The most typical exchange misconception among poor people is treating low-cost emotional value as a high-value bargaining chip: after saying a few nice words or expressing support once, they believe they have already paid a sufficient price and naturally deserve other people’s resources, opportunities, and help. This is a manifestation of lacking a sense of value: being unable to accurately judge how much their own contributions are worth, or understand how much other people’s resources are worth.

Many people don’t lack ability; rather, low-value time and wasted time consume too much of their lives.

Common methods known to people who frequently kill: mentally breaking down and inducing the victim to commit suicide, disguising murder as an accident, chronically poisoning the victim over a long period, installing low-frequency noise radiation devices nearby, training animals to cause accidental attacks, and administering unverified vaccines “for your own good.”
The above is for defensive human reference only.

A person’s greatest enemy is not someone who opposes you, but someone who constantly deprives you of your right to choose.

A person’s outward state comes from the resources they truly possess behind the scenes.
Your valuation comes from the growth potential you have yet to realize.
Your composure comes from the cash flow you continuously generate.
Your confidence comes from your genuine profitability.
Your self-assurance comes from fundamentals that trend upward over the long term.
Your patience comes from knowing how much you are truly worth even when the market temporarily undervalues you.
Your freedom of choice comes from always retaining liquidity in your hands.
Your ability to withstand risk comes from never

A subscriber asked me: “Morris, how can I tell whether I have a sense of risk? Let me give you an example: Before doing something, if you can even think through what you might lose after succeeding, then you have a sense of risk. A sense of risk isn’t being afraid of failure; it’s seeing the cost of success.”

In China, the leather jackets, flared trousers, and oversized sunglasses of the 1980s challenged the homogenized collective order (the uniform blue, green, and gray); the denim, long hair, and Hong Kong-Taiwan style of the 1990s challenged conservatism and isolation; the Shamate and non-mainstream styles of the 2000s challenged mainstream society’s definition of a “normal person”; in the 2010s, streetwear brands, AJs, and luxury goods once again began using prices and brand names to prove “who I am”; by the 2020s, more and more people were wearing minimalist, logo-free basics, challenging the

People who were not properly loved as children often have to relearn two things as adults: how to love themselves and how to trust others.

In China, cuju was popular in official circles during the Song dynasty, cricket fighting was popular among Qing dynasty nobles, while badminton and Guandan are favored within the modern establishment.

People who lack agency overestimate themselves in favorable circumstances and underestimate themselves in adversity.

Fool: Does not know that they do not know.
Smart person: Knows that they do not know.
Wise person: Knows what they should know and also knows what they need not know.

I don’t like it when a post is a video or an image, because YouTube and TikTok already have those, and they do them very well. I scroll through TikTok to watch things; I scroll through X to encounter a thought that had never occurred to me before.

Open source has never been the goal. Security, fairness, stability, verifiability, respect for users’ interests, and values that remain trustworthy over the long term are what truly matter.

As a child, you can be conditioned by your parents; at school, by your teachers; after entering society, by your boss; after starting a business, by your investors; and even after coming to X, by algorithms. But I happen to like posting deep, rational writing, even if it gets no traffic.

A weak economy is the best window of opportunity for ordinary people to understand the world.

In China, ordinary people have a major misconception: when the economy keeps declining, income expectations fall, and opportunities grow scarcer, they wonder whether the future is “doomed.” But economic deterioration and systemic instability are two different things. They have extensive historical experience and many ways to maintain stability: unsolvable problems can be prolonged, unbearable short-term costs can be spread out, and irreversible trends can be gradually adapted to. Besides, next door is North Korea, a good little brother that has been lying dormant for decades. What may really h

What would you like to discuss today, and is there something you don’t know whom to tell?

Have you ever noticed that in large chain restaurants like KFC and McDonald’s, you rarely see flies or mosquitoes? Many people assume it is simply because they maintain better hygiene and employees clean more frequently. But the real difference is often in places you cannot see. For example, entrances may use two sets of doors, air curtains, and other methods to reduce the direct entry of outdoor insects and dust, while indoor air circulation is controlled through supply air, exhaust air, and spatial pressure differences. The idea is not to wait until flies have flown in and then ask employees

Sense of boundaries: not having especially rigid boundaries, but having especially clear ones.

Being rejected is one of the shortcuts to success in life.
