yesterday wrote an article about "anti-intellectual thinking". Some people said that it was too general and did not reflect the specific form of expression. Today I will talk specifically about three manifestations of anti-intellectual thinking.
First, only look at positions, not facts.
Positions and facts are a wonderful pair of factors. How to view the relationship between positions and facts is particularly important.
Regarding the relationship between positions and facts, the ideal state is that the positions and facts are consistent. For example: Xiao Ming's family was bullied, Xiao Ming stood on his own family's side and helped vent his anger, beating the other person severely. No matter from the standpoint or from the facts, Xiao Ming's counterattack is defensible.
What should you do if your position is inconsistent with the facts? For example, Xiao Ming's family bullies a weak person, and the other party comes to ask for an explanation. Should Xiao Ming confront the opponent from the perspective of his family, or should he criticize his family from the perspective of facts?
This is only at the personal level. If it is enlarged to the corporate or national level, how to balance the relationship between positions and facts?
I think both should be taken into consideration. For example, in terms of Sino-US relations , we must safeguard the interests of our own country and at the same time recognize the facts. Just because the two are not in the honeymoon period, we cannot completely deny the other's advantages and give ourselves the illusion of winning.
If you only look at your position without looking at the facts, you get psychological pleasure by bragging about yourself and belittling others, and you attack and abuse those who propose "seeking truth from facts", this is anti-intellectual behavior.
Seeking truth from facts does not mean admiring foreign things, but using reason to face and catch up with gaps.
Second, be ruthless on the inside and gentle on the outside.
learned deeply about the power of populism in the country through the Russia-Ukraine war. Some people were bullied online just for expressing their opinions that they did not like Russia. And it is a large-scale language violence led by someone.
These people have never been to Russia, do not know the true attitude of Russian people towards the Chinese, and have never used high-tech products such as cars, computers, and mobile phones made in Russia. But I have a natural affection for Russia in my heart, and I firmly maintain this affection. Anyone who dares to damage Russia's image in their hearts must attack them in the most vicious way. The slogan "shoot to kill" was even put forward.
is extremely friendly to Russia, a country he has never met, and extremely vicious to compatriots living in the same land and of the same race. This is a standard anti-intellectual thought.
Some people talk about attacking foreign countries all day long, but when facing Russia, they directly weld their knees to the ground and cannot stand up. I remember that Russians are not the same race as us.
Third, they only shout slogans but do not do practical things.
Some people are calling for the cancellation of English learning, and at the same time calling for China to develop lithography machine , shield machine , chips, and computer systems. Without English as a basic subject, how can we engage in these high-tech research and development. Should I use the mouths of trolls?
Regarding the matter of serving the country, some people only make idle remarks, but ask others to invest their entire lives. Pointing to the pancake stall on the roadside and asking him to develop chips, otherwise he would be unpatriotic and a capitalist who exploits the people.
They tried their best to ridicule private enterprises and private entrepreneurs, and were submissive to central enterprises and state-owned enterprises. They did not even dare to let loose a p, for fear of alarming the big boss.
Shouldn't companies with the prefix "国" take the lead in high-tech? If private enterprises are given the same treatment and support, look at whether they are creative!
Some people shout false and empty slogans all day long, without doing anything practical, and point fingers at people who do practical things. Is this considered anti-intellectual behavior? If anti-intellectual ideas are allowed to grow wildly in society, there will be no development.
Regarding the specific behavioral manifestations of anti-intellectual thoughts, I will update these first, and then summarize and continue to update.
