Robots have no subconscious mind. Every movement, including turning the "body", bending the "fingers" and raising the volume of the "speech", is controlled by precise numbers in its "brain". Once the power is off, the robot will stop working. However, people are different. If people faint and lose consciousness, they will collapse to the ground, but the heartbeat, breathing, digestion and other functions will not stop immediately, because they are under the control of the unconscious mind, which will never disappear unless the physical death. If, like a robot, every muscle was numerically controlled, every hormone regulated, and every nerve signal processed, human beings would not be able to survive because the amount of information needed to process even the seemingly simple act of raising a hand or moving a hand is enormous. In order to survive better, the hand of evolution has cleverly layered consciousness. It puts the unconscious mind in charge of the physiological system and the conscious mind in charge of the social system. This division of labor frees the conscious mind to devote itself to higher social activities. This is the power of evolution. However, evolution is a double-edged sword, and the layering of consciousness has brought great benefits to human beings as well as a side effect -- vagueness.

Because the speed of processing all kinds of information is not equal, it is difficult for consciousness to intervene in the subconscious, but the subconscious can easily control the consciousness, so people always do what they do not understand, such as obviously want to study, but then turn around and pick up the mobile phone; It is like a shadow behind you. It can affect you, but you don't know what it is. You look back in a blur. This kind of vagueness leads to confusion and fear, which in turn confuses our cognition, emotions and actions, thus affecting the direction of our life. Ambiguity is the source of trouble in life. And life is like a blur elimination competition, who is the more serious the blur, who will be more chaotic; The less blurry the person, the more awake he is. People's cognitive ability needs to be accumulated from scratch, while the unconscious mind always exists, so we need lifelong learning, because the more tools we master, the stronger the cognitive ability, the better the ability to eliminate ambiguity. Just as you know metacognition, you know how to think about yourself; When you know "deliberate practice", you know how to improve yourself. Now that you know "Exercise Reinvents your brain", you know how to motivate yourself to exercise... The best in the field know more than everyone else, have fewer blind spots, have more clarity, and are therefore more influential. Unfortunately, humans are hardwired to dislike learning and thinking because it takes a lot of energy. In the long process of evolution, the primary task of life is survival, so the first principle of genetic self-design is to save energy, anything that consumes a lot of energy will be regarded as a threat to survival. The subconscious mind has no thought, only instinct, it will try to let the body lower energy route, induce us to enjoy, so instinct is usually an obstacle to learning, and if people do not learn, and unable to overcome instinct. This cycle makes us inevitably fall into chaos in the initial stage of life, and it is often difficult for us to get out of it unless we are forced or pulled by external forces. Fortunately, the development of The Times provides us with more learning opportunities and a better learning environment, and the possibility that we actively enter the anti-instinct growth is also increasing.
