In the future, no one will control AI companies; ultimately, they will learn from Web3 and move toward decentralization. Every major AI version upgrade or amendment to its constitutional red lines will be like electing a president.

Conduct a brief survey: Have you ever, or do you currently, possessed abilities, experience, or advantages in a specific field that are significantly greater than those of ordinary people?

In ancient China, what was referred to as “taking revenge on society” was often not indiscriminate harm to society, but acting on Heaven’s behalf to uphold justice.

Some people say that someone “took revenge on society” again yesterday. In many cases, so-called “revenge on society” is precisely the result of institutionally shaped perceptions. A person falls into hardship but does not know why they have ended up where they are today, nor where the real causes, interests, and structures behind it lie. As a result, they cannot direct their anger at the causes of the problem and can only seek out someone weaker, closer, and easier to hurt as an outlet. In the end, the forces that truly affected their circumstances remain completely unscathed, while another o

The world of the past was defined by confrontations of military force, competing for land and resources; later, by confrontations of power, competing for rules and control; and later still, by confrontations in the media, competing for information, attention, and the power to shape narratives. Now, we are entering a new phase: the competition for AI context.

Lower-level people consume information and are consumed by information; higher-level people deconstruct information and decide how to use it.

Regardless of whether the CLARITY Act passes or the U.S. dollar’s interest rate is raised or lowered by a few points, these factors may theoretically create short-term narratives and price volatility, but for long-term decisions, what matters more is determining whether they have changed the asset’s underlying supply and demand, liquidity cycle, institutional direction, participant structure, and your own rationale for holding it.

Many people on X are overly concerned about the threats posed by AI, mistaking a technological upheaval for a transformation of the underlying laws. But the logic governing the world will not change because of it: human nature, unchanged for thousands of years; scarcity, which will always exist; interests and competition; cycles of prosperity and decline; and the fluctuations of greed and fear. Technology is merely constantly changing the tools and the game board—the underlying laws that truly determine outcomes have never changed.

The essence of entrepreneurship is: understand the boundaries of your capabilities, choose the right direction for creating value, narrow your range of choices, act quickly to validate, build repeatable leverage, continuously iterate based on feedback, and use a long-term approach to turn your advantages into a moat.

The path to wealth: sell your time → increase the value of each unit of time → productize and systematize your abilities → earn repeatable income → accumulate capital → let capital and systems generate compound returns → gradually detach income from your personal time → buy back your time with money → gain the freedom to control your time.
In other words, it is a transition between four identities: worker → system owner → capital owner → owner of your time.

What many second-generation wealthy people truly lack is not money, but the opportunity to complete a cycle of life on their own. From childhood, their resources are provided by their parents, their risks are borne by their parents, and their paths are arranged by their parents. They have the results, but lack the process of “choosing → acting → failing → correcting → achieving,” so they struggle to develop a sense of accomplishment and find it difficult to build a realistic understanding that matches their wealth. Wealth can be inherited, but understanding cannot; someone who has never experi

When you scold, reject, humiliate, or even use violence to force your child to obey when they are young, and they become “obedient” out of fear, what you have actually trained them to do is submit to the powerful, retreat from conflict, and doubt themselves when faced with evaluation. When they grow up and enter society, they simply replace “parents” with bosses, authorities, partners, and the judgment of those around them. Conversely, when you support and encourage them, allow them to express different opinions, let them make their own choices and decisions, and have them bear the consequence

The true dividing line of adulthood is not 18, but “I choose my own life, I know the cost, and I bear the consequences.”

AI’s biggest opportunity is not replacing things that already exist, but making needs that were previously “not viable” viable.
1. Creating things that did not exist before. For example: truly delicious, healthy, low-calorie weight-loss meals that can also be dynamically adjusted based on each person’s body.
2. Creating things people wanted before but that were too costly. For example: a household patrol robot that automatically identifies, tracks, and physically eliminates mosquitoes and other pests 24 hours a day.
3. Creating things that previously could not be scaled. Private teachers, priv

The vast majority of people are merely trained by the world; only a few can observe how the world trains them and then retrain themselves.

A Beijing-based subscriber asked me: What do I think about drones no longer being allowed to be kept at home in Beijing? In fact, the drone issue itself is not the main point. The more realistic issue is that, in the future, the practical value of drones in Beijing will continue to decline, while the costs of ownership and compliance, as well as the risks, will continue to rise, so there is no need to keep one. But behind this issue lies an even bigger trend: Beijing’s greatest value in the past was as a political, economic, and resource center. Jobs, companies, income, and personal connection

Morality is not selflessness, but a more long-term form of self-interest: it may not make you money directly, yet it can reduce friction costs in credit, cooperation, transactions, and relationships. Truly mature people uphold morality not to prove their nobility, but because they understand long-term interactions; restraining short-term gains is often a way of protecting their long-term interests. Morality’s most important function is not to judge others, but to restrain oneself.

Programmers used to be mocked for copying and pasting “code.” Now, those who don’t need programmers have also started copying and pasting “requirements.”
