If you have questions about life, you can become a subscriber and ask me for advice.

The things AI agents have been doing lately are all close to the money: quantitative trading, prediction markets, e-commerce shopping, cyberattacks, and algorithm cracking.

You know what? When building a one-person company, sometimes you don’t jump straight into developing an idea. Instead, you bring multiple AIs together to meet, brainstorm, and conduct live market research, discussing, challenging assumptions, and looking for opportunities and risks from different angles. After several days of repeatedly refining the idea, you settle on a direction worth validating. Then you establish a product constitution, clarifying the goals, principles, and boundaries, before starting development, testing, and iteration. You validate it in the real market, continually adju

What’s truly costly isn’t what’s free, but exchanges where you don’t know what you’ve paid or how to exit.

Some people maintain their integrity because they are poor, lacking the resources and opportunities to do wrong; some are kind because they lack the ability to scheme against others, rather than because they actively choose kindness. You cannot judge a person’s character only by how they behave when they are disadvantaged; you must also look at how they treat others once they have power, resources, and choices. People truly worthy of trust are not those incapable of doing wrong, but those who have the ability and opportunity to do wrong and something to gain from it, yet still choose not to.

Throughout Chinese history, severe famines have occurred repeatedly. Why have farmers, who directly produce food, often been the group with the highest concentration of deaths? Why have farmers in some mountainous areas with poor soil and low grain yields survived certain famines? Because producing grain does not mean having control over it. Although plains have high agricultural productivity, their flat terrain, convenient transportation, and concentrated villages also make it cheaper to count, transport, and collect grain.
When those in power control food distribution, farmers may be unable

According to research, people who know how to play have higher life satisfaction. Play is not just entertainment, but also the ability to actively explore the world, create experiences, and find joy. Life satisfaction does not depend entirely on how much a person has, but on how much happiness, meaning, and experience they can create from the circumstances they have.

A guide for ordinary people in China to reduce social friction: cut back on pointless socializing, don’t argue with people whose level of understanding differs too much from yours, stay away from crowded places, avoid rush hour, use public transportation less, walk, bike, or drive yourself whenever possible, travel on weekdays, work remotely, eat at off-peak times, avoid working for others if possible, run your own global online business, message instead of calling whenever possible, handle things online instead of going in person whenever possible, shop at Sam’s Club regularly, use an iPhone,

Spending more time with wealthy people and experiencing more sophisticated things is a good thing. It can broaden your horizons and give you a clearer sense of direction for the future. But most importantly, what matters is whether these experiences can help you find a path to achieving your goals and turn into concrete action, rather than merely amplifying your desires and suffering.

How can you tell if you might be depressed? You’ve lost interest in everything, feel tired doing anything, can’t sleep at night and don’t want to get up during the day, constantly overthink, often feel sad for no apparent reason, don’t want to see anyone or talk, get increasingly irritable, can’t concentrate on tasks, always feel like you’re not good enough, can’t get motivated to do anything, increasingly dislike yourself, have no expectations for the future, feel like life has no meaning, or even don’t want to live anymore.

From 2026 to 2027, hackers will begin massively using AI to rake in money, while vulnerabilities from the internet’s past decades will emerge one after another.

If they want to launch altcoins and fleece retail investors in the future, they may first have to set up a publicly listed company in the United States. In the past, anyone could launch an altcoin, tell a story, and find people willing to buy the bags. Now there are more and more altcoins, but fewer and fewer people willing to participate. Those established crypto project companies have already begun looking into acquiring U.S.-listed companies at low prices, or simply going public themselves. Capital is always looking for new liquidity. It is not that these people suddenly want to run legitim

When you want to reclaim autonomy over your life and begin taking control of your own body, you will find: gym membership: $260/month. Professional road bike: $13,499. Protein powder: $132. Outdoor shell jacket: $900. Sports watch: $1,000. Auto-follow drone: $699. You originally just wanted to exercise and regain control of your life. Only to discover that commercial society had long prepared an entire consumption plan for your freedom. Want to be healthy? You can consume. Want to be disciplined? You can consume. Want to get close to nature? You can consume. Want to escape the city? You can co

In an open society, AI and robots will gradually take over productive labor, freeing people from the pressure of survival and giving them more freedom, time, and creativity, allowing them to return to their human nature. In a closed society, AI and robots will likewise take over productive labor, but the more concentrated productivity becomes, the more individuals may depend on institutional allocation and may even need to exchange obedience for the resources necessary for survival.

Why is the world beginning to allow you to know more and more things you previously did not know? Because knowing these things no longer means that you possess the ability to change your circumstances. When knowledge can be accessed at any time and technology can be executed by machines, information itself is no longer scarce. What is truly scarce is whether you can understand the mechanisms behind it, command the necessary resources, form independent judgments, and turn your understanding into action.

An ordinary person’s life: enters prison at age 6 and undergoes 12 years of standardized reformation; released after serving their sentence at 18 and entering a 3–4-year parole observation period; officially enters society at 22 and begins 40 years of labor reformation; gains freedom in their 60s, only to discover that their body has aged and their energy is depleted, ultimately ending their life amid illness. Many people never realize that they could have had a different life. They spend their entire lives obeying the established order, yet rarely have the chance to ask themselves: Whom, exac

Giving up is not losing opportunities, but preventing resources from being spread too thin; repetition is not standing still, but ensuring that every action builds on what came before.

A subscriber said he lost hundreds of thousands due to a typhoon. In fact, the same typhoon caused losses for some people, while others earned income through disaster prevention, repairs, reconstruction, and the supply of materials. Changes in the world themselves do not determine everyone’s gains and losses; what truly determines the outcome is the position you occupy, the resources you possess, and your ability to respond to change. One person’s risk may be another person’s opportunity; the decline of one industry may signify the rise of another. Understanding the world means looking not onl

When a person remains in a certain state for a long time, it is often not because they have never thought about changing, but because they have already formed what they consider a reasonable set of choices based on their own understanding, resources, risk tolerance, and preference for interests. They want greater returns without increasing their investment; they hope to break through their current situation without taking on new risks. As a result, every proposed change is rejected by their existing standards of judgment. What truly limits growth is not necessarily ability or opportunity, but
