16 Liu Xue's suicide theorem

She was sold by her biological parents when she was born, and her adoptive parents died at the age of four. ...

When I was a teenager, my life was rough and I was bullied.

You don't have to pursue details, so you can know how Liu Xue spent this short life.

Finally, he said: you were light when you were born, and you were clean when you were young.

Coming into this world is despised, leaving this world quietly.

Who is the executioner?

Relatives, bullies, media reports, cyber mobs, or a disorderly society? Who caused the avalanche? No one has ever repented.

Liu Xue: When I left, the whole world began to love me. What a hypocritical world this is.

The following 16 law shows us the coldness and absurdity of going deep into the bone marrow.

0 1

alligator principle

alligator principle

The crocodile principle, also known as crocodile effect, is one of the technical rules of economic transactions. The law refers to:

Suppose a crocodile bit your foot. If you try to get rid of your feet with your hands, crocodiles will bite your feet and hands at the same time. The more you struggle, the more you get bitten.

In the world of online public opinion, only crocodiles commit cyber violence. Once bitten by them, the more you argue with them, the more you will be hurt. The most important thing at this time is not to argue, but to give up the argument decisively and quit in time.

02

80/20 rule

Pareto principle

In any system, the most important part only accounts for about 20%, and the remaining 80% is secondary, so it is called the 28 law. So is today's Internet environment. Rational netizens are only a few, and those who are loud and emotional are always the majority.

In such a public opinion environment, no matter how Liu Xue defends himself, he can't resist the voice of the "majority".

03

anchorage effect

anchorage effect

Anchoring effect refers to people's preconceptions when making judgments about something, and their thinking is influenced by the first information or the first impression. The first information, like an anchor that sinks to the bottom of the sea, firmly fixes people's thoughts in a certain place, causing people to unconsciously pay too much attention to the information they first obtained when making decisions or judgments.

When people saw the news released by the media, they thought that Liu Xue was taking advantage of the kindness of netizens to gain sympathy, so they immediately went to Weibo and Liu Xue to abuse, instead of slowing down, they thought more about the news itself.

04

Memory of seven seconds

Seven seconds of memory

In modern society, the Internet can store a huge amount of data, but people's ability to forget is getting stronger and stronger, even only "seven-second memory". Although the seven-second memory is only an image metaphor, it is an indisputable fact that the Internet is increasingly forgetful. It is not only Liu Xue who has experienced cyber violence, but also the anchor "Luo Xiaomaozi" and the female nurse "Fei Tuotuo-Mu Xiuxiu". Similar incidents abound. But people are good at forgetting. After today, tomorrow will be the same. Liu Xue is not the first person to experience cyber violence, nor will he be the last.

05

Black sheep effect

Black sheep effect

The so-called black sheep effect refers to the mysterious phenomenon that a group of "good people" bully a "good person" while other "good people" sit idly by. In the anonymous Internet, many people will stand on the moral high ground, holding the banner of self-righteousness, and Qi Xin will work together to "condemn" or even hurt an isolated individual with words. Liu Xue is an isolated individual in the whole network storm.

Those who don't want to be the perpetrators or victims, that is, many people who knew about the incident in the early days, would rather look on coldly than take practical actions to stop this harmful behavior. In the end, almost everyone became a "bad guy".

06

chaos theory

chaos theory

In a system, even a small change can drive a huge chain reaction of the whole system under initial conditions, which is called chaos effect.

He was sold by his biological parents as soon as he was born, and his four-year-old adoptive parents died unfortunately. He was discriminated against and violated at school, and was hacked after recognizing his parents. ...

Being abandoned at birth is the starting point of Liu Xue's life and the beginning of his tragedy.

07

Moscow theorem

Moscow theorem

This theorem means that the first answer you get is not necessarily the best answer. This is because when you ask people questions, their first reaction is often to think or deal with them at will. Only by continuing to ask questions can you get the answers you want. When Liu Xue committed suicide and died, people blamed the cyberbully, but is this the best answer to solve the problem of cyberbullying? If you don't reflect, ask more questions and condemn the behavior of cyber bullies, is it an extension of tragedy?

08

Law of wine and sewage

Wine and sewage act

If you pour a spoonful of wine into a bucket of sewage, you get a bucket of sewage; If you pour a spoonful of sewage into a barrel of wine, you will still get a barrel of sewage. In other words, the ratio of sewage to wine does not determine the nature of this barrel, but this spoonful of sewage really plays a decisive role. As long as there is it, no amount of wine will turn into sewage.

The same is true of the Internet environment. For the victims of cyber violence, the terror of cyber violence lies not only in the large number of people, but also in cyber violence itself. Sometimes even if the cyber-violent person just said a slanderous word, it is enough to cause great psychological harm to the cyber-violent person. Words like "scheming bitch", "death" and "niang bubble" are unbearable sewage for Liu Xue.

09

Iceberg theory

Iceberg theory

The information system supporting decision-making is based on the correct collection and processing of a large number of information data. Although people can't see much in the foreground, a much larger system is running invisibly in the background. Just like an iceberg, only 1% is above the water, but the underwater part is enough to sink the Titanic countless times.

