It is said that "Under the Gaslight" is the earliest prototype to describe the phenomenon of control psychology and PUA. Contrary to the impression of most people, most of the manipulated phenomena are constructed by the active participation of the victims. And step by step towards self-destruction, the perpetrator seems to be only gradually inducing repeated judgments and isolating the environment. The most terrifying thing here is that every self-judgment and feedback from the interaction with the environment is generated by the self and the environment. Sprouting and taking root, every self-examination and doubt is infiltrating this yet-to-be-grown devil flower. Judging from the recent suicide of Peking University girls, this phenomenon should have little to do with intelligence. Is there a more profound and fundamental primitive psychological structure in it?
Why are people afraid?
I want to make two points. First, knowledge anxiety, this is a phenomenon that will only appear when civilization develops to a certain level. In today’s era of knowledge explosion, various disciplines have deconstructed our cognition of the inherent world, and the results of these disciplines are formed in today’s world. A balanced power structure affects today's life at all levels. People seem to have to make the most correct and efficient choices in the narrow time channel. Of course, only those experts and scholars can advise ordinary people about these related knowledge. , so people will be anxious about knowledge. Second, horror movies, are people really afraid of those ghosts and ghosts who dance with anger? I always feel that these styling factors only account for less than 10% of a good horror movie. I have an experience. If the horror movie is really ugly, I will take it out and take a closer look at the makeup techniques or sound effects of these ghosts. . All horror movies can probably be summed up in one sentence, an inaccessible town (island), a bizarre murder case, and an unknowing young couple. After watching too much, it is not new, so what is it that attracts the audience? To sum up, the first is isolation. In the story, you are completely isolated from the outside world and face the fear of running the world alone. For example, in "The Shining", not only a closed island is created that is isolated from the world, but also the distance from the camera to the characters is always It is to maintain a kind of distance. The second is the fear of unexpected factors, the fear of unknown stimuli in an unfamiliar and uncontrollable environment. The stimuli of this song can be a house, a labyrinth, an island, isolated after a meteorological disaster that has not been encountered in a hundred years. architecture, or more abstractly, the force of nature in the theological sense. The third point is that even though the historical materialism has developed to this day, people have never given up the pursuit of divine power, and the explanations that science can explain are limited. Therefore, aliens, astrological divination, five elements and gossip, and dream interpretation can still be popular today, and civilization has developed to this day. People change the world with rational minds and supreme action, but people always seem to have a tendency to self-destruct, this tendency refers to attachment to gods, demons, some will, some mysterious spirit, life Impulses do not really find a place to rest until they have been coronated in some sort of ritual.
As if to sum up? ! ! !
Forget it~
