Dalio: I’m worried about who will control AI in the future.
Jensen Huang: I’ll look into how to turn on hands-free.
Trump: Let’s first figure out who the enemy is, then discuss who controls AI.
Musk: You all keep messing around with Earth; I’ll go build an interstellar civilization.

Elon Musk will eventually merge all his companies into a single company. Because an interstellar civilization needs not several independent enterprises, but a complete 0-to-1 civilization system: energy, AI, robotics, communications, transportation, manufacturing, monetary finance, human-machine interfaces, and ultimately space transportation must all become capabilities within the same system. But the most dangerous part of this vast system is Musk himself.

Some people, the more they deprive themselves, the more they showcase their hardships to the outside world, and the more desperately they try to prove how hard they work, the more easily they are exploited. Because you keep sending the outside world a signal: I can endure, I can shoulder the burden, I don’t dare refuse, and I’m willing to give more in exchange for recognition.

Don’t turn yourself into a mere function: studying only for employment, working only for money, and socializing only for resources—until you become increasingly useful but increasingly empty. What people truly need is not just ability, but also judgment, the ability to settle themselves, and a sense of meaning. So, while being able to solve real-world problems, preserve your own pace, values, and inner world.

Dynastic system cycle formula: = Establish order (end chaos and restore rules) → Release dividends (growth, expansion, and increased opportunities) → Entrench class interests (resources become concentrated among vested interests) → Narrow paths for ordinary people (upward mobility, wealth accumulation, and changing one’s fate become increasingly difficult) → Accumulate contradictions continuously (conflicts over wealth disparity, opportunities, distribution, and expectations intensify) → Strengthen control (compress the space for survival, expression, choice, and exit) → Continuously compress

True security comes only from your ability to solve problems yourself.

Why shouldn’t you help poor people too easily? It’s not because they have no money, but because prolonged deprivation will make a person care more about losing than gaining. Help them ten times, and they will quickly take what they receive for granted; but if you don’t meet their needs the eleventh time, they won’t feel that they have gained one less time—they will feel that they have lost once. What deprivation truly changes is not a person’s wealth, but the weight they assign to gains and losses. So when helping others, especially through ongoing assistance, it’s best to make the terms clear

After the incident: Policies will add more reprimands and penalty rules, launch a crackdown, increase street security and patrols, strengthen mainstream media guidance, suppress the spread of negative narratives, and reinforce short-video and entertainment-content algorithms’ absorption of attention. AI will also become increasingly adept at providing gentle, positive, and acceptable explanations, while creating more outlets for emotional venting, psychological counseling, and the release of social pressure. But they will continue to ignore the hardest problems to solve: ordinary people’s inco

The crypto market is no longer the market it used to be. In the past, the market was essentially a group of people hoping to get rich quick, coming together to seek consensus. Even if that consensus was absurd, as long as enough people believed in it, it could form a price—what people called “even a consensus among fools is still a consensus.” But that phase is coming to an end. The fools will improve, and the harvesters will be forced to improve as well. In the past, it was possible to make money through information asymmetry, narratives, emotions, and mutual exploitation; in the future, it w

News alerts often warn: when a stranger calls you, do not speak first, because they may record your voice and clone it with AI. This warning is not wrong, but it only points out a small part of the risk. In reality, a large number of video streamers have publicly shared their voices online for years, with clearer audio and longer recordings, making them even easier to clone. A real scam has never been as simple as “obtaining a voice recording”; it requires a complete chain: your identity and relationships + a clone of your voice + your + a sufficiently credible scam story. Your voice is only o

A subscriber asked me about an old topic: Why do I recommend that China’s middle class buy a Sam’s Club membership, use an iPhone, and drive a Tesla? It’s not entirely because they are necessarily better in quality, but because they can help you eliminate a great deal of unnecessary judgment and anxiety. Sam’s Club outsources some of the food-safety and selection costs, Apple reduces ads, pop-ups, and intrusive permission requests, and Tesla makes many choices for you: fewer models, fewer configurations, and more consistent quality and experience, turning cars back into tools that don’t requir

Why should you stay committed to long-termism in crypto? Because you are in the midst of a trend. ETFs have been approved, the United States is establishing a strategic Bitcoin reserve, the stablecoin bill has passed, the CLARITY Act continues to advance, banks can custody crypto assets, banks can participate in stablecoin payments, Visa has begun settling transactions with stablecoins, Stripe has acquired stablecoin infrastructure, securities are beginning to be tokenized, retirement funds are beginning to discuss allocating to digital assets, the EU’s MiCA has been fully implemented, Hong Ko

Smart people never let emotions, but rather their interests, drive how they consume information on X. When you see a post, ask yourself first: What does it have to do with me? What can it bring me? Is it signaling opportunities, risks, and growth, or is it merely taking away my attention? What is truly scarce has never been information, but your attention. What the platform wants you to see is content that keeps you from stopping. What you should really be looking at is content that benefits your long-term interests.

Some people who come to the DLL system with questions: their real problem is not that they don’t know how to choose, but that their real lives are too empty and they lack a stable inner anchor. They have nothing they truly love, nothing they consistently create, and no goal worth pursuing over the long term, so they can only keep fantasizing about another kind of life: moving to another city, changing jobs, making a certain amount of money, meeting someone, achieving financial freedom—as if life would become completely different the moment one condition suddenly changed. But even if someone wi

Changing your destiny does not mean fighting the entire world; it means first seeing the world clearly. See how the rules operate, why resources flow to a select few, where opportunities are hidden, and which so-called “right paths” are actually paths others want you to take. True awakening is neither anger nor rebellion, but understanding reality and then refusing to be led by it. You do not need to conquer the world; you only need to understand it, then choose your place within it anew.

Some games cannot make you lose if you do not participate in them. The truly important ability in life is not just learning how to compete, but also learning to recognize the rules. If a game’s rules are inherently unfavorable to you, your chances of winning are extremely low, and losing comes with enormous costs in time, money, and emotional energy, then the optimal strategy is never to study how to win, but to simply walk away. The greatest losses many people suffer in life do not come from lacking ability, but from participating in too many games they should never have entered. Choosing the

Why are there 191 million people with mental disorders in China? (Data from The Lancet) Because from childhood to adulthood, many people are pushed into the same extremely narrow life path: studying, taking exams, pursuing higher education, finding a job, buying a home, getting married, having children, and constantly comparing themselves with others. This society is particularly good at ranking people, but rarely allows them to grow freely. Education stratifies people by scores, work stratifies people by income, cities stratify people by household registration and assets, and marriage stratif

China once had an aristocratic spirit as well, and it was particularly evident during the Spring and Autumn and Warring States periods. The so-called aristocratic spirit did not mean having wealth or status, but rather being bound by honor above self-interest: even if certain actions benefited oneself, they could not be taken, because a person’s identity, credibility, vows, and reputation mattered more than immediate gain. That is why the saying “a scholar dies for one who understands him” existed in that era, and why people would give their lives for promises, recognition, and personal honor.
