has been changing and explaining, such as ancient interchangeable characters. Among them, it is often not the original meaning, but also the reasons for understanding and the wide application of dialects. , will cause ambiguity in understanding.

? For example, people who have no long-term worries will have near worries. Many people understand that "foresight" and "near worry" are juxtaposed, that is, it is either this or that. In fact, the original intention is causality, that is, if you have no long-term worries in the future, there will inevitably be endless worries at this stage. Another example: the original intention of "Derby" in the Derby War is not the meaning of the same city. Think about the ambiguity caused by these in our lives?

? Another phenomenon, such as the curse of knowledge, can also cause unsatisfactory expression of words.

Simple application of causality can also lead to arbitrary cognition. Now research shows that everything is not determined by simple causality, and some people even doubt whether there is a simple causality.

? Due to historical reasons, the concept is marked by stages and the historical concept has limitations, so it is biased to compare the past with the present.

? As we know, redundancy of information is an explanation of concepts. Because it is a concise statement, redundant information is often ignored.

? Reflections on the comparison between image and category. There are no two identical leaves in the world. When we express a concept, the receiver will process things (concepts) from new combinations according to his own understanding. It can be said that any concept is more or less alienated by different people.

? Man's cognition is only his personal understanding of things, and due to the limitations of cognition, it often leads to narrow cognition. Just like the explanation that * * * enjoys the economy, the previous hordes and the existing * * * enjoys cycling, which seems to have failed to touch the essence of * * *.

? After people have an understanding of a thing, most of them will constantly strengthen their existing understanding to find reasons for adaptation, so as to consolidate and strengthen this view to make it more convincing, and also to show their personal meaning (humanity, not derogatory), which is also a phenomenon that the popularity of concepts will inevitably lead to. But it will also block people's feelings to a certain extent.

? Subjectively, it is because some ideas have replaced thinking. Logic defines a concept as "determining its connotation, including all its extensions." But because our knowledge system is too subdivided, the overall grasp of things is even more lacking. As information circulation, the concept is more concise and more conducive to communication. However, some unimportant information will inevitably be discarded, and if effective speculative thinking is not carried out, the limitation of conceptualization will be caused.
