Know-what are the drawbacks of long-term access to fragmented knowledge?

All the information you receive constitutes your way of thinking.

So, the consequence of long-term access to fragmented information is to make your thinking narrow and difficult to think in complex ways.

?

Fragmentation information typically has this feature:

? They are often a collection of facts rather than logic.

? They often simplify the process of deduction

? They tend to simplify multipathing to a single path

? They are often not rigorous and comprehensive

?

In short, fragmentation information is often a significant reduction in cognitive costs in order to achieve easy-to-acquire purposes, and the most obvious way is to simplify complex things. they often only tell you what's on the surface, but they don't tell you what's behind it, and how it relates to other things.

?

What we call "knowledge" consists of two parts: one is "fact" (or "idea") and the other is "connection". The fact is that one point, the connection is the point of connecting the line, they constitute the network, is our knowledge structure.

?

"Facts" determines the breadth of your knowledge, and "contact" determines the depth of your knowledge. If you know the connection between things, even if you only know ABC, you can also according to the internal logic of the three, the DE, or even F, this process is called thinking. But if you don't understand their inner logic, even if you know ABCDE, you're not going to get F-you don't know how to put them together, and you don't know what kind of inner logic they can show after putting them together.

?

This is the drawback of fragmented information. When we accept fragmentation information, we are actually expanding the "facts", but not adding "connections." In the end, it will make our knowledge structure a floating point graph: a solitary knowledge point floats in all positions, but lacks a network that concatenates them in an orderly fashion.

?

The result is:

?

1, fragmentation of knowledge through continuous fresh content, constantly stimulate your brain, so you always in "Ah!" And know the new things, "The joy, so difficult to extricate themselves, which is why we can not suppress the brush micro bo, brush the cause of the circle of friends, because we only need to pay very little, you will be immersed in" get new things "stimulation inside.

?

2, however, the information obtained, because they lack of "contact" with other information, so it is difficult for us to "extract", and "extract" the less content, will be more extracted content squeezed at the bottom of the memory-therefore, these fragmented information is extremely easy to forget. You think you've got a lot, but you don't get anything.

?

3, the previous article has said that our knowledge network, determines how we think. So, the long-term acceptance of fragmentation information does not improve your ability to think-your "network" is not expanding, or even harmful- you have become accustomed to using isolated knowledge points to see the problem, accustomed to a layer of two layers of thinking, difficult to carry out five layers, six layers and even deeper analysis of things. Over the A-while, you will weaken your ability to think about complex things.

?

One thing to note here: Fragmentation of information is actually not much related to the source. If you are accustomed to accept "a is b", "c is bad", "because A so b" simple concept, then, whether you are in the brush microblogging, or reading, watching the public class, in fact, accept is fragmented knowledge.

?

I have mentioned before in a question of "What is the smart way of thinking": The way of thinking of a wise man is, in fact, a simple three-word: meta-cognition. the same problem, the more intelligent people, will think about the background, reason, rationality, necessity, possibility, etc. of the problem. They will look at the problem in a higher level, making it easier to find a line that links it to an inherent "idea" in the distance, thereby expanding their network of thinking.

?

So, if you have such a sense, then in fact, whether to brush Weibo or reading, can avoid fragmentation of cognition.

?

The specific way is:

?

1, first spend a little time, to establish their own knowledge system. Comb through what you already know. How to comb it? As you can tell the influence of a certain point of knowledge, and its effect on other things prevail. With this knowledge point, this network is the knowledge network you have built.

?

2. Find the contact point of the Knowledge network. A point of knowledge that is of interest to you, but not yet explored and understood. When reading and learning, consciously touch the knowledge of these contacts and extend your knowledge network.

?

3, when exposure to a new knowledge point, first consider how to integrate it into the knowledge system. Think of your knowledge network in your mind and how it can be linked to what you already know.

?

4, if the corresponding point is found, good grasp path. That is, the new knowledge point, and the path that has been known to a point between the clear, clear, connect them together, so that the knowledge point to become your new "contact", expand your network of thought.

?

5, inspection and output. Clarify the connection between the two points. The simplest way to do this is to teach others the knowledge by dictating and writing articles. Or, tell it in your heart to see if you can speak it clearly and without obstacles. The only thing that can be exported is what really belongs to you.

?

6, does not conform to the above method content, decisively abandons. If a thing cannot be incorporated into your cognitive system, it means that you cannot master it now, so be decisive and give up because it is worthless to you, or that the cost is much higher than the benefit.

?

A few more things to talk about:

?

1, reading without the pursuit of "read a book", but should pursue "from the book to obtain something."

?

The contents of a book cannot be 100% useful to you, there must be something you are not interested in, there is something you can not accept, it's okay, accept what you can accept. You don't have to read it all. It's also a good way to read half of it, put it back, and jump on another book. Reading should be used for oneself rather than let oneself to indulge it.

?

2, how to deal with the micro-blog, the knowledge of the interesting pieces of information? Personal advice, the best way is to use them as a starting point. If you think a knowledge is very interesting, take it as the starting point, to explore the rationale behind it, the background, the application, to check the information, Google, the clues. This point of knowledge itself is not of great value, and valuable is the process of you to explore. What you have explored to understand can be incorporated into your knowledge system and become part of your mind.

?

3, the above all need a lot of time, but learning this is a difficult thing, so excellent people will always be rare, so-called smart people, but they walk, waiting for the bus, rest and more time spent on this. Besides, is learning itself a very interesting thing? :)

?

Hope is useful to you.
