Chapter 48: Telling Stories with Morals

"Every operation of human society is conducted by humans themselves, religions, traditional cultures, legal morals, and even social structures are essentially operated and set by humans. Thus, if one learns the way of humans, which is to grasp the fundamental logic and operational rules of human society, one can understand all human social behaviors and their essence."

According to the book, although we all appear to be the same humans on the surface, the differences in cognition essentially set us worlds apart."

Human cognition is divided into four levels—fools, knowers, cunning, Wiseman.

It can be roughly understood as, 1, the commoners. 2, intellectuals. 3, opportunists, and 4, Great Wisdom.

The logic with which these four view the world is completely different.

Fool—surface logic.

Intellectuals—true logic.

Opportunists—realistic logic.

Great Wisdom—fundamental logic.

Take Faith in God as an example.
