Why is anti-intellectualism so severe on the internet nowadays?


People like Zhang Yiming, Pony Ma, Jack Ma, Huang Zheng, Wang Xing—these individuals—
have already stopped wanting to communicate with ordinary people.
They realize that
the only effective way to communicate with the average person
is through harvesting, profit—an irresistible force.
Learn if you can, forget if you can't.
There's no need to explain slowly with words.
It's not just them.
Most people with cognitive advantages
basically keep silent on public affairs.
Up to now, with the development of the internet,
the conventional information gap has almost disappeared.
But what remains is an exponential information gap.
There’s no gradual transition—it's either 0 or 100.
Like college admissions—either you get in or you don’t.
There are several hard thresholds.
If you can get in, everything is open to you.
If you can't, then I don’t care.
As for how to get in,
or even whether you realize there's a hurdle here,
that’s not my concern either.
Here's a common-sense example:
Some people retire,
and besides social security, they also have occupational pensions,
and performance bonuses and subsidies from their units.
A few million people nationwide have experienced this,
comparable to the total number of graduates from 985 universities.
Every time this information is released,
it shocks a large number of people.
But it’s not even close to the edge of an exponential information gap.
Most people don’t want to learn.
Those capable of teaching don’t want to teach.
And that’s just how it is.
In the future, education will be the most thorough—
completely based on the gains and losses of social resources,
not any other method.
If you’re dissatisfied,
then you lose—you're exploited of social resources.
A simple example:
Reform of commercial housing until 2015—
if you’re dissatisfied, it’s because you didn’t buy a house.
From 2022 to now,
if you’re dissatisfied, it’s because you didn’t sell your house.
The results are the same.
The proportion of social resources is rapidly decreasing.
Society will become even more thoroughly socialized,
but not in a rough, "you deserve it if you're weak" way.
Instead, it will be a rational, locally optimal socialization.
I give resources to the weak—
if others don’t give, then they can crush me.
So I can’t give.
That’s the harder part.
A completely result-oriented approach—
no emotions, only calculations.
