An unchallenged paradigm

We have a very mysterious ability: when people create new paradigms (rules) and are accepted by more and more people, paradigms have life. It is no longer at the mercy of others, and it has become a rule that people unconsciously obey.

These rules, models, paradigms and styles have been formed for a long time, and they may also come from the hands of someone, such as the etiquette system founded by Zhou Wengong, which people still abide by today.

After the paradigm is formed, it represents authority, it restricts and modifies the behavior of generations, and imposes prestige on everyone who has "interests" associated with it. These people will be suppressed, controlled and manipulated by it, and there is no room for resistance.

A person who lives in a paradigm does not need to be fully aware of the paradigm that constrains him. As long as he follows the rules of paradigm, he can reach the top of the circle step by step.

People who inherit the paradigm will strictly abide by the rules of the paradigm, and they will not allow others to violate it. One of the important reasons is that the paradigm has great rationality and convenience.

Compared with the barbaric period without paradigm, the mature paradigm fills up a lot of embarrassing situations in maintaining the relationship between people. Mature paradigms also have the fastest and most stable ways to train people's abilities.

Therefore, the greatest significance of paradigm is that it can ease the relationship between people and help people grow rapidly. At the same time, it can also help us to distinguish between "superiority and inferiority". For example, there are tutors, students, professors, academicians, paper norms, periodical norms and so on.

The benefits of paradigm may not be understood by people, and it is certainly not necessary to recognize these benefits, because normal human activities do not need to mobilize too much brain thinking. The only thing to worry about is whether I violate the rules of the paradigm.

People who break the rules are often kicked out of the circle of glory they wish to enter, completely snubbed, and even reprimanded, using words to show that they do not belong in the circle.

For example, scientists like to denounce those "unprofessional" scientific researchers as private scientists, which is an insult rather than a compliment. Not only are they unprofessional, they may even be immoral.

There is an incompatibility between different paradigms. But when we peel off their external forms, rules and styles, they have a lot in common in essence.

For example, when we strip off the style and form of a popular science book that pleases the public, it expresses something similar to the scientific monograph in the Temple.

But in reality, they have an "enemy" relationship, which may only exist in the minds of some people, but it is destructive enough.

Therefore, here we have reaped another great rule: we should fully respect the traditions, rules and paradigms that have been formed, otherwise we will suffer more or less, especially when we want from them or confront them.

Paradigms are not easy to perish. Its vitality is so stubborn that it can constantly change its content to meet new needs. For example, although customs are inherently archaic in nature, in this changing era, or jumping to different regions, it can change its face.

Without a huge event, or a person of great prestige, it would be extremely difficult for the old paradigm to die on its own. Therefore, wars, revolutions and celebrities have the ability to "change customs and customs", and it is difficult to change anything in daily trifles and challenges of small potatoes.

At this time, the paradigm is likely to destroy the individual's advanced and regulated creativity, and there is always a lack of "bohemian" and broad mentors in life. But no matter how difficult the individual's detachment is, or whether there is a result or not, this kind of behavior and initiative are worthy of our praise.

The paradigm has not only the good side, but also the destructive and repressive side.
