Thinking about the truth
Base
definition
The core is an equal sign, with the concept on the left and the description on the right.
Require
Necessary: The concept on the left side of the equal sign is necessary
Delete if not necessary
Unambiguous: The description on the right side of the equal sign is accurate and unambiguous
If there is any ambiguity, update it repeatedly until there is no ambiguity.
From different aspects and angles, a concept can have many definitions
How it is defined determines how it will be understood and practiced subsequently.
Every discipline is made up of interrelated concepts, each of which has a precise and complete definition.
Learning is essentially adding many new concepts to our minds
concept table
Database operations (CRUD)
Learning: Create, Update, Delete
Practice: Read
Classification
Set concept: a whole composed of multiple definite elements or concepts
For each concept contained in it, in order to help analysis and decision-making, it is necessary to classify
Require
Not overlapping (reasonable): There is no overlap between subcategories
Not missing (complete): subclasses add up to all
The so-called comprehensive thinking in life ultimately means classifying things reasonably and completely enough.
Such as cause analysis, judgment criteria, considerations, etc.
Compare
premise
belong to the unified category
have the same properties
Dilemma
1. Make random comparisons and don’t care whether the basis of judgment is subjective or objective.
Subjective: indisputable
Objective: can be quantified, can achieve precise comparison, can be given weights and scores one by one, and finally provide conclusions.
2. The basis for judgment can only rely on continuous accumulation and continuous updating.
In more complex and important fields such as scientific research, public decision-making, and business competition, it is more difficult to obtain and use the basis for judgment.
Although simple, the workload is extraordinary
cause and effect
Temporal sequence does not guarantee causality
Four questions
Is A really the cause of B?
If A is the cause of B, is A the only cause of B?
If A is not the only cause of B, what other causes
If A is not the most important reason for B, what is the most important reason?
decision making
The thinking behind every decision in life is the combined application of the four elements of definition, classification, comparison, and cause and effect. Just make breakthroughs one by one.
There are things to pay attention to when considering each element, and there are also some common routines.
Due to different definitions, different understandings, different classifications and comparisons, and different decision-making.
process
Breaking up big things
Make overall plans for every little thing
Coordinate research content
series connection
in parallel
The key to saving time is to connect everything that can be connected in parallel.
Programs are essentially process management with the goal of completing tasks.
All processes can be composed of three modules
mechanical
Sequential: Perform each step in order
The order of steps is important and cannot be omitted
Loop: Repeating a series of steps
intelligent
Judgment and branching: perform different steps according to different situations
Make a judgment at a certain step and then perform different steps according to different situations
The core is judgment
The essence is proper comparison and reasonable classification
The premise is a necessary and unambiguous definition
The essence of doing things is planning and management of processes
Getting things done or improving efficiency is nothing more than optimizing the process and nothing else.
All tasks in life can be managed or optimized by drawing a flow chart after being broken down layer by layer.

Belonging relationship
intersect
with (and)
situations where two or more conditions must be met
or
When only one of the conditions is met
Not
Exclude a condition

Refer to "Writing Lesson"
Compare
equal
Since they are equal, there is no need to compare and can be ignored.
not equal to
approximately equal to
Correspondence thinking mode: analogy
greater than
cause and effect
cause and effect
Related
irrelevant
A very weak correlation is approximately equal to no correlation
Dimensions
The world of cause and effect
One-to-one cause and effect world
Time is a factor that may cause interference
Two-dimensional causal network world
One-to-many, many-to-one, many-to-many
Time is a necessary and indispensable element
The world of three-dimensional causal systems
Cause and effect each other, and then constantly swap, countless moments constitute eternity
Time is an indispensable dimension
unknown
The core goal of human thinking-exploring the unknown
The biggest unknown comes from the future
Predict the future
Thinking about the future is not really thinking at all
Classification and development of logic
Formal logic (4th century BC)
The known can only be derived from the known
Unable to derive the unknown and unable to deal with uncertainty
Probability and statistics (early 17th century)
Use past data to analyze the present, and then use the conclusions obtained to guide the future. The probability of success may not be greater than 50%.
Informal logic (including critical thinking) (1970s)
Not rigorous enough to mathematize
This limits the scale of thinking
Unable to calculate in batches, large quantities, or automatically
Complex systems science (1980s and 1990s)
Refer to "Good Family Education"
All three are oriented to the past
If you want to understand a large number of complex facts and require in-depth analysis, you need a solid foundation in statistical probability.
dawn
Bayes' Theorem: New evidence can be used to revise and improve the probability of a previous hypothesis being correct.
Future-oriented
Gradually improve the accuracy of predictions through continuous iteration
Uncertainty is always hidden in time, and will eventually appear as time goes by. When it appears, everything will fail.
Not only do most people avoid uncertainty, they also develop the habit of refusing to think about it.
Our brains are not enough
It’s not a one-time operation, it’s a non-intermittent operation.
Need to calculate multiple factors simultaneously
Artificial intelligence suddenly breaks out in 2023, and mankind has entered the era of intelligence and the era of violently cracking the secrets of the universe.
Back to nature
analogy
benefit
Extremely magical thinking tools, often used to bridge the otherwise insurmountable gap between the "known" and the "unknown"
It is also the best way to interact between the author and the readers, the speaker and the audience. It will trigger the readers or listeners to think actively and have a dialogue in their minds until they are amazed.
Show connections between things
Special attention is needed
The approximate equal sign rather than the equal sign is usually only used to understand certain/partial attributes.
If the two are completely equated, there will be loopholes in thinking.
usage
In order to understand the unfamiliar X, I will find a familiar A
Find and compare the known A to similar B, C, D, E, or even X, whether they are unknown or not
Ask yourself: Where else can this principle/concept etc. be used?
learn by analogy
develop
complexity science
Core: extremely simple elements and rules, after a lot of iteration, complex results that were originally unimaginable may emerge.
This process is development, and development often has no end
Time is the only path to development
The real key: No one can accurately predict the results that will emerge after a long iteration from the beginning.
Simple
The biggest inspiration from complexity science
Simple × iteration = complex/brilliant
Extreme simplicity × infinite iteration = extreme complexity/unexpected excitement
Iteration is repeated recursively, that is, each time it is repeated, the last output result is regarded as the input content of this time, that is, the new result is used as the initial version of the next iteration.
Development is a simple matter of iteration
be a developmentalist
design theorist
Design theorists who are imprisoned in a one-dimensional cause-and-effect world are accustomed to designing a system for the future, and then from the starting point to the end point, and then planning backwards along time, making plans, and executing plans... But in the end, very few succeed.
Need a certain future and do not accept the unexpected and the unthinkable
But this is always just wishful thinking
developmentalist
Just a simple question - what is more important, you can start from scratch, simple and feasible
Believe in the existence and power of development, rather than in a certain development result
The future is uncertain and should be uncertain
upgrade
operating system
concept table
corresponding cognition
relational table
Correspondence judgment
flow chart
Corresponding action
Regardless of learning, understanding, thinking, and practice, they are essentially performing CRUD operations on these three tables.
Upgrading is to continuously do CRUD
A simple criterion: truly meaningful learning, thinking and practice will lead to changes, accumulation or updates of these three tables.
