Some people say I’m too pessimistic. I say: You have to look at the world pessimistically. Observing the world pessimistically helps you identify risks, institutional flaws, conflicts of interest, the limits of human nature, and the less-than-pleasant realities of how things work. But you don’t have to act pessimistically. Quite the opposite: the more clearly you understand how the world could go wrong, the better equipped you are to find better paths for your own survival and development.

Future crypto exchanges will definitely not be the exchanges we have today. There will be only two kinds of exchanges in the future: those permitted under legal frameworks and decentralized exchanges.

Research shows that mainstream media and algorithm-driven social media have the same cognitive harms on the crowd.

Someone asked me why there’s so much fake news on X. I said X isn’t all fake news; it has content from all kinds of perspectives, but the algorithm is more likely to recommend fake news that gets you excited. So judgment is the most valuable thing, and the vast majority of people don’t have it.

The less a person is constrained by their own sense of scarcity, the more able they are to see the world beyond themselves.

You think you understand the world, but the world has already changed. You think you’re pursuing your interests, but many of your choices are undermining your long-term interests. You think you’re making progress, but you may have been working hard in the wrong place all along. You think you have many options, but there may be very few paths that are truly right for you. You think you still have plenty of time, but the cost of bad decisions keeps adding up. You think you’re in control of your life, but in reality, you may have been driven all along by your environment, systems, emotions, and o

Why is it said that when you constantly criticize a child, they won’t stop loving you, but they will stop loving themselves? The way children first come to know themselves comes from their parents’ judgments. You think you’re correcting mistakes, but they may believe they’re not good enough and don’t deserve to be loved. Over time, what they learn is not to correct their mistakes, but to fear failure, please others, and deny themselves. Truly good parenting doesn’t mean never criticizing; it means criticizing behavior without condemning character, and allowing mistakes without giving up on exp

In ancient China, powerful vested-interest groups collected rent from land in years of plenty, then bought it up at low prices in years of disaster when people were forced to sell, repeating the cycle as land became increasingly concentrated. The same is true today: in times of prosperity, wealth is accumulated through assets; in times of crisis, capital is used to expand ownership. Over thousands of years, eras and systems have changed, but the underlying logic of wealth distribution has remained astonishingly consistent: reap the gains in times of prosperity and acquire assets in times of cr

If you see a product that’s free, there’s no doubt: you are the product. When you don’t have to pay for a product, your attention, behavioral data, consumer preferences, and even your thoughts and decisions may all become resources to be monetized. The most expensive products may be precisely those that make you think you haven’t paid anything at all.

The truly wealthy are not just rich; they have choices. They can choose not to take sides, not to keep creating, to rest whenever they want, to live the way they want, to be alone, not to cater to others, to say no to things they dislike, not to take part in meaningless competition, to stop proving themselves, to spend their time as they please, to leave any environment they dislike, to start over whenever they want, and even to do nothing.

General AI expands humanity’s ability to transform the world, while DLL expands individuals’ ability to understand the world, find their place in it, and shape their own destiny.

In this world, all the ultra-rich and all the poor ultimately face the same question: which side to take.

Why do we say that many people don’t truly love money? Because money is alive: cherish it, and it will love you back. Truly loving money doesn’t mean being reluctant to spend it; it means knowing how to keep it flowing. Spend it on things that help you grow, gaining knowledge, perspective, skills, and opportunities in return. Let money take part in creating value, help others solve problems, and earn returns through exchange. Like people, money needs freedom and a place of its own. Money isn’t meant to be trapped. The better you are at managing it, the more willingly it will gather around you.

The internet has made money by selling users' attention; in the future, more business models will make money by directly selling capabilities.
Use the DLL system to enhance your capabilities and find your place.

The ways people interact boil down to control, cooperation, competition, dependence, exchange, confrontation, and exit. When someone believes they can control you, they may choose to dominate you; when control fails but they still need you, they may turn to cooperation; when cooperation no longer serves their interests, they may turn to competition or confrontation; when the relationship no longer has value, they may choose to leave. Relationships between people are essentially a dynamic balance of needs, interests, power, and choices. True freedom means always having the right to choose, refu

Why are so few people able to stand out? Because most people want greater rewards for less effort, while a small minority are willing to live with uncertainty over the long term and do things that show no results in the short term but steadily build advantages over time. What truly sets people apart is not how much hardship they endure, but the direction they choose, the costs they are willing to bear, and their ability to make their efforts compound.

What is true love? Love does not need to be proven. Love is giving unilaterally, not taking from each other. I love you—that is my freedom; whether you love me is your freedom. I can choose to give, and I can choose to take it back at any time. None of this needs to be proven by the other person’s response. When two people each freely give love unilaterally, they form the ideal mutual relationship. The freedom of love lies not only in being able to choose whom I love, but also in always having the right to stop giving.

Why are older generations in China so particular about table manners? If the elders haven't picked up their chopsticks, the younger ones can't eat; the elders get first pick of the best dishes, and the young can't snatch them. On the surface, this is about respecting one's elders. Beneath it lies a logic of resource competition shaped by long-term food scarcity. In traditional agricultural society, productivity was limited, and there often wasn't enough food to go around. When they were young, people could get more food through physical strength and labor contributions. But everyone grows old

A storm is brewing. All crises ultimately converge on a structural consensus.
