Many studies support this hypothesis. For example, a study by Garrett in 2009 found that subjects are more inclined to choose and receive news content that conforms to their political views. Therefore, if there is any "cocoon room", it is only a cocoon room woven by elements of human nature that seek advantages and avoid disadvantages. In other words, the "pot" of closed thinking should abandon the inertia given to human thinking, rather than algorithm allocation.
In fact, we are in an era of information saturation and explosion, and what we are really interested in, even if it is only potential interest, will certainly appear in front of you.
So our real difficulty is not that we are anxious not to get knowledge, but how to resist the knowledge we don't like-contrary to what the information cocoon theory cries out. According to this definition, we can roughly analyze the causes of the "information cocoon room", including:
Algorithm recommendation replaces individual's independent choice.
Fragmented reading replaces in-depth interpretation, pushing fragmentation and fragmentation.
At present, there is too much information, so I can only try to filter what I like.
We always choose information according to our own tastes, listen to what we want to hear, see what we want to see, and get in touch with people with the same position ...-We weave a cocoon for ourselves, and then we can only hear "my voice", just like silkworm chrysalis, we can't see the whole world.
The above copy is self-aware. I first came into contact with this word today, and then I searched on Zhihu and found this article: How to break through the information cocoon?
I am thinking that people's learning is metaphysical, and the more professional, the more detailed. Generally speaking, we are limited by thinking and bad environment.
Last time I read Niu Ma's article, I saw Sister Xiu leave a message suggesting that she buy the fund's money to invest in stocks, so the income will be quick. Niu Ma thinks this is risky and thinks that although the fund has less income, she has her own way to stabilize profits.
I think this is the difference between their thinking habits and growing environment. After reading her article, Sister Sleeve has been in the stock market for more than ten years, studying stock market theory for more than ten years. During this period, she also experienced the dividend period of the stock, which was very lucky. So she has her own way and belief.
Niu Ma entered the stock market a little late, and the dividend period has passed, but when her technology is not mature enough, it ushered in "Black Friday". She is cautious about the stock market, which can be said to be the difference between bad ideas.
