The cage of cognition begins with only seeing what you want to see; growth is about constantly swallowing and digesting those dissenting opinions that instinctively repel you. 1. Break the information cocoon with violent disruption; aversion is the boundary of cognition. 2. Toolify multidisciplinary knowledge and establish a Charlie Munger-style framework. 3. Seek cross-disciplinary breakthroughs; a deadlock in Field A is often common sense in Field B. 4. Conduct daily intense reviews, using a scalpel to precisely dissect today's foolishness. In the past, I clung to professional barriers, sitting in a well and looking at the sky; I would get annoyed at different viewpoints and mistake bias for personality. Later, I forced myself to tackle boring biology and psychology, trying to solve workplace problems with interdisciplinary models. Now, I can instantly call upon multi-dimensional perspectives to simplify problems, and I realize that the real shortcut is often hidden in the fields you are least familiar with. Do you feel experienced, but whenever faced with a completely new and complex problem, you still feel like a primitive man with only a hammer? The information that makes you comfortable is usually spiritual opium; what stings and offends you is the cognitive nourishment. In this complex system, one-dimensional experts often die the fastest because they try to open every lock with the same key.
