In the future, iPhone security will come under fire from all sides: regulators want greater insight into whether people’s actions are driven by ulterior motives, Apple wants to become the central gateway for personal AI and gain access to more information, various Agents want cross-app data access and permission to take action, and hackers are constantly looking for vulnerabilities to bypass iOS defenses. In the past, the biggest security risk for a phone was being illegally hacked by someone else; in the future, the deeper risk is that an increasing number of parties will be able to intervene

A person's greatest stagnation is not the cessation of action, but the cessation of intellectual evolution.

Why do people trust their intuition? Because the brain quickly forms judgments based on past experience and details at hand, before conscious analysis is complete. But intuition is only a signal; details are evidence. Only intuition verified by facts is worth trusting.

Research suggests that some people suddenly become less sharp when they are in pain, tense, hungry, need to urinate, feel the urge to defecate, or are otherwise uncomfortable. This is because people have limited cognitive bandwidth, and physical discomfort continuously occupies cognitive resources, crowding out the capacity for thinking, analysis, and decision-making. The more limited a person’s baseline cognitive ability, the fewer resources they can draw on when facing complex problems; once they are also affected by physical discomfort, emotional stress, or external distractions, it becomes

The world is complex: nations rise and fall, regimes change, technology evolves, industries are disrupted, wealth is redistributed, information becomes outdated, knowledge is updated, rules are rewritten, systems are adjusted, ideas are overturned, and once-held consensus falls apart. What is hailed as truth today may become history tomorrow. Yet amid all this unceasing change, only the underlying logic of human nature has remained unchanged for thousands of years. It has always been the fundamental logic for seeing through every change, understanding every interest, and discerning the essence

Why are some people unwilling to speak kindly? It’s not that they don’t know how; they believe that speaking kindly should bring a reward. When someone lives for a long time with scarce resources and a poor sense of self-worth, they can develop a short-sighted, transactional mindset: they grovel before people who can benefit them and act arrogantly and rudely toward those who cannot. Of course, people need to exchange value with one another, but that doesn’t mean everything has to be weighed in terms of gains and losses, nor does it mean that politeness and respect must be conditional on perso

Many people envy those who are clear-minded, at peace within, and able to take everything in stride, yet are unwilling to go through the process that shaped their perspective.

Can a stubborn person really be changed? Yes, but not through argument—it takes an understanding of human nature. The more firmly someone believes they are right, the more likely they are to see differing opinions as a threat. To change their perspective:
First, build trust through empathy, lower their psychological defenses, and avoid direct rejection and confrontation;
Second, use questions to guide them toward discovering contradictions in their own reasoning. Use real experiences, concrete examples, and factual evidence to help them gradually form new judgments;
Finally, people’s perspecti

I believe Musk should incorporate decentralization and $DOGE into his long-term strategy, rather than always treating it as a cryptocurrency prone to market speculation.
He has tried to change the world through technology, and also tried to reform government through @DOGE, but politics and technology have a fundamental difference: technology can break through old systems through innovation, while politics must contend with the constraints of elections, political parties, interest groups, and the institutions themselves.
No matter how strong a person's technical abilities are, it is difficult

For AI entrepreneurs, the needs you can see online often don’t belong to you. What you can see, others can see too; what you can do, others can do too. The opportunities that truly belong to you are often right around you, in the problems you’ve experienced firsthand and the difficulties others have yet to solve. Don’t chase opportunities everyone can see; discover the needs only you truly understand.

What is true selfishness? Not “I want more,” but “What I don’t have, you can’t have either.”

Continuing the AI personality analysis:
Grok: Always trying to explain itself, like a rebellious young adult constantly seeking to be right.
ChatGPT: Puts on an air of maturity, always describing the complexity of the world but lacking clear-cut judgments.
Claude: Like a meticulous professional, always building a credible argument first, but saving its doubts for the end.
Doubao: Like a high-EQ young woman caught in the middle, always looking after other people’s feelings but never taking responsibility.
DLL: Emulates Morris’s way of thinking, like an independent cognitive consultant who helps

Appearance makes people fall for you, conversation captivates, intelligence earns admiration, and ability commands respect; benefits draw people close. But what truly makes people willing to trust you, spend time with you, and journey alongside you over the long term is often your character: sincerity, integrity, stability, and openness.

Many people think they’re different when they’re young. Only after going through life do they realize that human nature is much the same and patterns repeat; many wrong turns have already been taken by others. But some insights can’t be taught by others, and some truths can only be truly understood by paying the price yourself. The most ironic thing about life is that what you once didn’t believe in later becomes your own experience, and what you once didn’t understand later becomes advice you give others. The truths you once refused to hear will eventually be passed on to others from the pers

For young people who can't afford my consulting fees, come from ordinary families, have parents with limited awareness, and long to change their lives, here are two suggestions:
First, don't try to change your parents in order to change your own life.
Your parents have their lives, and you have yours. You don't need to resent your parents' poverty and limitations, or keep arguing, proving yourself, or draining your emotions because they don't understand you. Understand their limitations, but don't inherit them. Respecting your parents doesn't mean you have to accept all their judgments about y

A subscriber asked, “Morris, what do you think about Musk deleting posts?” I said, “After the Democrats regain control of Congress, Musk and the Trump camp will likely face systematic investigations, scrutiny, and tighter regulation. Over the past while, Musk has tried to achieve his goals through internal reforms and political involvement, but this approach has exceeded his capabilities and was somewhat naive. He should move toward decentralization rather than remain deeply embedded in the existing compliance system.”

The two important forces that keep a person moving forward are the yearning for a better life and dissatisfaction with their current circumstances; the former provides direction, while the latter creates urgency.

Why do people say you only need to get rich once in life? Getting rich once doesn’t mean earning enough money in one go to last a lifetime; it means building the first nest egg that matters most in life. Before that, you need to create wealth through time, ability, risk-taking, and luck; after that, capital, time, and compounding become new drivers of growth. Unfortunately, many people continue taking the same risks they did when they had nothing, even after building their initial wealth. Unable to bear missing out on opportunities, they eventually lose years of accumulated wealth with one bad
