When the internet commentary is awake, the dawn will come

Last night, Shuanghuang lian "sealed the gods". The quiet night stirred, and a voice shouted, "Buy! buy! buy! ”

This morning, Shuanghuang Lian walked down from the altar again, and it was cold in the high place, and it was estimated that it felt cold itself.

Shuang Huanglian must have felt aggrieved, and "sealing the gods" was not what he wanted, that is, he was "created a god" by people who were crazy to turn information, and were resolutely rushed to the pharmacy by people who got up from the warm bed in the middle of the night.

The idea of a book called The Ragged Crowd is a footnote to this behavior:

The masses have no discernment and are therefore unable to judge the truth or falsity of things, and many views that do not stand up to scrutiny can be easily universally endorsed.

Not good at reasoning, so it is easy to be instigated; it is easy to be coerced by the group, so it is easy to do stupid things.

But if you think about it a little, it is not difficult to find that the rush to buy double yellow even is just a representative, and there are many jokes like this because of the irrational psychology of the public. There is not a paragraph on the Internet that says that these days, some people have seen that everyone has begun to grab salt again, and they can't help but sigh, this time I can't join in the fun, because the salt grabbed during the last SARS has not been eaten.

It is said that people cannot fall twice in the same place, but whenever it comes to a critical time, many people are always repeating this action and falling. What's the problem?

The first, of course, is anxiety. It is true that at the moment when the epidemic is more severe, even the best channeling cannot completely soothe the anxiety and uneasiness of the public, so this is the time when the group blindly follows the consciousness and is most likely to be restless, at this time, stirring up a pool of "muddy water" will become very easy.

The second is the medium Boxing. Compared with SARS in 2003, it has now entered the era of mobile Internet. There is too much information and content overload, and our "receiving system" will inevitably be short-circuited.

Then there's impetuousness. This is a popular social mentality at present. "University" said, quiet and then can be safe, safe and then can be worried, worry and then can be obtained. This is a whole set of kung fu, and the most frightening thing is impetuousness. But now everyone can't calm down, when there is no epidemic, it is the same, I feel that my heart is noisy, and when it comes to the matter, it will naturally be cut and messed up.

Finally, it has to be said that some people lack the ability to reflect. Confucianism speaks of the "Three Virtues", that is, wisdom, benevolence, and courage. Among them, courage is the courage to reflect on one's own body and the courage to change. If you make a mistake, you are not afraid, and if you are afraid, you are afraid of "passing by". It doesn't matter if we follow irrational action once, but it is not appropriate to follow the "coaxing" again and again.

Fighting the battle against the epidemic is a people's war, each of us is a warrior, if we want to win the war, we must first be sober-minded and not confused.

Thoreau said in walden that dawn comes only when we are awake.
