Medical.Science.Is.Not.A.Sophistry(14.The.Authority.Of.Personal.Knowledge.2)

(2023-12-27 19:50:17)
Medical Science Is Not A Sophistry
( 14. The Authority Of 
 Personal Knowledge .2 )



Now, we can talk about the authority of personal
knowledge:

FIRSTLY, a principle should be established:

Professional knowledge can only have a 
certain level of authority when applied 
correctly, rationally and in good faith.

Otherwise, professional knowledge will lack 
any authority and may even be destructive.


SECONDLY, we should recognize that different 
types of talents have different levels of 
authority. 

Based on he Professional Level Characteristic
Curve, there are three types: expert talents, 
versatile talents and ordinary professionals.

So, we can easily draw the following conclusions:

1. Expert talents only possess authority within 
their own field of expertise.

2. Versatile talents possess authority in multiple 
professional fields, but it is best to limit it 
to the professional fields covered by the high 
platform trapezoid in its professional level 
characteristic curve

3. Ordinary professionals generally lack authority, 
but they have a certain degree of authority on 
specific issues within their own professional scope 
or technical level, which should be respected as 
much as possible.


Now, we can answer what "To take ignorance 
as authority" means.


The taking of ignorance as authority usually 
occurs in the following situations:


1. Ordinary professionals impersonating 
Expert or Versatile talents

For example, many western medicine practitioners 
are at most just ordinary professionals, they are 
only expert in the field of medical technology 
and basically ignorant of true medical science, 
such as TCM (Traditional Chinese Medicine). 

However, they always like to gossip about TCM,  
though they hardly understand TCM. 

So, in the end, they have to deny many facts 
and try to cover up their professional 
shortcomings in this way, which is actually 
awkward, but they even believe that they 
have participated in academic discussions !


2. Expert talents impersonating versatile 
talents, Or acting recklessly towards 
other professions

For example, some person, once he had 
obtained a professional title, such as a professor, immediately assumed authority and pretended 
to understand everything and enjoyed pointing 
fingers and gossiping with others. 

Whenever he discovers something difficult to 
understand, he always says "no" to it.

e.g.  TCM often encounters such guys.

But if someone disagrees or refutes what he 
said, this guy would show off his diploma 
and professional title.

Actually, it's just pitiful !


All of these are typical manifestations of 
taking ignorance as authority.


To better understand such issues, let's give 
an analogy.


A chess master saw a pair of Go masters playing 
together.

As a result, he discovered that Go masters never 
referred to the rules of chess when arranging 
their formations. 

So, the chess master explained the rules of 
chess to the two go masters, but these two go 
masters only smiled and did not listen to his 
advice. 

This immediately made the chess master 
furious, so, he said:

"Playing chess like you is not standardized 
or reasonable. 
And both of you should know: 
I am a chess master ! 
So, I have enough knowledge to prove 
that your chess is irregular and 
unreasonable ! "

Finally, in a fit of anger, he simply flipped 
over the Go board !


This is precisely the current situation of TCM !


A group of persons who only understand the 
theory of western medicine but not care about 
the effectiveness of treating diseases pretend 
to understand TCM and criticize TCM, by 
disregarding both a lot of facts that TCM can 
effectively treat many diseases and pains or 
helplessness of similar patients. 


So, such guys are just seeking the highs from 
professional paranoia and they disregard  
integrity or shame .


They often shout that they are professional 
authorities, and even say that TCM is not 
knowledge. 

But in fact, their understanding of knowledge 
is very poor, far from reaching the professional 
level, let alone authority !
