In wechat Reading, this book is classified as a psychology class-a introductory classic. It's a study of mass psychology. Some of the information in it is a little arbitrary, especially don't like the author's disrespect for women, but in the author's time, this thought should be very normal, before reading the book "What Do Philosophers Do", many philosophers in it are disrespectful to women. Another intermittent read the book, but fortunately, this time a little side to see while thinking.

1. In the author's opinion, a group is a group of people who have a clear goal and are stimulated or influenced by the same thing to get together. This kind of group is called a group.

2, group of individuals in the population because, by dint of, feel invincible, also because of the many will think you won't suffer to punish, they feel myself into the group, and belongs to the group, and group of nameless, so you can need not responsible for, personal sense of responsibility will disappear completely, become unruliness. This sentence, deeply agree with, like a demonstration, if a single person out, he dare to do so? With the protection of the public, some things that we dared not do before are now done. When we do bad things, we will think that the law does not blame the public.

3. Exaggeration and simplification of group feelings. Once the group is implied or infected by the feelings of some leaders, these feelings (opposition/antipathy/support) will become more and more fierce, which makes the group do not know how to doubt and will not hesitate, and something that should arouse suspicion becomes irrefutable obvious facts. In fact, some social speech is through this manipulation of us, thinking that I am also a very easy to be fooled masses, encounter things are basically unable to think on their own, basically everyone is there, I will fall there. On zhihu before, see a problem, said father accuse games ruined his children, before it opens at did not comment, I thought for a moment, I feel father's charge is quite reasonable, but I point card, find the following one-sided, father didn't education good children, not to the right guidance, excessive addicted to cause to a child, I thought for a minute, Also, a knife can cut meat or kill people. How can the blame be on the knife and not the person who uses it? There is also the affair of the dirty photo gate, which was not one-sided blame Edison Chen before, but now there are gradually different voices, I now have no too much comment, of course, before I did not comment at all, because I did not know the existence of this thing. To avoid easier fooling, you might just have to think more and spend more time alone

4, about education, it attacked the current education situation, put students in the classroom, artificial training, for mechanical cramming education, work too hard, don't think about their future, don't consider they want to adult, to adult responsibilities, regardless of the young people will soon enter the real society, implementation, you must accept or resist the surrounding social environment, In interpersonal struggle, one must defend oneself and stand firm. This kind of strong will and spirit, our school does not give them. Thought for a moment, only occasionally feel sense, learning more than ten years, 6 years primary school, high school six years, the university four years, learning all the time, probably because not enough diligence, completely don't know what I have learned, after graduation, he found himself all not, what all don't understand, before you learn things can't be used, a completely real and ideal gap is so big. How many college students choose to commit suicide because of too much pressure. However, for this reason, the subsequent study will be more purposeful, focusing on a small range of knowledge points. Of course, no matter what, or to thank the country's nine years of compulsory education. Learning is not useless, it is useful when it is put to use.

5. Groups are irrational; only individuals are rational. So when you want to persuade a group, don't use reason, but use their emotional side. When I was a child, my school would always invite some people to give speeches about family love, which always cheated me a lot of tears in the past. They just used some small stories to replace those dry truths, and then touched my heart. In this way, they tricked me into buying their books. Exasperating oh! And the boss those ah, and you play emotional card, remember to keep a little bit of reason, of course, I so weak chicken, also round not this opportunity.

6. The group lacks a dominant opinion, and the general belief disintegrates. As a result, there is no unified view on anything, and the public cares less and less about things in which they have no direct interest.

"At first, they came after the communists. I'm not a communist. I don't talk.

Then they came after the Jews, I'm not a Jew, I don't speak;

And then they came after the union members, and I'm not a union member, and I don't talk;

After that, they came after Catholics. I'm a Protestant. I don't speak.

At last they came to me, and there was no one to speak up for me any more." This is exactly what I fear. The recent Three Primary Colors, Wang Pan and nanny arson cases used to be sensational, but there was no follow-up. It is precisely because people are becoming more and more indifferent. And every idea has a very short life span. Some things are lost before they can be spread among the people. Especially the current deletion of posts, delete hot spots, forced to buy water army whitewashing, coupled with the indifference of the masses, fear that some dark corners of the world will never see the light, also fear that one day, I will enter the dark place, but can do nothing.

In Le Pen's opinion, the masses are all imbeciles, and there are many things in reality that can reflect and confirm this view. He thinks that he is also an irrational person. If he does not want to be fooled by those in power and leaders too easily, he can only think more, enrich himself more, and leave some opportunities to be alone so that he can maintain a little sense.
