"The Internet system has increased the difficulty of distinguishing the authenticity of information and brought mankind into the so-called "post-truth era", but this cannot be a reason for wanton harming others."

After the movie is over, we can go back to what we said at the beginning of the article. The Internet has accelerated everything, and today's information dissemination efficiency has reached the peak in human history, but each individual's intelligence, conscience, and speech attitude have not become better because of 3G upgrading to 4G, and in the upcoming 5G era, Nor do we see any possibility of collective evolution. You don't know if this is a tragedy. Stupidity, gullibility, lack of reasoning, inflated sense of justice, and easy incitement to violence have themselves been chronic ailments of mankind for centuries. If it is said that in the past, most of them were only lurking in small towns like "Hunting", then when information began to spread rapidly across regions and time and space, it became easier for tragedies to occur, and the volume of violence would also become infinitely large. This hugeness is no longer confined to one town or corner, but to every corner of the virtual world, and then projected into every inch of reality. Even, this has become an opportunity for some people to do evil. Like the parents who spilled cosmetics on their clothes to act as bloodstains, accused teachers of corporal punishment, and the parents of the bear children in the swimming pool in Deyang, who fabricated facts to attract online violence in order to destroy the doctor who was the victim, there are too many similar things. . The reason why they succeed in doing evil is simply because in the dissemination of information, many people have long been accustomed to go beyond verification and thinking, and only rely on a picture, a sentence, and some seemingly firm one-sided statements to determine a certain thing, convict someone. Among these people, there are a considerable proportion of spectators who are willing to act as moral thugs, justice experts, and volunteers for the diffusion of human conscience. They hide behind virtual IDs and tap the keyboard twice to force another look. Empty Lucas. For these people, Fitzgerald's quote "Whenever you feel like criticizing someone, remember that not everyone has the advantages you have" is no longer an excuse. The Internet system has made it more difficult to distinguish the authenticity of information and brought mankind into the so-called "post-truth era", but this cannot be a reason for wanton harm to others. Teacher Luo Xiang has said it countless times, and sometimes it is often "simple justice" that creates a hell on earth. Of course, there are some idiots you can't control. They have developed a deep relationship with the keyboard, and they have sung the song "Three Lives and Three Worlds on the Pillow" with their emotions. They have spent more than ten years on the Internet absorbing violent words and developing enthusiasm. I have long been accustomed to demanding others with the standards of saints and demanding myself with the standards of sluts. Also, you should never expect their conscience to find out. The only thing you can pray for is that in your lifetime, you don't get shot by the hostility that stretched out from nowhere in the jungle, like Lucas, and get caught in a snarl and scream. It's all wrong to suck. And, don't be one of those blind punches.
