How does the world work?

does this world work?

This idea has been in my head for years, and I'm not sure if it's a "problem",
let alone describe it in words, try it...don't ask for an answer...just don't get closed ...

First of all, as a highly educated science and engineering student, I don't think there are things in the world that are beyond my comprehension.
For example, among all the scientific and technological achievements of human beings that I have learned,
there is no one that gives me the feeling that "I'm going to stop it. This is space black technology, it's not scientific.
" impressive".
And I also believe that if you continue to learn in any field, there should be nothing beyond your understanding.

Second, I find that everyone (at least around me) contributes little to the world, especially when compared to the life they enjoy.
For example, A's daily job is to patrol the construction site to check safety operations, B's daily job is to sit in the government building and stamp documents,
C's daily job is to buy and sell businesses... but they can all live In a high-rise building, driving a car that you don't understand how it works,
getting information from the Internet without knowing where the other end of the cable leads...

But there are more than 7,000,000,000 individuals in this world, each of which is independent of each other, but constitutes a A well-ordered world.
The mobile communication network covers almost every corner of the planet. There are human vehicles everywhere in the sky and ocean. The periphery of our planet is full of man-made celestial bodies... People live a comfortable life and
look forward to a better tomorrow.
All this is taken for granted.

So my question is: Why is everyone in this world doing insignificant jobs that I can understand,
but the world is developing beyond my comprehension? How can the world operate in such a peaceful and orderly manner?
Is it the few elite leaders that exist in the world that manage it all?
Is it human beings themselves that contain the drive to maintain a stable society?
Is it that nature itself has a very strong fault tolerance?
Is there some kind of philosophical management in the world that I can't understand?
Yes……?
How does the world work?

I don't know what I'm talking about... Anyway... post it...

The resources that everyone can easily enjoy comes from the contribution of someone's intelligence. Electric lights came from Edison, and modern cars came from Henry Ford.
All technological innovations were led by one person. Later, a few people made improvements, and later people just copied the technology
(there will also be some minor improvements in the copy), copy More and more, more and more people in the world can begin to enjoy this resource.

So, you ask why the people around you are doing trivial work, but the society is running very well, and it is constantly developing and improving?
Because the contribution of a few people is shared by the majority. In fact, what most people do has an insignificant impact on the entire world.
Whether your friends are stamping or checking tickets or lying on the sofa watching TV all day, it doesn’t really matter to human beings. It’s
just that They have to eat to survive, so something has to be done to ensure that. But as long as there is only one person in the world with a talent beyond ordinary people,
Or enthusiasm for a certain field, his invention or discovery, can ultimately promote the development of the entire human material civilization.
(This pot friend, you have strange muscles and bones, do you want to try ╮(￣▽￣")╭ )
------------------------- ---------------
The following paragraph is seriously off-topic
---------------------------- --------------
This is also why, although the material life of human beings is still advanced and convenient, the spiritual level has always progressed slowly. Because the material can be inherited, the
spirit can only develop from scratch. Moreover, experience can only be understood by oneself, and cannot be imparted. Everyone inherits the scientific achievements and materials of their predecessors from birth, and
has many things that people could not imagine a hundred years ago, but the spirit is a blank sheet of paper, and it
takes ten years to experience Only after a few years of setbacks can we gradually understand the truth.
That’s why we say that reading is important (including scientific and technological aspects and spiritual growth), because I want to think and experience in advance the achievements that my predecessors have realized for decades,
and stand On the shoulders of giants. That's what I said, but the premise is that you have to be interested, or feel meaningful,
otherwise it will be painful and useless. It is better to be a lazy person and enjoy a good life.

        I used Zhihu at first because of this problem. I thought about it day and night. After registering Zhihu, I immediately searched if there were any similar questions,
        so this was the first question I paid attention to. But there were few answers. , so I mentioned another one, and sure enough, I was still ignorant and too young.
        I thought someone would tell me if I asked a question...      
        Now, I try to start answering this question one after another. It's also a way of organizing your thoughts.
                                ★★★★★★★★
        The subject said that there is nothing in the world that cannot be understood. This may be the characteristics of science and engineering, and it is an advantage and a limitation.
        Humans are now so advanced in technology that all kinds of supercomputers are only invented by themselves. Those things are very slippery.
        There is still very little understanding of the natural universe. Some basic theories are controversial, and no one dares to say that they are absolutely right.
        It can even be said that we still know nothing about the world and are still at a very low level. This is at the level of the entire universe, leave
        these things to those geniuses to do! What we can do is to look at popular science books from time to time and learn about the latest developments.
        After all, these are far away from us.       

        What about in human society? There is also no formula. It is impossible for you to have a key to open all the problems.
        Newton said that he knew how the stars in the sky worked but did not know people's thoughts. Our world is too complicated.
        Interlocking, step by step, politics, economics, history, groups, individuals, psychology, anthropology, sociology... It
        involves all aspects and inextricably linked relationships, and as mentioned earlier, people I just understand the things I invented, such as
        cars, airplanes, and computers. But human beings themselves were invented by nature, and human society is the result of natural evolution.
        These things are still inconclusive, and those who specialize in academic research have not been able to figure it out for several lifetimes.
        How could we possibly finish in a sentence or two. So don't think hard about things that are unclear.
        This world is not something you and I can understand. Understand this truth, don't go to the horns in everything, we always want to control the world,
        just put ourselves in the right position.       

        But there are still some laws in this society. It may not be the deepest and most basic, but it can somewhat answer some of the doubts in our hearts.
        Where do these rules come from? You can’t think hard, you don’t understand if you don’t understand, you don’t understand when you think about death, and you may get sick (depression, etc.),
        Yang Jiang said, your problem is that you don’t read too much and think too much. It's just saying that I used to think that it was bad to think too much, but now it's
        really bad when I think about it. Some things it can't be in a hurry, just can't be in a hurry, otherwise there will be problems.
        Then read the book, the things that the world's top great gods have spent their whole life thinking about are better than your foolish thoughts all day long, but be careful,
        you can't believe their words completely, they are also human, and many theories are contradictory. as a point of view.

         Here are some of the books I've read, am reading, and plan to read that I find useful:
    Amusement to Death,
    The Rabble,
    The Third Kind of Chimpanzee,
    Guns, Germs and Steel,
    Breakdown
    , Sophie's World,
    The Three-Body Problem,
    A Brief History of Humanity,
    The Selfish Gene
    "The Road to Happiness"
    "Man's Story"
    "1984"
    "Animal Farm"
    "The Blind Watchmaker"
    "The Wealth of Nations"

        has no relevant description, I don't think I have that level
        yet. Continued —————————
