Overly impatient young people are either eager to fleece others or eager to become someone else’s mark.

A subscriber asked me: How do I view the various new theories emerging online? I believe the internet has never lacked opinions; what it lacks are ideas that have stood the test of reality over the long term. Many so-called theories are simplified explanations for specific scenarios. By ignoring real-world conditions, conflicts of interest, and external variables, they construct a seemingly self-consistent logic that gives people the illusion of understanding the world. But explaining part of something does not mean explaining the whole, and logical consistency does not mean conformity with re

Why are so many people good at criticizing but not at getting things done? Because criticizing only requires pointing out problems, while taking action requires solving them. Bystanders can judge right and wrong from the standpoint of morality and personal positions, but those who take action must face real-world constraints, conflicts of interest, scarce resources, and responsibility for the outcome. Criticism can pursue ideal answers, while action must seek feasible solutions under imperfect conditions. The real gap in understanding lies not in who is better at spotting problems, but in who

Someone asked me what it means to find yourself: to know yourself and understand who you are; to understand yourself and know why you are the way you are; to accept yourself and acknowledge your strengths and limitations; to affirm yourself and not let others’ evaluations determine your worth; to trust yourself and dare to take responsibility for your judgments; to respect yourself and establish your own principles and boundaries; to be true to yourself and not betray yourself to please the world; to become yourself, live according to your own will, and bear the cost of your choices; to transc

Someone asked me, why the fuck do bad people always win? I said, because you only see the bad; in reality, everything they do is most in accordance with the way of heaven.

The five levels of wealth: start as the house > create something from nothing > get something for nothing > borrow a chicken to lay eggs > work like a beast of burden.

The current situation is: the rich and smart have left, the rich fools have become fewer, and poor fools are everywhere. Then they started PUAing this group of fools.

To judge whether a person is free, look at whether two-thirds of their time is spent achieving their own goals or carrying out someone else’s will. If the latter is true over the long term, and they do not even have the ability to refuse or leave, then regardless of how high their income is, it is essentially a form of modern slavery.

When we were young, adults told us that people who swore all the time were bad people. As we grew up, we discovered that we were becoming increasingly polite, proper, and restrained, yet also increasingly repressed. Meanwhile, those who often swore were not necessarily bad at heart; some even lived more freely than we did. Only later did we understand that whether a person is good or bad is not determined by how civilized their language is, but by how they treat others. Many people are taught from childhood how to be a proper person, but never learn how to face their true emotions. Anger canno

Someone asked me how to view China’s social security system and what to do about it. There are actually just three issues: it is not economically worthwhile, it lacks institutional trust, and more importantly, whether you yourself have the ability to manage your future. Social security itself is not an investment, but social protection and wealth redistribution; it is also a form of taxation. The gap in benefits between public-sector and non-public-sector employees, longer contribution periods, delayed retirement, and population aging are all structural problems. But criticizing the system is

Why is fate’s arrangement more comprehensive than your plans? In fact, this is not metaphysics, but probability. Human plans are constrained by cognition and information, while reality is determined by countless unknown variables. So-called fate is essentially the probabilistic outcome formed by a person’s repeated choices over time within a given environment, level of understanding, and behavioral patterns. Most people cannot break free from their fate because they continue using the same mindset, making similar choices in the same environment. Those who truly break free from fate are not abl

Subscribers ask me why so many Chinese people have recently come to 𝕏. Some of the people who came to X before were here to trade crypto, while others had recognized the trend in China’s speech environment earlier. Many of those coming to X today have been driven out, passively witnessing the trend toward censorship and crackdowns. The former saw where the money was flowing and migrated proactively; the latter were forced to flee only after their money was nearly harvested.

The most effective way to persuade someone is not to demand that they accept your standards, but to lead them, according to their own standards, to a conclusion they were initially unwilling to accept.

A giant parasite can only hope that the host’s corpse can still stand up.

Do you know what substance may be responsible for the delightful fragrance of jasmine and orange blossom, or even fruity sweetness? It is “3-methylindole.” At extremely low concentrations, it can produce alluring floral and sweet scents; but as its concentration rises, it gives off intense fecal and putrid odors. That is why it also has another name: skatole. The same substance, with its molecules unchanged, can shift from pleasing to disgusting solely because its concentration differs. This is also an important perspective for understanding the world: many things do not have absolute good or

I particularly dislike a phrase commonly said by Chinese people: “What is there to be proud of in such a small achievement?” Why can’t someone feel proud of their own small progress? Why must one wait until achieving fame and success before being worthy of affirming oneself? People need positive feedback to have the motivation to keep taking action. Regularly celebrating your small victories is not arrogance or complacency; it is a way of continually reinforcing your awareness of success. Someone who knows how to celebrate small successes is more likely to achieve great success.

Why are so many AI professionals in China enthusiastic about making videos and producing content, while so many AI entrepreneurs in North America are enthusiastic about programming and developing products? The difference lies not only in the application of technology, but also in differences in social systems, economic structures, and mechanisms for distributing benefits. If a society makes it easier for ordinary people to earn income by competing for attention, people will use the most advanced technology to compete for traffic; if it makes it easier for ordinary people to earn income by solv
