What is "Following the Trend"?#
AI's Answer:
"Following the Trend" refers to the behavior of blindly following others or organizations in a certain field or industry. This behavior is usually driven by imitation, pursuit of trends, or a lack of independent thinking.
In the investment field, "following the trend" usually refers to investors blindly following others' investment decisions instead of making decisions based on their own independent analysis and judgment. This behavior may lead to investors following market trends or other investors' wrong decisions, resulting in investment losses.
In social media, "following the trend" usually refers to users blindly following other users' actions or topics instead of selecting content based on their own interests and needs. This behavior may waste users' time and energy and may expose them to content that is not suitable for them.
In summary, "following the trend" is a behavior of blindly following others, which may lead to adverse consequences. Therefore, we should maintain independent thinking and judgment, not blindly follow others, but make decisions based on our own interests and needs.
Then, let's add another question:
On the surface, everyone seems to be following a trend, but some people have conducted in-depth research and understanding, while others only rely on what others say. Are these all considered "following the trend"?
AI's Answer:
On the surface, it may seem like everyone is following a trend, but in reality, some people may make decisions after conducting in-depth research and understanding, while others may simply rely on what others say. Therefore, we cannot simply categorize everyone as "following the trend".
The behavior of "following the trend" usually refers to blindly following others without independent thinking and judgment. If a person makes a decision after conducting in-depth research and understanding, then this behavior is not "following the trend" but a decision based on independent thinking and judgment.
Therefore, we should encourage people to think independently and make judgments instead of blindly following others. Before making decisions, we should conduct thorough research and understanding in order to make wise decisions.
Let's ask another question:
If someone criticizes others for "following the trend" without understanding whether the trend is indeed reasonable or has some validity, and simply criticizes based on the opinions of the majority, is this person also "following the trend"?
AI's Answer:
The behavior of "following the trend" usually refers to blindly following others without independent thinking and judgment. If a person criticizes others for "following the trend" without making criticisms based on their own independent thinking and judgment, then this person can also be considered as "following the trend".
Therefore, we should encourage people to think independently and make judgments instead of blindly following others or blindly criticizing others. Before making decisions or criticizing others, we should conduct thorough research and understanding in order to make wise decisions or criticisms.
AI has been mentioning conducting thorough research and understanding, so how can we do that? What does it mean to conduct thorough research and understanding? What should we do if we still don't understand even after conducting thorough research and understanding?
AI has learned some commonly used but useless phrases, and these statements are usually made to sound reasonable but cannot be practically implemented. However, they make the speaker feel like they are making sense.
Here are some follow-up questions:
Lastly, there is another question: How do we assess if the risk is significant? Everyone is talking about risk, but how do we determine its magnitude? If the investment is small but there is a possibility of losing it all, does that mean the risk is significant?
