A few days ago, Li Ziqi posted a video on the Internet, titled "The Life of Turnips".
With radish as the protagonist, she introduces the process of radish from sowing, growing to harvesting, and finally being made into dried radish, pickled radish, sour and spicy cabbage, sauerkraut stewed pork steamed dumplings.
The idyllic video continues Li Ziqi's consistent style, but this time it has attracted a collective climax of Korean netizens.
The reason why Korean netizens are angry is simply because they think that kimchi is Korean, and Li Ziqi, who is a Chinese, cannot make a video of kimchi.
As a result, Li Ziqi's video was stepped on more than 30,000 times, and more than 6,000 Korean messages were left in the comment area, almost all of which were insults and attacks:
"You think we'll make kimchi yours by doing this?" Remember, kimchi is a traditional Korean food! ”
"It's really reached the point of disgust, why has China not changed?" Do you like our Korean culture so much? ”
There are also all kinds of people who criticize the Chinese system, slander Chinese society, insult Chinese culture, and scold Chinese in a yin and yang manner, which makes people's blood pressure soar.
Outrageously, from the beginning to the end of the video does not reflect the problem of the ownership of kimchi, but this group of Korean netizens is like a cat with its tail trampled, jumping to its feet.
Moreover, if you really want to argue, in the earliest collection of chinese poetry, the Book of Poetry, there is a word for "菹", which is what is called sauerkraut today.
During the Northern Song Dynasty, because the great scholar Su Dongpo liked to eat kimchi, his hometown of Meishan, Sichuan, in honor of him, called kimchi "Dongpo kimchi".
In the Qing Dynasty, the folk of southern Sichuan and northern Sichuan also used kimchi as one of the dowries, which shows the status of kimchi in the lives of Chinese people.
To this day, 99% of South Korea's kimchi imports come from China, and even the South Korean media have directly called "Are we still the kimchi suzerainty?" ”
Korean kimchi has been influenced by China since ancient times, but many Koreans are like frogs at the bottom of the well, as if they were pickled vegetables, they invented it, simply ignorant and arrogant.
Zhu Xia, the host of Liaoning TELEVISION Station, was very shy: "In the northeast, kimchi is a saucer, and it must be withdrawn when serving the main dish." ”
"Those who are rude and insult their neighbors, but they can die, and if they don't understand, they should learn more Chinese, after all, your first law is also written in our Chinese characters."
In the eyes of uncultured and extreme people, it seems that the world is only black and white, immersed in the state of "Lao Tzu's invincibility under the heavens" all day long, unable to extricate themselves, unwilling to open their eyes to see the wider sky.
And the more ignorant and shallow people, the more extreme and vicious the accusations against others, the more powerless they are when they come to the end.
From this incident, I saw how terrible uncultured people are: the more ignorant, the more confident, and the more stubborn they are.

There is a particularly subversive scientific proof that you should never argue with the ignorant, because they really don't realize their ignorance.
One day in 1995, a strong man named MacArthur robbed two banks in broad daylight.
Inexplicably, he didn't wear any mask or disguise, and just walked in with a big swing.
As a result, the robber was quickly apprehended.
When he watched the surveillance video given by the police, he was extremely surprised and said very unconvincingly: "I obviously smeared lemon juice on my face!" ”
It turned out that the robber thought that the acidity of lemon juice could make him use it as invisible ink, and when he applied it to his face, it would disappear into invisibility.
Only when lemon juice encounters heat, it will oxidize into brown, revealing the information.
Therefore, he took it for granted that as long as he did not go near the heat source, he could be invisible and would not appear.
This story like a paragraph is actually a real thing, which makes people feel again with great precision: what is the more ignorant the more confident.
The scientific community has a proper term "Duck Effect", which is used to describe this phenomenon:
The more stupid people are, the more they will overestimate themselves, the more they feel that they know everything and believe in it.
On the contrary, those who are very good often have a clearer understanding of their own cognitive level, and they are more humble and more cautious in expressing their opinions.
It's like a paragraph on the Internet: Boys with different salaries, what are they thinking before going to bed?
With a monthly salary of 5W, I think about my specific and clear problems in my work and the value I can create in the workplace.
Those who earn 2K a month often feel that they know everything and that the world cannot do without him, and they wantonly express their opinions on the international situation.
In this information age where anti-intellectualism is rife and muddy, many people often look at a bit of knowledge and mistakenly think that they have become experts.
It's so real.

