piecemeal thinking

The deeply shocking documentary uses the Simpson case as a clue in 5 episodes, and integrates factors such as the American judicial system, racial discrimination, police abuse of power, class, American sports culture and so on. Moreover, when displaying, it can adopt the perspectives of different people, so that people can accept and think in a similar and objective way. Regarding the American judicial system, the article with the most likes on Zhihu has already explained it in great detail. The following are my thoughts during the viewing process. With emotional factors, it is inevitable to be biased. First of all, it is very, very important to know how to create a topic. Even if there is no topic, it is very important to take advantage of the situation. For example, in the debate, the defense lawyers have been playing the emotional card, shifting the blame from the most fundamental issues to the most racial conflicts. And people are probably such stupid and cruel animals that they forget the simplest reason, forget the problem they were supposed to deal with (whether they are guilty or not), and get lost in a bunch of emotional manipulation stories and fantasies. I also slowly understood two sentences. One is to make money by exploiting the weaknesses of human nature. This sounds low, but it is a real and feasible way. And helpless, because everything is so realistic that people cannot accept it emotionally. Second, the importance and significance of the debate. In the whole process of proof, the two sides dismantle each other. From the most ideal perspective, it is to exclude all possibilities. From the dark perspective, it is to seize any possibility and shape you into other forms. This is not just a trick of debate, stealing concepts and emotional control, so the art of language is powerful, but what is even more powerful is the full understanding, control, destruction and reconstruction of human nature. Debate sessions may open up your different godfathers on things, but they can also become a means of emotional and factual manipulation, and does the group have the ability to discern? Oh, by the way, the first characteristic of the group analyzed in "The Crowd" is low IQ and easy emotional manipulation. At the same time, when the debate has entered a pointless stage, what is meaningful? evidence! evidence! evidence! However, evidence can also be turned into an exploration of whether the evidence is true, returning to the debate again, an endless loop. After reading "A Brief History of Humanity", I felt extremely depressed and shocked. What a smart and cruel group, it was able to force all the other groups under the human race to extinction. Maybe we still hope to find light in the dark, but the extinction of other human genera is still a question, which is left for more thinking. However, human beings have also created a lot of beauty, laws and religions; however, no matter how beautiful the DNA of hundreds of millions of years, it will occasionally get out of control. Hone your mind, be patient, it is better to ask for your heart.
