Just like a blind man touching an elephant, different people will feel what an elephant looks like when touching it.
Therefore, when we study and practice hard in society, the most important thing we need to improve is how to analyze a problem comprehensively, objectively and deeply.
To borrow a phrase from Charles Munger, in order to analyze problems impartially, we must master the thinking modes of many different disciplines.
For example, some time ago, this round of national policy of limiting electricity and production was widely discussed in the society. Different people will have different opinions.
From the laborer's point of view, he will think that I can work for a few more days this month and get paid for it.
From the entrepreneur's point of view, he will think about how to use electricity at the wrong peak and try his best to maintain the normal operation of the enterprise without violating the policy requirements.
From an economist's point of view, he will doubt whether this round of power cuts will lead to a sharp rise in the price of upstream resources, which will lead to an increase in domestic PPI and whether it will face the risk of inflation in the future.
From the perspective of the people who eat melons, he will feel that there will still be a shortage of electricity these days, really, but as long as it doesn't affect me to turn on the air conditioner and watch TV.
You see, because of different personal positions, the way of thinking and the conclusion are completely different.
For hard-working people, their lifelong pursuit may be to constantly explore the truth of the world, better understand the laws of social development and operation, and thus guide themselves to act according to the rules that meet the requirements of morality and law.
Next, let's see if we can better analyze this event if we master the multi-disciplinary thinking mode.
Combined with the mathematical thinking mode, we will definitely pay attention to the specific figures, how big the electricity gap is, how many enterprises are affected, and how long it will last, and then quantitatively analyze the impact.
Combining with the thinking mode of biology, we will definitely wonder whether this policy means the survival of the fittest, those enterprises with high energy consumption and high pollution will be shut down, and green and energy-saving enterprises will be encouraged to develop rapidly.
Combining with the thinking mode of sociology, we will definitely think about the value of high-energy-consuming enterprises to society, whether it is really necessary to develop these industries locally, whether other industries will benefit from it if we restrict the production of enterprises, and whether these workers can get better income and treatment.
Combined with the thinking mode of psychology, we will definitely wonder whether we will change our behavior after this lesson, such as controlling capacity investment and building our own power generation equipment.
It can be seen that we should look at the problem from several different angles in order to form our own unique views and avoid following the trend.