Sadly, however, people who have no culture but are still unwilling to learn make up the majority of the population.
Blogger "Kidney Beans and Rain Beans" once said that she had dinner with a big guy who was doing online literature-related professions, and chatted between meals.
She said that her mobile phone often pops up some anti-intellectual novels such as "the princess hung at the city gate for three days and three nights" and "The lady cut two kidneys".
The big guy smiled slightly and said: Do you know that the companies that operate these things can easily flow tens of millions of dollars a month?
There are a large number of small-town youths who frantically pursue such brainless novels, so that the companies that produce such novels are full of money.
You will find that more and more platforms are aiming at the sinking market:
Romance novels give birth to 7890 treasures, and the princess is hung on the city gate for 3 days every day, but the number of such novels read has reached hundreds of millions.
Many young pregnant women, even if they have confirmed the sex of the baby, go to take the so-called "transsexual pill" in order to give birth to a boy.
As a result, some innocent children become "intersex" after birth, some have kidney loss, lifelong infertility, and some have serious physical defects.
Internet celebrities live broadcast with goods, always take quarrels as gimmicks, and do not hesitate to act to attract attention, just to let fans who watch live broadcast place orders.
Shoddy performances and hypocritical abuse, but can always touch millions of uncultured fans "family", selling hundreds of millions of yuan in transactions.
The vicious advertisements of the former servants and successors like to use the vulgar routines of "flight attendants fall in love with the poor and ugly" and "two women rob a man".
Because advertisers know that users in the sinking market like to watch these dog blood farces the most, the more vulgar the better.
Derek Bock, the former president of Harvard University, said something very reasonable: "If you think the cost of education is too high, try the cost of ignorance." ”
Not reading, immersing yourself in this kind of bad taste and low-level entertainment every day, the price is to be treated as a green leek, crazy harvest.
However, this group of people who are trapped in the information cocoon do not realize that they have problems at all, they are even less thinking, more paranoid, unable to accept contrary opinions, thus increasing the polarization of the group.

2 pieces of advice for you who want to live a more sober and rational life in this era of smoke and miasma information cocoon:
(1) Quit confirmation bias.
Darwin, a biologist who always carried a notebook with him, forced himself to record observations that contradicted his theory within 30 minutes.
He knew that after 30 minutes, the brain would actively "forget" the rebuttal evidence, selectively forgetting, and fall into "confirmation bias."
What is confirmation bias? That is, when any new information conflicts with our existing theories, worldviews, and beliefs, we instinctively repel it, even if sometimes we know that the new information is correct.
Just like the group of Koreans who attacked Li Ziqi, they refused to admit that the world was really like, blindly increasing prejudice and blind spots.
If we don't pay attention to reminding ourselves to avoid making confirmation biases, we become more and more likely to be self-righteous and self-contained.
(2) Cultivate hierarchical thinking.
What is hierarchical thinking? It is a hierarchical, hierarchical way of thinking.
In his book "The Most Important Thing", investor Howard cites the cases of first-order thinking and second-order thinking.
First-order thinking: "This is a good company, let's buy stocks." ”
Second-order thinking: "It's a good company, but everybody thinks it's a good company, so it's not a good company."
The valuation and pricing of the stock are too high, let's sell the stock. ”
This is not the same as Buffett's sentence "I am afraid when others are greedy, and I am greedy when others are afraid".
First-order thinking can be done by almost everyone, because it is simple, direct, and rapid, but it is often not profound, complex, and systematic.
The higher the class thinking, the stronger the thinking power, the more qualified to make the right decisions.
Therefore, we can learn to cultivate the habit of thinking at several levels, do not rush to conclusions when things happen, and can ask ourselves questions " And then what? ”
Thinking more about time, space, and more will make us wiser.
