"We don't have to officially submit our credentials, our main job is actually to wander around. β
Naturally, the evening is a time for everyone to brag and fart.
Although the food in the secret realm is monotonous, the quality of the vegetables is very good, although there is little meat, in fact, there is almost no meat to eat, but if you eat it in the short term, it is still very healthy.
The gold wire glasses seemed to be deeply silent, looking mysterious and secretive, Wang Jian suspected that among the people here, the person who was responsible for secretly contacting and exchanging benefits with the people of the secret realm was this goods, so he was willing to get closer.
Of course, a few Yanei, especially the slightly fat guy, suddenly laughed lewdly and said, "Wait a minute, do you want to go out and play?"
"Get out?"
"I inquired, there are also sauna places here, and they are all specially cultivated, they are perfect, much better than ours, and they only need to exchange things with the people of the secret realm, and they are good after the fact, thoughtful. β
The gold wire glasses immediately said: "The big thing is ahead, so don't mess around." β
Wang Jian was silent for a moment, and suddenly felt that everyone looked at him without a trace.
Of course he knew what it meant, and when he revealed that he knew Long Yifei, naturally everyone looked at him differently.
Hurriedly said: "Well, it's really not good, the two sides are still engaged in diplomacy, let's not add to the chaos, let's rest early, there are a lot of things, won't there be any dinner in a few days." β
"Yo Yo, go together, do you want to go to that person at night, I won't spare you. β
"Look at what you said, that's our school ......."
But Wang Jian still shuddered, how to explain this home, parents, I brought my girlfriend to show you, ah, she is not a classmate, she is my principal......
It's not a glorious thing to put the headmaster, especially at the moment, and it does pull hatred.
"Brother Wang is accompanied by beauties, so he naturally looks down on us idlers, hey. β
"Hmph, if you don't go, don't eat together, don't give face. β
Wang Jian thought for a moment and said, "Okay." β
However, he hurried back to report it.
"That's right, they're going to go out in the evening, you guys rest first, I'll be back before midnight. β
"Remember to make a little movement when you come back and wipe your mouth clean. β
Long Yifei didn't raise his head to look at the information.
Lu Qingyi also seemed to ignore it, but as soon as Wang Jian came out of the room, she jumped up and said, "Hey, hey, do you care about men like this, he doesn't care if he goes to that kind of place?"
"He went to the club to fight and perform before, don't you care, besides......" Long Yifei's eyes showed a sly gaze: "Wild dogs will always have enough hardships outside before they will know the warmth of home, as for whether they will do bad things...... Oh, take it and use it. β
Long Yifei threw over a thing, where would Lu Qingyi be hard to connect, a green coat suddenly changed, the sleeves were like a hand, and he took the thing, and when he looked closely, it was a button.
However, after subconsciously holding it, it seemed to change, and Lu Qingyi found that he heard something: "Hey, I thought you couldn't get out, after all, the school actually came with two people, especially the one who was willing to let you out." β
"Wherever and wherever the principal cares about the reputation of the school, it can't compare to the freedom and freedom of you. β
"Haha, wait a minute, let you see and understand, the women in this secret realm, I have heard about it a long time ago, but unlike those violent and philistine women, it is real gentleness, and it is gentleness that has been cultivated since childhood. β
Is it gentle.
This is understandable to Wang Jian.
All the good qualities that you think are rare are because of ignorance.
There was once an Annanite who smuggled into a western country and froze to death in a truck.
But some people calculated afterwards that if these people came to China to work, from the highest confinement lady to the workers in the factory, the income was actually not low, and even because they were closer to home and the system was more perfect, the money they got in the end could even be more!
But people don't know.
Information asymmetry.
The girl in the secret realm is indeed gentle enough.
The orchard needs to hire 3 employees to pick oranges. It is required to be at least 170 tall and have sound limbs. As a result, 100 qualified applicants were presented.
The owner of the orchard wanted to pick 3 people at random, but the unsuccessful ones couldn't get away, so they crowded at the gate of the orchard to protest, asking the owner to give an explanation, he fully met the application conditions, why should he recruit others and not recruit me.
