The essence of industrial society is that of a machine society.

Standardized operation, every screw must be tightly fitted, all systems and activities have standards, all social activities follow the standards, the Internet can be entered to see the fact that behind the unified code, the core is 0 and 1, this is a machine society that constantly pursues higher industrial efficiency, which is a society that annihilates human nature.

The laborers who can't lift their heads on the production line, the uniformity of Nazi Germany, the T-car assembly line, Chaplin screwing, Khrushchev's tube building, and getting married all have three major standards, everyone is like a clone in a suit and tie, and soon human beings find that they can't adapt to the rhythm of machines, and they would rather reduce efficiency than enter the post-industrial era.

The essence of industrial civilization is the exploration of the microcosm, which in turn acts on the macrocosm, which sees the elemental level, and the macrocosm sees hydrogen, oxygen, poison gas, electricity, lamps, electrical appliances, steel, armor steel, special steel, aerospace, chemical achievements, physical achievements, and so on.

The study of the microcosm is the essence, and the macrocosm of airplanes, cannons, and mobile phones is the appearance.

The more essential things are, the simpler they are, the binary machine language of 0 and 1 is the essence, everything that can be seen on the computer is the appearance, and the realization of the appearance is the methodology.

The strength of an industrial country is directly proportional to its basic scientific research, which is at the macro level. High-tech products are at the level of applied science, which is the appearance of the macro level, and the real high-tech is basic science, and the deeper the exploration of the microscopic, the deeper the understanding of the universe.

Monopoly capitalism, commonly known as imperialism, is from classical capitalism all the way to classical and monopoly capitalism, all the way to the peak of industrialization, more and more disciplined, society is becoming more and more like machines, and industrial efficiency is constantly increasing. Then it slipped all the way, more and more freedom, society became more and more decadent, and industrial efficiency continued to decrease.

In Britain at the beginning of the 19th and 20th centuries, Nazi Germany, the Soviet Union under Stalin and Khrushchev, Japan after the Restoration, the United States in the first half of the 20th century, and China in the first 30 years of the founding of the People's Republic of China, large-scale industrial production became more disciplined than the other, and the whole society was in an atmosphere of standardization and discipline.

The impression of free pleasure in the United States was actually after the Vietnam War, after the hippie rampant, and the United States in the first half of the twentieth century was also down-to-earth and hardworking, the people were simple and disciplined, the blue-collar workers were like machines, and the whole society was the most efficient.

In 1975, in China's total industrial and agricultural production, industry accounted for 72%, agriculture accounted for only 28%, industrialization was basically completed, the period of industrial construction was very hard, there were poor industrial and agricultural scissors, reform and opening up is to let the people breathe a sigh of relief, no longer so tight.

With the same socialist system, the Soviet Union completely changed and lay down, and China changed half of it and flew instead.

Japan is a small strong, after the Restoration, climbed all the way to World War II was smashed into ruins, but the industrial experience and industrial echelon are all in, the experience of global hegemony is in, it does not lack a macro vision, it has more than Britain in textile sales in Africa after the first World War, it has global trade experience, the afterglow of the militaristic and soul system The golden generation has pulled Japan up again, until the golden generation is old.

This is true even for the level of moral and social development, which is in the Laffer curve, and when a country is very poor or very developed, the moral standard of the population is generally higher.

When the economy is in rapid development, such as Eastern Europe, Central Asia, Nigeria, China, Brazil, and Russia, the ideological transformation cannot keep up with the economic transformation, and the whole people are in a frenzy of pursuing economic maximization, and there is often an extremely serious social corruption and moral decline. But this kind of national worship of money, in turn, will play a great role in promoting economic development, blessings and misfortunes depend on each other, yin and yang turn each other, which is so interesting.

On the other hand, when the economically developed areas begin to enter a downward spiral, the moral standard will enter a downward spiral, and even become ruins.

The essence of development is an activity, it is dynamic water.

What can really bring the efficiency of the industrial age to the peak is that people are like machines, and all walks of life and social activities are as standard and precise as machines, so that the loss is the smallest, the waste is the smallest, the efficiency is the highest, and the output is the largest. But man is not a machine, and he cannot accept the cruel nature of industrial society.

Different clothes are different in aesthetics, but for industry, aesthetics is superfluous, different clothing fabrics are different, plate making is different, machines are different, efficiency is different, it is a waste, the cost of clothes in a unified mode is the lowest, and the actual effect is the same, keep warm. Cars with different colors and models and different interiors are wasteful.

The beauty of industry comes from competition, from waste, from demand being constantly created, once limited to a closed environment or the unity of human society, the variables of competition and demand creation change, and industrial efficiency is meaningless.