Many people were shocked by Liu Xue's suicide, but they didn't know that behind this decision, childhood experiences, parents' malice and online abuse had become a huge system, which led to his final decision.

10

The spiral of silence

The spiral of silence

When people express their thoughts and opinions, if they see that the views they agree with are widely welcomed, then people will subconsciously "firmly believe" that their views are "correct"; On the other hand, if people find that their views are not widely supported, then people will choose to remain silent. In Internet communication, the rational majority is often the silent majority.

Before Liu Xue committed suicide, his Weibo and private letters were full of accusations and abuse, which silenced some well-meaning people. The spiral effect of silence is two-way. The more silent the silent party is, the more radical the expressive party is. It was not until Liu Xue committed suicide that this spiral was broken.

1 1

D-K effect

Deng Ning-Kruger effect

The Ducker effect is called Deng Ning-Kruger effect. Ducker effect refers to the phenomenon that an individual makes an inaccurate evaluation of his own ability when completing a task in a specific field. When completing a task in a specific field, people with low ability will overestimate their ability, even significantly exceed the average level, while people with high ability will underestimate their ability.

In the Liu Xue incident, people with low abilities overestimated their abilities, abused and accused, and pointed fingers; Highly capable people underestimate their abilities and remain silent.

12

Murphy's law

Murphy's law

If there are two choices, one of which will lead to disaster, then someone will make this choice.

In the face of goodwill and malice, some netizens chose malice; Faced with suicide or persistence, Liu Xue chose suicide.

If you are worried about something happening, it is more likely to happen.

When Liu Xue was faced with layers of malice, some netizens worried that Liu Xuehui would commit suicide, and it finally happened.

Schrodinger's net friend

Schr？ Dinger's cat

In a closed quantum system, Schrodinger's cat can be both dead and alive. On the Internet platform, the same person can be both a perpetrator and an unfair voice.

The people who once created the cyber storm in Liu Xue and the "cyber stormers" who now create the cyber storm are actually the same people.

14

Imaging law

convex lens imaging

The law of imaging means that if an object is placed outside the focus of a convex lens, it will become an inverted real image on the other side of the convex lens. There are three kinds of real images: reduction, equal division and enlargement. The smaller the object distance, the larger the image distance and the larger the real image.

Our cognitive structure and the words that present news events are convex lenses. People often think that what the eyes see is the event itself, however, what they actually see is the imaging of a convex lens. Only by acknowledging the existence of "convex lens" and relying on rationality to overcome the prejudice brought by self-cognitive structure and news reports can we get closer to the truth and avoid the recurrence of the tragedy of cyber violence.

15

Entropy increasing theorem

Entropy generation law

In an isolated system, molecules always tend to be scattered from the original centralized and orderly arrangement. In the spontaneous process of the system from order to disorder, entropy will always increase, which is the so-called "entropy increase principle". Schrodinger said that this phenomenon can only be reversed through external intervention. As a relatively closed social platform, Weibo's public opinion is in disorder. In the whole incident of cyber violence in Liu Xue, cyber violence spread rapidly at first because there was no external intervention.

If there are corresponding laws and enforcement agencies at the beginning and more "entropy reduction" actions can be taken, such as controlling the words and deeds of cyber violence, then the "entropy" of this system will not increase to a critical point. Or force platforms like Weibo to make corresponding adjustments to prevent cyber violence. Then, the whole incident is not necessarily such a tragic ending.

16

Heine's law

Heinrich's law

There are countless mistakes that we haven't seen. Behind every major accident, there must be 29 minor accidents, 300 near misses and 1 000 hidden dangers. Heine's law emphasizes that accidents are the result of accumulation of various minor hidden dangers, that is to say, before every major accident, there are 1329 minor hidden dangers, and every hidden danger is an opportunity to correct.

Abandoned at birth, adoptive parents died unexpectedly at the age of four, and were discriminated against and violated at school ... These are the "hidden dangers" behind Liu Xue's suicide. If these problems could have been avoided or corrected in the first place, then Liu Xue would not have committed suicide. In Liu Xue's tragic life, too many people missed too many opportunities to turn over a new leaf, and social disorder was hidden behind them.

knot

Behind the 16 cold theorem is the humanity reflected by the noise.

Liu Xue's death is not only due to the probability of Murphy's law, the entropy reduction of isolated systems and the stupidity of Ducker effect; But also because of the indifference of the spiral of silence, the contempt for the memory of seven seconds and the admiration for Heine's law.

"The sun shines on the sea, and I also belong to the sea. Ending my life from here also took away the most beautiful scenery in the world. " Liu Xue's suicide note has a quiet poetry.

However, behind this quiet poetry, it reminds people of a sentence that Mr. Lu Xun said in "Grave": "Just close your eyes. If you are really here and hear me, teach this crow to fly to the top of your grave and show it to me. "

This muddy world does not deserve such a clear soul.
