Long and Short: Experience and Logic

Reality can clarify things that people cannot clarify. I can understand a small matter, a very small field, but as the complexity increases, people become more limited. It's not that I don't want to use logic, but it gets confusing as I use it. Induction is more convenient than deduction. So it's easy to understand a book, but hard to write one. Reading is a form of induction, breaking down big things into small ones. Then use your own experience to validate these small ideas. Writing, on the other hand, is constantly generating with logic, and as complexity increases, there are bound to be many loopholes. We often say that some movies are bad. Most movies are probably bad. Movies can never be as real and logical as history or politics. Unless the movie is a real historical film or documentary. If you want to pursue reality, the objective world is here. But people watch movies to satisfy fantasies that cannot be satisfied and experience life that cannot be experienced. Although the movie is bad, because it satisfies fantasies, people continue to watch. In that case, the most important thing about watching movies is to choose the good ones, actively ignore or give flaws other values, or change perspectives. Someone once asked me what long story I read, I don't read long stories. It's not that I don't want to read long stories, because the longer the work, the more errors in deduction, and the faster the world collapses. If a person can happily finish a long story quickly, this kind of happiness is enviable, just like the first climax. But I think this cannot last. Fantasy and reason, this is a set of eternal contradictions. The longer the fantasy, the less reasonable. The shorter the fantasy, the more reasonable. People like long-lasting fantasies, but are always awakened by the logic of reality. A shortcut to the road to fantasy is to use experience instead of logic, to use long-term experience instead of logic. Or, to think slowly over time, slowly accumulating into a long story of fantasy. Otherwise, it's like a person awakened from a dream by illness, dry mouth, and lost. Accumulate steadily, or return to the race between the tortoise and the hare, instantaneous high speed is beyond human reach, only time can exchange for space.
