Translated from 日本語 • View original Colorkrew (hereinafter referred to as "Karakul") The most strongly promoted "openness" in the philosophy
I have written several times on this blog why it is open and what it must be, but this time I will talk about **the importance of "knowing"**I would like to write about it.
Modern ordinary people would have become geniuses if they had gone 100 years ago! ?
I recently read an interesting literature about improving IQ.
According to it, IQ is greatly improved not only by the original mental quality, but also by the accumulation of knowledge. If a person with an average IQ today were to travel back in time to the UK, a cutting-edge country 100 years ago, they would be in the top 1-2% of that society.
The reason why this happens is because we are educated. This is because you can also gain knowledge from the books left by your predecessors.
Social Gap Widening by Information Gap
In this way, modern people generally have a higher IQ level than people in the past. In other words, they have high basic intellectual abilities.
So, this is not just a comparison between the present and the past, but the same thing is happening among people living in the present day.
People who are in a position to obtain information are more capable, and conversely, it is difficult to improve their abilities without information.
As for whether or not you can get information. First of all, whether or not you can receive education as a base.
Fortunately, Japan has a well-established education system, so we are entrusted with the benefits of it.
Not long ago, there was a scholar who went up fire for saying that blacks are inferior to whites in IQ, but if there is a difference in ability, I think it is likely that it is not a racial inferiority, but a difference in education.
And the information gap does not only occur between countries and regions.
Even if they receive the same education, people who do not read newspapers or books at all after becoming a member of society, and who do not communicate with people who can obtain intellectual stimulation, will have a slower growth in their basic skills than those who obtain information on a daily basis.
Those who study become smarter and smarter, and those who do not stop growing. It is no exaggeration to say that it separates successful people from those who are not in society.
Information gap within the company
What about the inside of the company?
Even in the same company, there are people who are in a position to obtain a lot of important information on a daily basis, and people who can't at all. In this situation, as you can see from the logic so far, the disparity will continue to widen.
In many companies, it is difficult to get important information when you are young. Youth is the period of growth as a member of society.
During that growth period, we do not get enough nutrition called "knowing".
Isn't it very unfortunate to be in such an environment?
By eliminating the information gap, we will create an environment where people can grow at an explosive pace from their 20s.
This is another benefit of opening Karakul.
