In my X group, someone said: "The current environment doesn't warrant low recognition for those who are content with the status quo; it's just their chosen way of life, and isn't that also a kind of great wisdom?" Actually, this is more like a typical "defensive rationalization." It assumes a premise: people can only profit during an upward cycle. So when the environment worsens, the safest strategy becomes: fewer changes, less risk-taking, less fuss. Of course, there's nothing wrong with that. But "choosing stability" doesn't equal "higher cognition," nor is it necessarily wisdom. True wisdom isn't about relying solely on a single era’s dividends. It’s about growing during the cycle, adjusting during downturns, and being able to re-establish one's position when the environment changes. Many times, people don't see through the changes; they just lack the ability to traverse through change.
