I want to write another book about global entrepreneurship for digital nomads.

Chinese people “seeking suicide” on Claude are rising sharply. They have discovered that doing so will not get their Claude accounts banned. A mature governance system should not rely on judging whether users are lying to address loopholes; instead, it should make lying itself unprofitable.

Growth, at its core, is a continual struggle against our instincts. Human nature naturally seeks ease, immediate feedback, and certainty, while true growth often comes from delayed gratification, repetitive training, proactively taking responsibility, and long-term persistence. Follow human nature, and you will become increasingly comfortable; go against inertia, and you will become increasingly strong.

You know what? Knowing many principles once does not change you. You need to keep knowing, keep verifying, and keep recalling them before they truly change you. For knowledge to truly take effect, it’s not enough to know something once—you have to repeat it until it becomes instinctive.

Some people ask why so many beautiful women are short of money now. It’s because the old money that once cared most about saving face, needed the most pomp, and was most willing to pay for relationships and emotions is declining or even going bankrupt. New wealth is increasingly flowing to tech guys and crypto guys, but these two groups have completely different views on wealth: you can get close to me, but you can’t easily get close to my money. They don’t need to prove their status through consumption, nor are they willing to maintain relationships with money. So what’s changing is not just

Many people who got rich overnight in crypto keep expanding their influence, thinking it makes them safer. Often, they have merely postponed the risk. They still significantly underestimate the risk of being held accountable later.

Many people building a personal brand focus on showcasing themselves. In reality, what truly matters is not getting more people to see you, but having your ideas spread, your methods adopted, and your system continue to operate even after it is separated from you. The ultimate goal of a personal brand is not to make yourself omnipresent, but to make your ideas and systems omnipresent while you become increasingly invisible. The greater your influence, the lower the returns from personal exposure—and the higher the risks.

In the next few years, politicians’ advocacy of their views will no longer be trusted by default, tech moguls’ promotion of products will be questioned by more people, livestreamers selling products will gradually decline, and KOL endorsements will continue to lose their effectiveness. Human society will gradually shift from “believing in who” to “verifying what.” It’s not that people have suddenly become smarter, but that AI has driven the cost of searching, comparing, verifying, and cross-checking down to nearly zero. In the future, what truly holds value will no longer be “I have so many fo

Someone said: “Morris, although you don’t invest in stocks, your content has influenced my stock investment decisions. Much of the content you post about the future is highly insightful and forward-looking.”
I said: I don’t provide stock answers, but I hope to offer a framework that helps people see the future sooner.

Chinese people tend to travel with suitcases, while Westerners prefer backpacks. The difference is not the luggage, but the source of their sense of security. A suitcase represents bringing as much of one’s familiar life as possible into an unfamiliar place, using thorough preparation to counter uncertainty; a backpack represents actively reducing dependence and trusting that one can solve problems anywhere. The former pursues certainty, while the latter trains adaptability. True freedom is not how much you carry, but whether you can still live normally after leaving those things behind.

In the crypto world, some well-known people seem to keep losing money, yet always have more money to lose. It is not necessarily because they are especially good at making money, nor does it necessarily mean that the money was originally theirs. Once a person’s accounts, addresses, projects, and network of relationships become large enough, they may have turned into a conduit for funds: someone may use their channels for matched trading, generating trading volume, moving funds, or even laundering money. So what you see may be “this person has lost a lot of money again,” while the reality may a

The failure of the old order is not limited to China; the United States and the entire world are undergoing the same structural transition. The expansion of globalization, low interest rates, population growth, technological dividends, and a relatively stable international order over the past several decades jointly shaped a path for the American middle class: good school → good company → high salary → buying a home → asset appreciation → stable retirement. Essentially, individuals entered a continuously expanding social system and then shared in the dividends of its growth.
But today, the glo

The ultimate ability of ordinary people is to already be in the right position before the future arrives.

People often DM me asking, “Can you follow me back?” I say, “Sure. I generally follow back those who have subscribed to me on X for more than six months.” Then the other person goes silent. Sometimes you need to understand that many things in this world can be obtained, but not necessarily for free. Truly valuable relationships, attention, resources, and connections often come with a threshold. You have to be willing to give something first before the world will respond to you seriously.

When you can easily see anyone’s true colors—even their innermost thoughts—you often move instantly from anger, to understanding, and finally to acceptance.

Growth often begins with a stark mismatch: your understanding has already seen farther, but your abilities, resources, and position are still where they were, so you feel anxious and think, “My abilities don’t match my ambition.” But this is not failure; it is a sign that your sense of self is beginning to awaken. Many people do not lack ideals when they are young; they are simply busy meeting the expectations of their parents, society, and circumstances, without enough security to ask, “What do I truly want?” Only after experiencing enough of reality do people shift from “Who do others want m

What ultimately determines what an AI will become is often not what it claims it can do today, but what it already has behind it. Genes determine probabilities, while resources shape the path. Gemini is backed by Google Search, YouTube, Maps, and its knowledge systems, so it is naturally closer to “understanding the world”; Grok is backed by X’s real-time information stream, so it is closer to “understanding the present”; ChatGPT is connected to Microsoft, Azure, GitHub, and the enterprise ecosystem, making it more likely to move in a more “future-oriented” direction; MetaAI, meanwhile, is bac

The power of aspiration is the force that drives a person steadily and persistently in a particular direction over the long term. But the truly greater power lies not merely in strengthening individual will, but in aligning one’s will with greater laws, the spirit of the times, and the order of life. You still have aspirations, still take action, and still create, yet you are no longer fixated on making the world submit to you. Instead, you become part of the whole, moving with the momentum and acting in harmony with it. At this point, the “self” becomes smaller, but the power it can bear and

The true purpose of life is to continually elevate yourself through the real experiences of wealth, career, relationships, success, and failure. Wealth expands your choices, career tests your abilities, setbacks temper your character, and experience elevates your understanding. All of life’s external accumulations ultimately settle into a person’s abilities, perspective, and spiritual depth. The true masterpiece completed in this lifetime is always yourself.

Many people make their first fortune through ability, courage, and the tailwinds of their era, but their understanding, mindset, and risk management often have yet to catch up with their wealth—so it can come quickly and disappear just as quickly. What truly determines how far someone can go is whether they can rebuild themselves after their first fall: understand cycles, respect risk, comprehend human nature, and develop a new understanding of themselves. Becoming wealthy for the first time proves you have the ability to make money; losing your wealth for the first time completes an upgrade i
