The illusion blinds us from cheating, it makes us think our economy is a rational system, the market is free and open to everyone, in fact, manipulating the market and the game is a good business, because cheating is only a few people Know.
"Freak Economics", I wanted to fall asleep at one point in the middle (I was tired from starting a business, I had no money to buy an air conditioner, it was all heated, hhhh), but it also means that this also crossed my field of knowledge, it is a little difficult, but fortunately The examples in each chapter are very interesting. Some time ago, I learned about a book called "The Selfish Gene", which is similar in purpose. Rational system vs. the genes of survival of the fittest.
Parents choose names for their children. A good name can make it smooth sailing, while a bad name can lead to bad luck for a lifetime? In the United States, blacks (Molique, Nayshan) and whites (Jake, Mary) have obvious imprints on their names. The survey shows that for resumes with the same content, black names receive 33% less interview notices than white names. It takes 10 weeks to find a job, 15 weeks for blacks with the same conditions, and 5 more weeks to be unemployed. Reminds me of when I was in school, Xiao Ming was always the most popular person in China because he was so busy and appeared in different scenes in the classroom every day.
Speaking of class, have you ever cheated in school? I think that the cheating situation in those days was still like yesterday. I didn’t know whether it was summer or winter. Anyway, it was a Chinese exam. There was a bonus question. I wrote two ancient poems from extracurricular studies. ", the two of us add up to two songs. After sneaking a glance at each other's test paper, we looked at each other, and we tacitly implemented the ⌈ cheating ⌋ knowingly committed in order to increase the score. To this day, I still remember those two ancient poems, which shows how "exciting" that thrilling experience was. There are two funny words in the Japanese sumo world, ⌈ original sound ⌋, ⌈ Jianqian ⌋, the original sound represents the truth, but behind the surface of pleasing the audience, there is actually fraud, if the original sound is revealed, it will cause anxiety, in an extreme situation A state of distrust, this distrust produces disintegration, and these people and institutions at the top of society who represent things hold the rudder of the economic system and control transactions that cannot be seen. If the pyramid is piled up with thousands of dollars. If it is successful, the denomination from the bottom to the top must be higher and higher. I thought that someone said that watching the news broadcast every day is basically useless, and all I know is the "illusion" of being painted.
If a three-year-old child can learn to pee in the urinal, give chocolate beans every time she does it right, and finally she will ask you for candy when she pee, and then she will become a master who can control pee in pajamas; Grade students do experiments, and the monthly test progress will be rewarded accordingly. This project allows an additional 35-50% of the students to pass the ninth grade, and the passing rate increases by 5-7%. I remain skeptical of such an incentive method in the documentary, and I don't quite agree with it. It seems that external incentives are more important than internal incentives. I read "Games Change the World" in the previous paragraph. Games are a unique way to build experiences, arouse emotions, and a powerful tool to inspire people to participate in hard work. Four characteristics of games, goals-rules -Feedback System - Enjoy the excitement and motivation when you volunteer and choose hard work. The state of intense engagement may be more pleasurable than the satisfaction of winning, and the state of flow is fascinating. There is an even greater benefit to the hard fun-packed emotion: fiero, the emotion that originally created the desire to leave the cave and conquer the world, the desire to overcome challenges, win battles, and defeat dangers .
I read the last chapter three times, trying to find out the core point of view the author wants to express, the connection lines of all chapters, and the method of challenging traditional views, but I didn’t see what the method is. This book is of interest. But the book published in 2006, and the documentary released in 2010, some of their points of view don't seem right now, whatever, on asking completely different questions, on things that are known but not what everyone thinks , is instructive, like these two sentences "A thing worth having is worth cheating for", "If you ara not cheating, you are not trying", I'm not ashamed of cheating in elementary school, let's put it another way Think, the world is really interesting.
