We all look forward to a kind of tacit communication. The topics that each other expects from each other will miraculously be consistent in future communication. We think we have found our soulmate. In fact, if we are not special Deliberately pursuing a particularly unfamiliar topic, such a sense of fit is easily established during communication, but we do not notice it effectively.
This is because there is an expectation effect in our cognitive system, which is the expectation and prediction we have established for something from top to bottom. If the subsequent information conforms to this If there is a pre-emptive expectation, we will confirm it immediately. If this expectation is not met, there will be a sense of frustration in the middle, causing difficulty in identifying new things. Therefore, it is said that expectations are strengthened and recognition of reality, and reality is Recognition, in turn, strengthens our expectations for something.
If you need frequent two-way communication in a professional field, and the topics you communicate are very professional and regional, then such an awareness can be easily established, for example In the teacher industry, when students have never had a meeting, many teachers know where they will encounter problems, what kind of problems they come to you with, and what kind of expectations you have for you. ? This is a more accurate psychological prediction function established after repeated expectations and feedback on current affairs.
Therefore, all telepathic connections are only established by accurately receiving feedback under a certain information density, which strengthens related functions in the cognitive system.
These information that can lead us to form predictions come from our lives, from the above in language, from the influence of the previous event, and from our previous judgment of a certain person. Its advantage is that it allows us to recognize quickly, but the trouble it brings to us is that we also lose our sensitivity to new information. Even if valuable information appears, it may not be able to touch our hearts.
For a fleeting visual information, if we retain it for a long time and become a long-term memory, and become the basis of information that can be recalled in the future, what we need is to strengthen it many times in the brain, and predict it. After being judged and being affirmed, your information has been strengthened. In other words, we like to use visual presentation to connect a word with specific things to complete the interpretation of a word. The less difficult this interpretation is, the higher the relevance of its appearance and the easier it is to be remembered and perceived. If you can build multiple reinforcements, the message will have a more profound impact on you.
For example, when you mention the Man-Han Banquet, it may trigger his free association. He can think of scenes from "God of Cooking", a sumptuous banquet, or the movie "Man-Han Banquet" If the word contains the face of a famous actor, the word will be retained in his memory for a longer period of time, which will affect his prediction of relevant information in the future.
What’s more interesting is that he will freeze the speaker’s current state into a picture or a dynamic event, and connect it to his experience, so people with strong thinking have the ability to perceive the sense of pictures. It is also quite powerful. His memory will be very good. He has a unique perception of the positioning of space and rules that seem difficult to grasp, such as art and music, because this is what it creates. This kind of representational connection, this personalized representation, gives them more artistic creativity.
In fact, representation is the most primitive and basic process for us to understand the world. We capture the information of the world and represent it into some features, which can enter our memory system. It is the steady stimulation of something we see, hear, or feel.
Therefore, anything that can be represented must be related to the old perception. Only when the correlation is established can the stimulus be stable and be perceived by us. And this layer The information cannot rise to the level of semantics and meaning. Only when we continue to process it and bring it into the middle of the real scene can we obtain its interpretation, understanding, judgment and picture conception. On this basis, we will carry out further abstraction and embed it into existing knowledge systems to form our advanced logical thinking and abstract thinking system.
In fact, including any discipline that seems to purely study logic, the bottom layer is actually figurative thinking. As we gradually develop, the language used in communication must come from our specific words. In life scenes, only through multiple layers of abstraction, we cannot perceive the connection between certain abstract words and reality. For example, the word itself seems to have no corresponding relationship with real affairs. It is an extremely single explanation of the relationship between things, but it actually comes from many opposing substances in our lives and from our The experience of judging dangerous information comes from the combination and induction of certain things in our lives, and from certain specific lessons in our lives, which define the connotation, boundaries and extension of specific things for us. This kind of research and abstraction of relationships teaches us to first put specific things into the same level to understand and compare, and this classification, comparison and stratification constitute our logic.
Why do we find many contradictions when we explain many things simply through logic? It is because in specific scenarios, logic can only explain things at this level, and the richness of life is far greater. More than a simple logical relationship displayed on a simple level.
Logic can provide stable input and output, but there are many problems that we cannot figure out the logic model because it is mixed with too much uncertain information and too many features that have not yet been fully understood. It can be identified, but it is mixed with too many temporary ways to use logical formulas to prove wrong hypotheses, so logic is not applicable in this process.
So when we understand the limitations of logic and the rules generated by logic, we know how to face everyone truly. Our interpretation of things is through a self-healing appearance. to form its meaning. And use this as the basis for the next step of abstraction. Therefore, we know that there are many opinions in this world, and our opinions that do not seem to be in line with your own judgment of reality have become very popular, but we still have to restore this kind of opinions to communication scenarios and return to specific people. , to see a complete person. His expression was a mixture of scenes that occurred in the middle of the process, and at which level his language stayed. The contradictions he failed to clarify were errors caused by failing to establish accurate logical relationships at which level they resided. And be able to cut a piece out of it and communicate. What's more important is that in addition to logic, what we have to face is a larger perceptual system, which is directly related to a person's emotional state. This is the core communication factor that we should pay attention to.
For example, if you are discussing a topic with a friend and he tells you that French is the most beautiful, accurate and best language in the world, then you have to prove that English is more beautiful in pronunciation than him and German is more accurate than him. , will cut off the robe and cut off the righteousness. This is a topic that is always logically impossible to convince the other party, because you cannot quantify some standards of this topic at a certain level, establish some stable elements, and present logical relationships among these elements.
So if you need to give up logical tit-for-tat at this time, you can discuss the subject that is the vaguest in language and can best provide imagination and pictures. This subject is poetry. If we restore the artistic conception of the scene described in each sentence, then different poems can bring us the same imagination, and after completing this different imagination, we actually put each other in the same place. The relationship is established with a certain poem. At this time, a sense of intimacy is established, instead of an opposition in language and logic. At this time, what is experienced is a baptism of emotion and imagination.
We will no longer argue about who is right and who is wrong, but will reach mutual recognition. When logic can constitute recognition and can be quantified, we will clarify the premise and explain it with logic. For some divergent questions For open-ended questions, what we want to establish is a unique picture association, which constitutes a mutual sense of familiarity between people, and is the higher-dimensional purpose of any communication we do. The meaning of our communication is to make the world better as soon as we open our mouths. Logic makes you smarter, but knowing the boundaries of logic makes you more intelligent.
You must know that this world may not really belong to logic. What our world needs is a broader dimension, such as the connection between people, which is the most primitive, sacred and greatest connection. It was produced before language and logical thinking. If we can respect this connection, we will not be like the exchange on the Tower of Babel. We always think that we are reasonable and correct, but we can never produce any real people. Delighted to collaborate.
