Pseudation Lights | Long Chain Cause and effect, short chain justice and long -term vision

Not long ago, he talked to Professor Chen Jianxiang of educatists about the current basic education. He put forward a saying: Nowadays, people's cause and effect chain is too short. As far as the college entrance examination and middle school entrance examination just passed, we said that many parents and children paid for the high scores were deeply worried. Speaking of the TV series that showed the life of primary and secondary school students since this century, on the one hand, we all feel that there are almost no parents that we can recognize; on the one hand, we all agree that the actual situation is more fierce than the plot. With a new word, it is "roll", which is suffocating. Many years ago, I proposed the three sins of basic education. One of them was that the schoolwork was too heavy, which caused children to sleep for a long time at the stage of long -term their bodies. However, whenever I talk about this with my parents, I often hear the answer: we know what you say, but there is no way!

If you do n’t do this, your child ca n’t test others; if you do n’t take someone else, you ca n’t go to a good high school, or even a high school; you ca n’t go to a good university. This is the short chain cause and effect that Professor Chen Jianxiang said.

This causal chain is simple and naked. If you want to take a good college, you have to have a high score. To score high, the most efficient way is to brush the questions. Therefore, even if you already know that the repetitive simple labor of the problem will destroy the child's creativity, the child's fun of knowledge, and the child's brain nerves will be destroyed; Let the child lose time and reduce sleep time ... so to have to do so, it must be so, "Is there any way?"

Long -term vision of two concepts combined

A few years ago, a sociologist Professor Sun Liping proposed a literally structured concept: short chain justice. This means that judging whether one thing is justice, the chain should not be too long. For example, someone on the street is faint, do you want to help the ambulance? Just consider the shortest chain. That is, a person is fainting and needs help. You provide this help, that is, doing good deeds, just justice. What is the justice of long chain? A person is fainting, it is not so simple. It depends on who this is, why it is fainting, a good person or a bad person, or a good thing to faint or the bad things. According to Sun Liping Considering the long chain, it will never come on the road forever. Because this chain can extend indefinitely. Just like Zhinuo's paradox.

Professor Liu Huajie of the scholar proposed a concept: time scale. Speaking of scholars in different fields to see the problem of different time. He proposed an independent form, engineering technology

Twenty years ago, when I planned for the CCTV's "Vision" column, I asked Mr. Dong Guangzheng, a scientific historian as a guest to explain and analyze a documentary about plants. In the forests of Africa, the seeds of some plants will lurk for a long time. After many years, wait for a large fire. It turns out that those big trees that cover the sky fall down, and the lurking seeds quickly germinate and grow tall to occupy this piece. place. These seeds must be patient and look at the opportunity. If they germinate in advance, they will die at all without seeing the sun. If you germinate late, you will be preceded by other trees. The film also talks about the periodic replacement and reincarnation between the forest and the grassland. In the comment, Mr. Dong mentioned a term: long -term history.

The lurking seeds germinate, and the forest and the grassland are replaced. From a short time, these phenomena are unclear and difficult to explain. Let me combine the two concepts of Mr. Dong and Liu Huajie, called long -term vision.

See the essence from the long chain cause and effect

In the short cause and effect chain of the question, high score, and university, the university is the ultimate link of the chain, and it has also become the ultimate purpose of this period of life. If the school and parents are deeply trapped, the children have nowhere to escape, and they can only compete in the upstream. Just like ghosts hitting walls, "there is no other way." Just like ostrich, "Don't think about anything else first, wait for college to talk about it." In fact, this short chain has been running several times. Entering a good elementary school in the kindergarten; entering a good junior high school in elementary school; entering a good high school in junior high school. Step by step, you will always talk about it again. However, in this process, childhood was buried and youth was buried. The short chain cause and effect lies in the short -term vision, only three inches in front of the eyes. And no time to ask: Why go to college? What is the meaning of alive? Where is the taste of life? —— Don't ask all of them first, let's talk about it when you go to college.

Similar short chain causes and effects can often be seen in other fields. For example, this is the case. There are many Chinese people who need a lot of food, so they need pesticide fertilizers and genetically modified genes. If you say that fertilizer pesticides will pollute farmland and pollute rivers; the quality of food produced by industrialized agriculture is not high; genetically modified genes have ecological risks and safety risks. Among a variety of responses, one is like this: I also know what you said, but there is no way!

In this short chain cause and effect, the output of food is the ultimate purpose. As long as the output of grain is up, even if the farmland becomes a source of pollution, even if the ecosystem is disordered, even if the so -called grain has no nutrition, it is not expected. In the short -chain cause and effect, people will care about their heads, and take the seedlings to promote the way to win as a way to win on the starting line.

From a short period of time, industrialization agriculture is increasing for each step, and each step is solving the previous problems. It seems that every step is the right choice. From the perspective of long -term perspective, it can be found that the increase in production was misappropriated in the future. It can be seen that the marginal effects of fertilizers and pesticides decrease year by year; increased dosage and variety, and it was impossible to reverse the trend of decreased flooring, soil pollution, and output year by year. Judging from the cause and effect of the long chain, pesticides killing "pests" is just the first chain, and the following chains are turned on to "Silent Spring".

Similarly, the consequences of concentrated camps, factories, primary and secondary school education at the expense of childhood and youth need to be seen from a long period of perspective, long chain causality, to see clearly.

Short -chain justice of the current judgment

However, long -term vision is often Zhuge Liang afterwards. The land has been set, the soil and soil are polluted, the eyes are dull, the brain has been dead, and the regret is too late. Time is one dimension, irreversible. Fortunately, Professor Sun Liping also provided a weapon: short chain justice.

When the child is sleepy, he should go to sleep. Sleep when you are sleepy, and it is righteous. To ensure that children's sleep is sufficient, it is the basic responsibility of parents. It is not righteous to force the child to do homework with sleep time, but you ca n’t say that you ca n’t do your job. The fertilizer lets the land end, destroys the living environment of earthworms, kills "pests" in pesticides, and also kills innocent insects. In traditional Chinese discourse, it hurts the world; in terms of Lion Pod's words, it violates the ethics of the land. Short -chain justice, currently judge, no need to wait.

Life is always facing choices. May wish to measure the advantages and disadvantages from long -term vision, long chain cause and effect, short chain justice, and judge right and wrong.
