"The Rabble" is 800 words after reading
The author of The Rabble is the French social psychologist Gustave Le Pen, who is the founder of the psychology of group infiltration. The book was written in 1895, more than 120 years ago. However, the book is still an extremely best-selling book, which shows the value of the classics.
The second half of the book is much more interesting than the first half, because the first half is mostly a description of the characteristics of the group, while the second half deals with the causes of the group and the characteristics of different groups.
My favorite part is the genesis of group LX, the genesis of OxCB. The author argues that groups of people are often extreme, which is consistent with our general impression. Whether it is a political LX or a business LX, they are often very stubborn, paranoid, like to go to extremes, hate MZ, and like to go their own way.
According to the authors, the most important factor in becoming a group of LX is – career success. A paranoid person, unless you succeed, people will recognize your style, otherwise, everyone will think that you are wrong. The success of the cause caused the fame of LX, and the fame led to the superstition of the group about LX, which in turn produced OXCB.
The authors also argue that the three main means of mobilization for OXCB are: assertion, repetition and contagion. Seeing these three means, I suddenly thought that the same is true of the three major means of advertising and marketing.
To assert is to draw conclusions without explanation, without reasoning. Directly say that your opinions and actions are right, and your product is the best. Repetition is to constantly emphasize the group, or xn.
The number of repetitions increased, and everyone seemed to accept it unconsciously.
Contagion is to let LX's opinions spread among groups and emotions are contagious.
The author believes that a nation, as a group, has its own group psychology, which can also be called national characteristics, which are manifested in cognitive consistency, special customs and habits, etc. Ethnopsychology has a certain inertia and inertia, and it is not easy to be changed. This probably explains why in the past 100 years of the New Culture Movement and 71 years after the founding of New China, many concepts and consciousness of the Chinese people are still difficult to change, which is the group psychology of our Chinese nation, or tradition.
When the author talks about the parliamentary group, he talked about the characteristics of the group earlier in the book, and the IQ of the group is often lower than the average of the group, so the IQ of the parliamentary group will also be lower than the average IQ of the parliamentarians. But the author still argues that although the efficiency of the parliament will be low, and the decision-making of the parliament will not necessarily be better than that of the individual DCZZ, this is the price of the MZ, which is the best form of the MZ, even if it is not perfect.
After reading this book, I have another feeling, that is, read more classics and read more famous books.

For a small article every week, I really racked my brains, orange juice, and watermelon juice, and I had to work hard to write about recording life. This week, I would like to share with you a book - "The Rabble".
This book has a very strange point of view that is a little different from everyone's normal thinking view, this book believes that the power of a group of people in a group will be weakened relative to a person, the wisdom of a group of people will decline together, and a group of people in a group will be more likely to transmit negative energy, and many facts are cited. When people look at it, they immediately feel that there seems to be some truth. Today's society still advocates the idea that more people are stronger, and this book is also from a negative perspective to illustrate, a psychology of the public, for example, everyone has heard of the idiom that three people become tigers, one person says and you say, see a tiger on the street, you don't believe it, when there is a second person and you say that he saw a tiger on the street, you may hesitate a little, how he is the same as others say, when the third person says that there is a tiger on the street, you are really doubting, whether there is really a tiger on the streetWhen a bunch of people are talking about the tigers on the street, and you believe that you have joined in, this is the "mass effect".
In fact, there is no tiger on the street, but everyone gathers together in a group to discuss, and a tiger appears on everyone, in contrast, the masses give themselves the power to believe, so that their wisdom is blocked, and they become ignorant, in fact, there is no tiger on the street. This example shows that when a group is together, they are more likely to produce negative energy than positive energy, so this book jokingly calls the masses a rabble. Even the world's most brilliant and intelligent people cannot escape the "claws of the masses".
Compared with what we believe in life, you are an independent individual, with independent thinking ability and intelligence, but when there are some groups around you, constantly denying many things you think, and constantly criticizing many things, you will slowly become the same as the group, stupid. It is actually more difficult for individuals to get out of the mud without staining, which is more interesting in psychology. Phenomenon, everyone is a social animal, it is easy to be together, and it is easy to be influenced.
It is indeed difficult to maintain one's heart, and it is difficult for even great people to get out of such a predicament, let alone ordinary people?
To sum up, if you want others to agree with your concept or other things, first you can find some support, and keep saying how good these things are in front of others, and naturally, you can achieve your goal. This is also something that is more interesting in psychology.
As an aside, it may be that I haven't read a book for too long, so in fact, I don't read this book very well, I often read the back, forget the front, and my concentration is not enough, so I need to strengthen my reading ability. In addition, I have been dreaming about it recently, dreaming that I am gradually losing some abilities, and I can't describe it in the dream, but also, many abilities are originally used in and out, and I don't need to be unfamiliar or disappear, so I should quickly let myself jump out of this comfortable circle and work hard for myself.
