Chapter 325
Compared with the "information cocoon/room" built by algorithms on various social networking sites.

For personal social interaction, "cocoon rooms" similar to those in the information space may also exist.

There is a special term for this kind of thing in the previous life called "social stratosphere".

Behind the idea of ​​"social stratosphere" that looks like "information cocoon/house", there are no technical means such as algorithms and big data.

However, there are still specific reasons for its formation.

According to the conclusions of people in previous lives, the reason for the formation of the "social stratosphere" is nothing more than two factors:
The first major reason is naturally the individual's subjective preference for information;
The second reason is the "social circle" around everyone.

Personal subjective preferences for information are easy to understand.

After all, turnips and vegetables have their own love.

Some people use a certain tone every day, while others are almost insulators of the byte system.

And what does it mean when it comes to the "social circle" around an individual?

As the saying goes, birds of a feather flock together, and people are divided into groups.

In the real world, people will always get close to like-minded people consciously or unconsciously, and keep a respectful distance from those who have "three views that do not agree with each other".

And in cyberspace, people do pretty much the same thing.

With the help of network technology and subjective choices, people will also tend to choose information that is similar to their own views, while rejecting information that is opposite.

The above approach is almost a social preference engraved in human genes.

This practice of dividing groups of people with different ideas into far and close groups eventually led to a relatively isolated "social stratosphere" around everyone.

"Stratosphere" was originally a concept of the atmosphere, and it first referred to the stratosphere in the atmosphere. In the stratosphere, the atmosphere basically maintains horizontal flow, and there is less vertical flow.

The flow of information around people in the "social stratosphere" is very similar to that of the stratospheric atmosphere.

There is a lot of horizontal flow of information, but little vertical flow.

Although there may be a lot of information in contact, it is basically quite limited.

There is nothing wrong with people in the "social stratosphere".

After all, according to the habits engraved in human DNA, there is nothing wrong with associating with like-minded people.

The problem is that whenever we have self-doubt, the most instinctive reaction is to use the people around us as yardsticks to measure our own ideas and behaviors.

The existence of a social "stratosphere" is likely to make this measurement invalid, thereby blocking the process of personal reflection.

People often say that "the authorities are obsessed, but the bystanders are clear." When we are confused or uncertain how to make a judgment, we often choose to listen to the opinions of those around us.

However, under the influence of the "stratosphere", it is difficult to say that the objects we can listen to are "bystanders" in the true sense.

Their ideology, knowledge structure, and perspective on problems are likely to be highly consistent with those of the questioner.

Communicating with "one of us" who is also in the "stratosphere" is like talking to yourself in the mirror.

This is undoubtedly quite dangerous.

For a specific example, refer to the head of a certain blessing sect in the previous life.

But it is hard for a normal person around to imagine that there will be a speech on the financial summit.

Tucao financial policy at the financial/financial summit/conference?

It's mentally handicapped to think about it.

And as a person who exploits all kinds of financial loopholes, he crazily complains about the lack of financial rules.

It's a joke in the world, and it's different from picking up the rice bowl to eat and putting down the chopsticks to swear at others.

It's far away, these are all things from the previous life.

The current head of the Fubao faction is still quite proud of his childhood.

Speaking of "social stratosphere".

Lin Hui found that it may also be in the "social stratosphere" at present.

Why do you say that?

At present, Lin Hui's social circle is very small.

Basically, Huang Jing, Eve Carly and a very limited number of people.

These people are very similar to Lin Hui's growth experience and some related concepts.

Lin Hui feels that Huang Jing and Eve Carly's ideas, knowledge structure, and perspective on issues are likely to be highly consistent with his.

Also because the social circle is relatively small.

It also caused Lin Hui's channels for obtaining information to be too limited.

Lin Hui discovered that after his rebirth, he obtained information other than from some public websites.

Basically, they get news from a limited number of people such as Huang Jing and Eve Carly, and they basically don't get news from other people.

In this way, it is hard to say that Lin Hui is not in the real "social stratosphere" and the "information cocoon" on the Internet.

How to break the "cocoon room"?
For Lin Hui, the key point of this question is not the cause of the "cocoon house", nor the nature of the "cocoon house".

In the final analysis, it is because of Lin Hui's straightforward and strong "information anxiety" as a reborn person.

Especially as a person who aspires to be a superior person, Lin Hui is not willing to be at the mercy of others in terms of information intake.

It may also be out of this mentality.

The more Lin Hui understands concepts such as "information cocoon" and "social stratosphere".

The more you worry about whether you are already in it, and the more anxious you are about it.

As for how to break this dilemma?

The ancients said: "If you listen to both, you will be bright and if you believe, you will be dark."

How to break the information cocoon and social stratosphere, perhaps what Lin Hui has to do is to use the wisdom of the ancients.

Lin Hui believes that the single or one-way information acquisition method and interpersonal communication method are largely the main reasons for the formation of "information cocoons" and "social stratosphere".

In this way, Lin Hui felt that if he wanted to avoid the above-mentioned dilemma, he needed more information channels.