The owner had no choice but to modify the application conditions and re-recruit. The new conditions are: height 180 or above, sound limbs.
As a result, there are still 50 people who are eligible. Re-change conditions: height 180 or above, sound limbs, orchard work experience. There are 30 people left who are eligible. Continue to change: height 180 or above, sound limbs, orchard work experience, bachelor degree or above.
The remaining 20 people continue to change: height 180 or more, sound limbs, orchard work experience, more than one academic degree, major in biochemical environmental materials, more than one programming language, and one talent (piano, calligraphy, painting, singing, etc.).
There were 5 people left, playing in the ring, and the top 3 were hired.
As a result, the hired person was hospitalized due to serious injuries and spent a lot of medical expenses.
"Involution" is so magical and realistic.
The additional conditions have little or no effect on improving the efficiency of orange picking. Under such saturated competition, productivity and the "big cake" will decline instead of increasing, further intensifying competition and falling into a vicious circle. In view of the fact that some students in the comment area suggested that it was caused by overcrowding, overcrowding, and insufficient per capita resources.
To clarify, this example is mainly used to point out a manifestation of involution, not to explore the causes of involution. Although the premise of 100 people competing for three jobs is given in this example, it does not mean that excessive competition will inevitably lead to involution. In contrast, single values, unreasonable resource allocation, and information asymmetry may be the more direct causes of involution.
Involution is the single mode of production and vicious competition brought about by single values, and the vicious circle on this basis. To give two of the simplest examples: an ancient dynasty was originally 60% arable land, 20% grassland, and 20% forest, but because the population was too large to support, it was forced to open up new arable land, so it destroyed the forest and grassland, and the destruction of the forest led to soil erosion, and the quality of cultivated land deteriorated - this fell into the vicious circle of "can't support people - cut down forests - soil erosion - can't support people - cut down forests", which is the most standard, textbook-style involution. Another example is a person who could have worked eight hours, exercised for an hour, read for an hour, and hobby for an hour, but because the company required overtime - he fell into a vicious circle of "forced to work overtime - no time to exercise - poor health - bad state - poor performance - forced to work overtime", which is involution.
As can be seen from the above, the following two conditions need to be met to cause involution:
Single values: take the cultivated land as the key, work performance as the key, and everything else can be sacrificed.
Vicious competition: always struggling on the edge of survival, without any time and financial margin to adjust the development route.
Assuming the number of candidates in a province, the number of admitted places remains unchanged, that is, the acceptance rate remains unchanged.
Now there is a school where high school students are required to study 14 hours a day, and make up classes during winter and summer vacations and weekends. The effect of this operation is to increase the acceptance rate of school A in a short period of time.
This sweetness of the increase in the admission rate made schools B, C and D envious, so they all decided to learn from school A and implement the teaching management model of school A.
Fearing that the increase in the admission rate of schools A, B, C, and D would lead to a relative decline in the admission rate of the rest of the secondary schools in a certain province, the rest of the schools in the province had to adopt a follow-up strategy to learn and promote the teaching management model of school A.
Eventually, all middle schools in a province began to force students to study 14 hours a day, canceling winter and summer vacations and weekends.
As a result, due to the adoption of the model of school A in the whole province, although the test scores of each school have generally risen, under the premise that the acceptance rate of the college entrance examination remains unchanged, the admission rate of each school is almost the same as before the promotion of the model of school A (for example, the original line was 550 points, due to the general improvement of student scores, the first line was adjusted to 590 points, resulting in the acceptance rate of each school is no different from before the promotion of school A).
In the process, secondary school students have to invest more time and resources in order to improve their scores. Due to the increase in the admission score of the college entrance examination in the province, the score of individual students seems to be improving, but judging from the admission results, this investment is meaningless. This is called score growth, but there is no real increase in the probability of students getting into a good university, that is, "growth without development" - involution.
There is indeed a way to fight involution, and that is brainwashing.
There is no noise of the girls upstairs and downstairs coming down to pick up customers, but it is very harmonious and very elegant.
