The origin of the proverbial boiling frog in warm water?

A famous experiment was conducted at Cornell University in the United States. After careful planning, they threw a frog into a boiling frying pan in the cold, and the responsive frog jumped out of the boiling pan with all its might in the nick of time, and escaped to the ground.

A half-hour later, they used an iron pot of the same size, this time filled with cold water, and placed the frog in the pot. The frog swam back and forth in the water from time to time. Next, the experimenters sneaked a charcoal fire under the bottom of the pot and slowly heated it.

The frog, unaware of what was going on, was still enjoying the warmth of the slightly warm water, but by the time it began to realize that the water in the pot was too hot for it to handle and that it had to jump out to survive, it was too late. It was too late. It was paralyzed, lying in the water, and was buried in the iron pot.

The truth of what was said

is that if you go straight into a crisis, then people are immediately alerted to it, and if you gradually fall into a crisis, people don't take it so seriously.

"Boiling a frog in warm water" illustrates the principle of quantitative change to qualitative change, and the principle of losing one's guard and inviting disaster due to adaptation and habituation to gradual change. Suddenly in front of the enemy often make people make unexpected defense effect, but the face of the environment of comfort and satisfaction will often produce a laxity, but also the most fatal laxity, to the death are still do not know why.
