One's greatest misfortune is to form a low-level cognitive closed-loop too early. What is cognitive closed-loop? It means that people are constrained by past experience in their vision and judgment, and it is difficult to come out again. It forms a set of logic for their own interpretation of the world, which contains right and wrong, love and hatred, and human feelings. No matter what moves the world has, he only uses one move to deal with it, and stubbornly believes that this move is the ultimate move in the world.
The portrayal of this kind of people is a particularly stubborn one around us. They use a set of methodology they have learned to cycle and demonstrate all the problems they encounter, and they are completely unaware of it. Just like living in the high wall of inherent cognition, the longer you live in this world, the more you will understand the surrounding environment, and the more fixed your cognition will become. Then you will continue to self verify and strengthen your judgment of the world, and the wall will become taller and thicker. If you live in it all your life, you may still feel very comfortable. But if you want to come out, or if someone breaks the wall with a hammer, overturns your understanding of the world and pulls you out, you will become very anxious and panic. In order to get rid of the cognitive closed-loop, we must knock down the surrounding walls ourselves. How to do that?
1. The simplest, most economical, and probably the most effective way is to learn more about the models and frameworks of the world. Look from books and read some books that are slightly difficult. Books are used to cut through walls and steal light until we knock down the surrounding walls.
2. In addition to reading more and knocking down the surrounding walls, go out and see more people, see more and listen more. Our cognition and thinking are largely determined by the environment and circle we live in. After being in the same environment and circle for a long time, your cognition will be easily solidified and assimilated by the environment, and you will gradually become unaware of other possibilities in the world.
People can't break through the blind area through existing cognition, because past experience and past cognition have limited their ideas. The breaking of the blind area of cognition is usually self initiative and can be achieved through external force. So you have to change the environment, including living environment, communication environment, interpersonal circle, and acquire new knowledge from multiple experts, including new career, new ideas, and new ideas.