Wang Jian and the others were wearing civilian clothes, in fact, they were simply covering their ears and stealing bells, and suddenly someone finally remembered that this was a secret realm, no matter how debauched the remains were, could they still be passed back home.
It's almost impossible, and even if the two countries are at war, even if it worsens, spreading the appearance of the other party's children being merry and happy within their own homes seems to be unilaterally boosting the morale of the other side.
Individual interests are appealed to form a collective system. Human beings are selfish by nature, so the system that has developed is private ownership. Why is polygamy or polyandry eliminated from history? because after addressing the basic issue of species endangerment, the asymmetry of mating rights can lead to social unrest. Because everyone is selfish, no one wants to share a wife with others. If I go to prostitution today, how can I make sure that my wife is not secretly selling? Therefore, in order to protect the best interests of everyone, monogamy is widely accepted. The so-called fairness is actually achieved by the selfishness of countless people. Of course, if we talk about polygamy, or prostitution and the like, there is a resurgence. Then it shows that the inequality in the allocation of social resources has reached a considerable extent, and the transfer and sale of mating rights will occur.
The essence of morality is actually the arrogance of the seven deadly sins. The source of all morality can be traced back to arrogance. On the one hand, people think that they are higher than animals and have higher emotions. At the same time, a commercial system was developed, in which money was traded in exchange for services, and the allocation of resources and the growth of productivity were realized. However, there is a contradiction between the two. On the one hand, people's emotions for themselves are precious and advanced. On the one hand, it is trading it. The universal value thus developed is that prostitution is bad, because intimate physical contact symbolizes the integration of emotions, while prostitution allows people without an emotional basis to enjoy physical pleasures. Prostitution is thus seen as a symbol of trampling on the higher human emotions, because it recognizes the commercial value of the flesh over the human emotions. This is not accepted in the universal values of human society.
Or, conversely, suppose that human beings approve of prostitution and regularize it. On the one hand, it can be argued that the allocation of resources in this society is highly unequal. On the one hand, it can be argued that capitalism has materialized man to such a high level that it has shattered the shackles of morality. In such a society, there seems to be nothing that cannot be bought and sold. Going back to my question of arrogance, think about it, what is the image of a prostitute in general? Is it arrogant? Is it self-respecting? Prostitution itself is a disguised sale of self-esteem. In addition to physical pleasure, the client also enjoys the overriding of self-esteem. You can go to the zoo and see the monkeys on the show, and the trainer tells them to do whatever they want, or they will have no reward or food, or they will be beaten. And under capitalism, humans are not much more advanced than monkeys. If you don't complete your work assignment, won't your boss scold you, deduct your salary, or even fire you for squid? So there's no need to laugh at the women who sell because you're poor, because you're not much better. But those who sell for pleasure and excitement are called self-willing.
If human feelings, or human beings themselves, are commodities, then how do we distinguish between "commodities" and "commodity owners"? Some people say that we can set ourselves up as "not for sale". However, the more "non-sale" it is in the consumer society, the more it can stimulate people's desire to consume, because it is scarce enough. This is the hopelessness of humanity. Under the topic of prostitution, human beings' higher emotions and mating rights act as this "non-sale", but the more human society exaggerates its "non-tradability", the more it stimulates the consumption of it, and "attacking prostitution" is actually equivalent to advertising it at this level. A similar phenomenon is observed in other commodity trades, such as drugs. Do you know why the more drugs are cracked down, the more difficult it is to eliminate? Because the more drugs are cracked down, the more scarce they become, and the more scarce they are, the higher their value, and the higher their value, the more people will take risks. The phenomenon of strange goods is actually a reflection of people's pursuit of "no one else has me" mentality in a commodity society. And why do people pursue "no one has what I have"? It is because people are always hovering between the three variants of arrogance: inferiority, self-esteem, and arrogance. And strive to transition to ultimate arrogance. In a commodity society, to put it in layman's terms, it is the absolute possession of the allocation of resources. Therefore, if there is no legal constraint, practically everyone wants to commit a crime.
