There is such a view. This view believes that humans have greatly improved their knowledge in the development of civilization for nearly a thousand years, but their wisdom has almost not improved. Many people believe that modern people cannot play with ancient people by playing strategy. This belief is also one of the important theoretical basis of the wall-facing plan. But is the wisdom of ancient people really not much different from that of modern people, or even slightly better?

Some people think that our wisdom is lower than our ancestors. Some people lament this way.

In fact, human wisdom is degenerating

In the moment of creation from scratch, wisdom reached its peak, and later it just continued to deduce and evolve

For example, Newton's second law f=ma seems to be a simple formula, but in the moment when Newton discovered gravity, the three laws, wisdom reached the top, and later all research was based on this. It seems that new products were invented and created, but it was actually just the continuous evolution of the results of human wisdom. Standing on the shoulders of giants is actually a kind of degeneration. Adam and Eve ate the fruit of wisdom, and their eyes were no longer chaotic, and they shone with the light of wisdom. The peak of human wisdom was this moment.

God expelled him from the Garden of Eden in a rage, but everything was not over. God consumed human wisdom little by little. The sad human beings did not discover it. They thought that science and technology were developing rapidly with each passing day.

Because humans are just frogs in the well, but God's realm is immortal and eternal, just like Sisyphus pushing a huge rock. All humans can see is the huge rock rolling forward, while God stands above everything, but what he sees is the huge rock that will eventually roll to the origin, and then batch after batch of new generations repeat the useless work.

In a world where the external regulations have become too heavy and the inner motivation of people is useless, what is the possibility of human beings? Kafka cried to mankind with unfinished works in great grief, but how many people have jumped out of the small circle of their lives to truly think about the truth that is buried by time?

Haizi, why are you lying on the cold railroad tracks in the "Walden"? Are you already desperate to see the meaninglessness of people's existence?

The above is a passage extracted from Sina Weibo, and the author is post-yvonne.

.However, to answer this question, we should first understand one thing, that is, what wisdom is.

The word wisdom comes from "Mozi Shangxianzhong": "If this is used to govern the country, then this is used to govern the country by being unwise. The chaos in the country can be known.

Wisdom is a high-level creative thinking ability based on physiological and psychological organs that life has, including all abilities such as perception, memory, understanding, analysis, judgment, and sublimation of nature and humanities. Wisdom is different from intelligence, and wisdom expresses the comprehensive ultimate function of intellectual organs, which is similar to the "metaphysical way"; intelligence is called "metaphysical instruments" and is part of the skill of life.

In our daily lives, wisdom is reflected in the ability to better solve problems.

However, this explanation is qualitative and seems to be clearer.

At this time, a book gave 015 more inspiration.

That book is "Model Thinking", which has a concept, which is the cognitive pyramid. The lowest level of the pyramid is data. Data represents various events and phenomena, such as seeing rain when you go out, which is data. The data itself has no organization and structure, and it has no meaning. Data can only tell you what happened, and it cannot make you understand why it happened.

The upper layer of data is information. Information is structured data. Seeing rain is just data, but if someone counts how much rain has been in Heb City in November 2019, this is not simple data, but information. Information can be used for analysis and interpretation. The upper layer of information is knowledge. Knowledge can organize information and tell us the logical connection between events. Clouds cause rain, and the weather becomes cooler because it rains. This is all knowledge. Idioms, allusions and thinking routines are knowledge. Models can be said to be a kind of advanced knowledge that can be explained and predicted.

The top level of the cognitive pyramid is wisdom. Wisdom is the ability to identify and select related knowledge. A person may master many models, but when it comes to specific issues, which model should he use, and whether he dares to use this model is wisdom.

From data to wisdom, this is a true cognitive upgrade.

If a person is scattered in a daze, only experiencing but not summarizing, all he gets is data. If a person is scattered in a daze, only experiencing but not summarizing, all he gets is data.

Someone occasionally reads the news and knows what happens now, and then he gets the information.

If someone can summarize some rules from experience and learn some statements from books, he will have knowledge.

Why do many people say, "I learned a lot of knowledge but still couldn't live a good life"?

Because having knowledge does not mean having wisdom. If you have wisdom, you will choose which knowledge to use, be able to make decisions using models, and be really brave to execute them. That is the real skill. From data to wisdom, you will find that the more you go up, the more subjective it becomes. Information is a personalized summary. The causal relationship in knowledge is already a subjective judgment. Wisdom can be said to be an art. Which model should you choose? There is no fixed operation process.
