Different ideas and opinions

It has been almost a year since I joined toplanguage Google group. There are really a lot of people with ideas in it. I hope you can participate in it, and you will surely get a lot of results. One of the posts I saw tonight is reprintedArticleThis article uses the information theory-entropy probability to explain the views of outsiders caused by the transformation of good people and bad people in life. The analysis is very concentrated and incisive. I will repost it on this blog to warn myself that I will think more often. Only by thinking more can I become a thoughtful person.

Effect of changes

A very interesting thing. We often make such judgments. A bad guy always does bad things,But when he suddenly did a good thing, our views on him may change immediately,He will forgive him for his past and greatly appreciate his good deeds,That makes him a good person. On the contrary, a good person has done a bad thing,We often only see this bad thing, but we turn a blind eye to the previous good deeds,He thought he was a bad guy, and even thought that he had done good deeds in advance.

for example, in the novel "tianlong Babu" , tufan guobiao mozhi and Shaolin fangzhang took the lead as eldest brother. as we all know, the former is almost a big devil, and it is no evil. As a monk, it should have been six clean people, but he was dedicated to the Buddha, but he took a group of men everywhere to look for challenges. it makes rivers and lakes restless, the tianlong temple of Dali Duan's has no native day for him. what is the final outcome. In a dry well, the military power of JIU mozhi is exhausted. instead of thinking about winning, go back and read his story. Duan Yu has forgiven him, and everyone has forgiven him and thought that he has been corrected. the previous work was written off, and it was not a shame. Let's look at the story of the leader. 33 years ago, the leading eldest brother received a message, and the Liao Dynasty attacked Song dynasty. As the saying goes, the world is booming, and the husband is responsible, not to mention the monk of Shaolin. as a leader, he led a group of heroes from the rivers and lakes to stay at the Yunmen gate. the arrival of the Liao army. But at that time, only ordinary Qidan people were waiting. We know that people in the Central Plains may never see people in the Liao Dynasty due to information blocking. the tragic scene happened, which created Qiao Feng's tragic life. This is one of the mistakes. Second, the leader made one of the Buddhist precepts. he had a private affair with ye Erniang and gave birth to the imaginary bamboo. Let's not look at the reason why he did these things. it's even a bad thing. He has done two bad things in his life. But he did a good job. he did not mention it directly in the novel. However, from the title of Shaolin Abbot, he should be a good guy. So what is his result? Shaolin Abbot was killed by vomiting blood.

Simply put, if a bad person does a good job, all his bad things will not be punished,On the contrary, he won a lot of praise for this good thing. And a good person, doing bad things,Not only is all his good deeds not recognized, but because of this bad thing,He gets much more severe punishment than the bad guys do the same bad thing.This looks unfair. It is also a good thing. Why are the bad guys doing different things?It is also a bad thing. Why are good people doing different results? Buddhism has clouds :"". For those who are evil, they have the heart of Buddha,You can become a Buddha. It is time for the pimozhi to establish a Buddha. But the Buddhist rules and regulations have been said again,You must be punished and even be severely punished.The monk like Shaolin's Abbot seems to be unable to become a Buddha, and may go to hell.We often use idioms, "careless, all lost", "a treasure of a thousand miles, an ant nest". Good thing, as long as there is a little flaw, it is no longer perfect,It is not even as bad as it is.All the signs in life indicate that we look strange,Unfair tendencies. Some people may say that human nature is evil, or that people are selfish,Or people are pursuing perfection.

In fact, when we remove these subjective factors,When we regard good and bad as the same thing, we will find that,We don't actually pay attention to the good or the bad, But we pay attention to from the good to the bad,Or from bad to good. That is to say, we pay attention to the changes between good and bad,Rather than the good or the bad itself.

Such a fact can be explained by entropy in Shannon's information theory.Assume that a transaction has two statuses: {S1, S2 }. When it is in a certain state S1,Then the probability P (S1) = p1 at the next time will be very large (It may be set to 0.9), but the probability of being in S2 is P (S2) =P2 will be very small (P2 = 0.1), then the entropy of event S1 is H1 =-P1 * log (P1) = 0.04 (take 10 as the base, originally take 2,I did not calculate), S2's entropy is H2 =-P2 * log (P2) = 0.1.Apparently H1 <H2. that is to say, when this transaction is still in S1 at the next time,Its entropy is very small, and the information it brings is very small, so its influence is very small,Therefore, few people care about this. On the contrary, when it is in S2,Because of the large entropy, it has a great impact, so everyone will pay attention to this matter. The story above will return. The probability of pimoo's intelligence getting better is very small, so,Once this small probability event occurs, it will bring a sensation,That is, people ignored what he did before and appreciated this behavior.The leader, however, has a low probability of doing bad things,When he does something so bad,He suffered far more severe punishments than the average bad guys.

By extension, we do not just do good deeds but do bad things. Generally,Think about how we attract the attention of others.Do you want to do something special. For example, if a person is reading a book,I want him to have dinner. How can I do this. I called him out loud, and he noticed me,Now I can talk about eating. Here, I shouted at him about this,It is different from what I did before (for example, I am reading a book,In addition, it has a much lower probability than reading a book. You may ask,Why do I have to do the same thing in the next time than in the previous time?The probability of emotion is small. It can be explained as follows: inertia.Objects always tend to stay in the last state, so this will happen.

So, at first glance, it seems unreasonable or even unfair,In fact, it is quite in line with the laws of nature. Understand this,It will no longer be confused by unexpected events.As in the Internet era,It's just a small probability event to get a sensation,For example, if you drop out of school to start a company and become the richest man in the world, how can you become famous overnight...Most people do not. A good life is true.

PS: 1. Shannon is the founder of information theory and a norm in the computer field.His entropy theory is the basis of today's information processing.
2. Wavelet ),It is widely used because it is good at processing Local signals and processing information changes. It actually reflects people's tendency to pay attention to abnormal changes.
