Why are there so many money-making opportunities in the AI era? Because AI has taken over the pie already allocated in the internet era, but it has not yet decided who the pie will ultimately belong to. The old order is failing, while the new order has yet to take shape. Next comes the time to redistribute the pie—to be claimed by those who are smart, perceptive, and capable of execution.

When you come across content that gives you a real dopamine hit, you truly control your attention only when you can still pause, think, and then swipe away on your own.

Everyone has started secretly making money using AI, while you're still studying the economic downturn.

Success never actively seeks out someone who only dabbles. What truly separates people is not intelligence or chance opportunities, but whether you can continue investing enough time in one important and worthwhile endeavor. Most people are not without opportunities; they simply leave before the results appear. Success is, in essence, the result of long-term accumulation breaking through a critical threshold: if you do not invest deeply enough or persist long enough, you will never reach the point where compounding begins.

Three counter-human-nature abilities that enable long-term upward growth: solving problems, delaying gratification, and continuously correcting course.

When someone imitates the way another person speaks, they are often closest to their true self. They think they are acting like someone else, but what they actually reveal is themselves.

Many ancient Western classics teach people how to overcome fear: “Do not be afraid.” You will die, and you do not know the future, but do not be afraid, because there is some order greater than yourself. China’s mainstream Confucian classics focus more on teaching people how to submit to order: “Restrain yourself and restore ritual—that is benevolence.” Fathers and sons, rulers and subjects, elders and juniors each have their place; rites, righteousness, responsibility, and social roles constrain the individual, reinforcing the suppression of the self and freedom. Daoism, represented by Zhuang

Human nature can be disappointing, because most of the time, people are caught up in reality, self-interest, and self-preservation; but human nature can also occasionally transcend reality, becoming courageous, kind, selfless, and radiant. Zhuangzi said: “Human life between heaven and earth is like a white colt passing through a crack—gone in an instant.” That is why such radiance is often brief and accidental. Beauty need not last forever; precisely because it is fleeting, it seems precious. Reality is not necessarily cruel either—it is simply the underlying tone of the world’s long-running c

The most valuable people in the future will possess four abilities: agency, aesthetic sense, judgment, and creativity.

China’s old-timer assets collapse: premium baijiu, jadeite, jewelry, jade, diamonds, luxury watches, antiques, calligraphy and paintings, redwood furniture, stamps, commemorative coins, collectibles, dzi beads, tea, old coins, vintage cameras, traditional luxury cars, school-district housing, villas, commercial properties, apartments, collectible-grade tobacco and alcohol, and all kinds of physical collectibles that supposedly “become more valuable the longer they are held”……
China’s new-timer assets take the stage: BTC, gold, VOO, Q, global stocks, AI monthly subscriptions, robots, computing

There are now far too many opportunities to make money. But these opportunities do not come from the efficiency brought by AI; they depend on entrepreneurs’ cognitive abilities: their capacity for critical thinking, judgment, decision-making, long-term commitment, and willingness to take responsibility for their mistakes.

In 2027, the wave of Web2 company bankruptcies begins.

Some say AI is dangerous, while others say politics is dangerous. But from the perspective of an ordinary individual’s interests, these threats are often beyond your ability to change. A more realistic path is to change yourself, giving yourself more choices and the ability to avoid, relocate, and start over when risks arise.

Smart people first see through the world, then decide whether to change themselves or change the world. Foolish people cannot see through the world, yet always demand that the world operate according to their own ideas.

Selling hope is one of the best businesses in the world. Through systems of government, finance, education, careers, and assets, the old order sells people the hope of certainty; after the returns of the old rules decline and trust begins to erode, the new order sells another kind of possibility for the future. Truly sophisticated participants often do not simply believe in one narrative or another; they understand where hope is migrating from and where it is migrating to: some define the old order, some create the new order, while more people build tools, channels, services, and infrastructur

8 ways to become stronger without pain: act first and figure things out later, rest even when you’re feeling good, repeat what you’ve learned immediately, reduce external stimulation, break difficulties into smaller tasks, use your environment instead of willpower, repeat a few effective actions, and regularly review your progress and eliminate ineffective efforts.

Many people know they need to persist in doing the right thing. But the real problem is that, at the beginning, you have no idea what the right thing is. What is considered “right” is often not figured out, but ultimately validated through constant repetition, iteration, testing, and feedback. So what truly matters is not just persisting in doing the right thing, but persisting until you find the right thing.

In a place where class divisions are entrenched, once the rules have been completely seized by vested interests, a young person who wants to change their fate and no longer remain poor inevitably faces an extremely high cost. Because the rules themselves exist to protect established interests. Once all legal, safe, and high-return paths have been occupied in advance, latecomers seeking substantial gains can only base their opportunities on violating the existing rules. Either they break the law or search for loopholes whose chances are extremely slim, whose risks are extremely high, and which
