Thinkers cannot be blindly appointed by anyone. Thinkers have their minimum knowledge and quality.
The basic knowledge and quality of Zhou Qunding's thinkers are:
As a thinker, we should fully understand the most important fields, such as humanities, politics, society, economy, history, law, people's livelihood, education and so on. , so as not to lose sight of one thing and cause contradictions and conflicts between fields.
How to judge whether a thinker has the minimum knowledge and quality;
Reading a person's articles, reading two articles will make logical mistakes, and reading more articles will confirm that this person is not a thinker at all! Of course, the conclusion must be based on facts, reasoning and pointing out logical errors.
If you read a person's article, you don't see any logical mistakes every time you finish reading it, even if you read several articles in a row, you should continue reading. And if you haven't seen any logical mistakes after reading it all, then this writer is a great thinker, so it's time to seriously consider the author's remarks and opinions.
Declaration of thinkers
In this world, there are such a group of people: their number will always be the least, but their influence on human civilization will always be the greatest.
They are born in the minority, but they live for all.
Conscience is their basic morality, and reason is their genetic gene; It is their hobby to get to the bottom of the matter, and it is their nature to challenge authority; Objective justice is their criterion, and doubt and criticism are their spiritual swords; It is their bounden duty to explore the truth and reveal the essence.
They are thinkers.
Thinkers are lonely and arrogant, but their fate is always linked with the interests of the people. If we deviate from the people, the source of ideas will dry up and thinkers will die.
Thinkers insist on rationality and pursue objectivity and justice, but this is not contradictory to the interests of the people, and it is in the best interests of the people.
Because people need the truth most.
Thinkers not only think about where people come from, but also pay more attention to where human beings go.
Thinkers take care of human beings as their own responsibility and seek truth all their lives. They don't need orders or any remuneration.
Thinkers also pursue happiness and enjoyment, but thinkers know that power and wealth are viruses that kill ideas. The farther a thinker is from power and wealth, the closer he is to thought.
Thinkers are born rebels. They will never learn to go with the flow, let alone cater to the powerful. Thinkers are the most restless, always thinking about how to break the old and establish new ones; Thinkers are fearless fighters, and their opponents in life are ignorance and autocracy.
Thinkers' thinking is infinite and transcends time and space; The thinker's spirit is noble, and he is not surprised by humiliation.
You can't be a thinker if you seek fame and seek quick success; Thinkers are incompatible with people who play politics and are arrogant and extravagant.
Thinkers also make mistakes, but the mistakes of thinkers are also a valuable legacy of mankind, which will make people understand the true meaning of thought more deeply.
Profound knowledge is valuable, but the value of thought is supreme. Thinkers have national boundaries, but thoughts have no national boundaries. The beneficiaries of ideas are all mankind.
Thought is thunder, which can awaken confusion; Thought is rain and dew, which can nourish the soul; Thought is a weapon that can overcome fate; Thought is a torch, which can dispel the darkness; Thought is sunshine, which can illuminate the world.
Thinkers are human beings and need food and housing, but freedom and independence are the foothold and foundation of thought.
Thought can't be eaten as a meal, but without thought, people are like walking dead; If people are only satisfied with eating all day, then human evolution is meaningless. If so, a bloodthirsty mosquito deserves more praise than human beings.
Thought will make people live more meaningful, make people more harmonious with nature and make the world better.
This is the value of thought.
Thinkers are discoverers of truth, liberators of ideas and enlighteners of civilization. They break through the fog, pierce the painted skin, let people see the true colors of things and bring people the idea of freedom.
This is the mission of thinkers.
Thinking is painful, and not thinking is even more painful. A thinker's life is always full of hardships. Misunderstanding, slander and framing are always with thinkers. Thinkers would rather be humiliated than blaspheme their beliefs, have nothing than change their principles, and give up their lives than their freedom.
Thinkers often breathe in oppression and bondage, but their thoughts are always free and no force can deprive them. Even if the thinker's life is over, the seeds of thought will still exist.
The seeds of thought will one day take root and sprout, blossom and bear fruit, and last forever.
This is the power of thought. (Author: Wang Dahao 20051October11)