The more we strive for higher industrial efficiency, the more like a machine society becomes.

The higher the industrial efficiency, the more monopolies will be formed, and when monopolies are formed, industrial efficiency will continue to decrease.

Industry itself is a tool, a knife, a service for human beings, a dynamic thing, and it is industry itself that balances in the industrial age.

The pursuit of monopoly capitalism is this virtue, and the chaos in the early days is barbaric and grows extremely fast, which is called the Gilded Age.

The instinct to pursue a monopoly in the medium term allowed it to achieve maximum efficiency while forming a monopoly, and the golden age came.

In the later period, the monopoly will increase, all strata will become more and more solidified, the social efficiency will become lower and lower, the industry will not be able to catch up with the population, the service industry will accelerate the expansion, and the surface will become more and more extravagant and prosperous, and the era of mirage prosperity will come.

At the end of the period, the solidified strata of the solidified society, the suffocating air will lower and lower the morale, decadence is an epidemic, and the era of crisis has come.

After that, it was the post-industrial era of prosperity and crisis.

The crisis resists the past and continues to prosper the crisis cycle, and the crisis cannot resist and immediately enters a downward spiral, and if it cannot be changed, it will continue to fall until the industry is cleared, no matter how unfortunate your original industrial scale is, the social burden cost is still so much. The lower the industrial output value, the heavier the social cost of the burden, and the gravitational acceleration will drop faster and faster, falling into ruins all the way.

The larger the total industrial volume in the world, the faster the cycle of prosperity and crisis in the industrial countries will be, and the root of the crisis is to create demand, but the more demand is created, the faster the cycle will be.

The industrial stage is difficult to mix here, not the higher the efficiency of the industrialized society, the better, but it is easy for ordinary people to mistakenly think that the larger the industrial scale, the better, the British emperor's crown is handed over because of this, the hegemony is also handed over in this way, Germany is so collapsed, Nazi Germany is still so collapsed, Tsarist Russia is so collapsed, the Soviet Union is still so collapsed.

Japan, the United States, France, and the industrial countries of old Europe have one count, that is, the cycle of continuous prosperity crisis and prosperity crisis, as long as it cannot be changed during the crisis period, it will enter a downward spiral, and it will collapse on it, and no industrial country can be an exception.

South Korea is enjoying a period of prosperity, France and Britain are in a period of crisis trying to change the downward stage, Spain, Italy, the former industrial power has declined out of the first echelon, has not changed, and is still weakening. Japan is on the eve of a major crisis in the period of crisis, when Russian industry is almost zero, and free fall in southern Europe is underway.

On the contrary, some social democratic countries in Europe and Northern Europe have very little fluctuations, and the most democratic country in the world is actually Switzerland, which does not even have a head of state or ambassadors abroad, it is all pretending, not even a capital, not even a politician, everyone carries a gun on their backs and goes to the restaurant to eat at will, and they don't know how many guns there are, and they don't know how many guns they have, and they don't register. The people are very simple, they grow vegetables in every family, they are very old-fashioned, and they are not democratic.

Democracy is so democratic that people have no interest in political activities such as elections and voting, even if the matter of building a toilet is referendum, no one pays attention to it, before 911, especially before the end of the Cold War, Switzerland was a place where democrats dare not stay, and there is no room for your activities.

Switzerland is a committee from the village to the country, everyone is a member, everyone can forget that they are a member, no one knows who the top leader of the country is, 100,000 people can change the constitution, democracy to this point, but it has a state-run, state-run system.

It has two kinds of state management, one is the state before the end of the Cold War, and the other is the state after the US hegemony, just like Switzerland itself, in fact, there are two Switzerlands. Switzerland was originally a fusion of three national personalities and values, it is a three-dimensional integration, super democratic, it seems to have many values, but it is not multicultural.

The only real multiculturalism in the world is the United States, Central and South America are also immigrant countries, Australia and New Zealand are all immigrant countries, but they are not diverse, and the only one that is closer to diversity is Canada, the neighbor of the United States.

Just like the middle class only has such a class in the United States, this is at the level of structure, other countries do not have it, the United Kingdom does not have it, other countries are just using a concept to speculate, what is in line with and what is not, that is the appearance.

Even the American middle class is disintegrating, a class constructed in the first half of the twentieth century during the American Golden Age, with an ideological hierarchy and social status equivalent to the iron rice bowls of state-owned enterprises and urban workers before the reform.

It is not a fourth-class Mongol people with a small army and a large country, the Indian caste system, and the honorary Germanic people, it is internally structured. Like the status of scholars in China, it comes from the imperial examination system under the framework of China's great unification, without which there would be no such class of scholars.

It is a class formed by a whole system from self-identity to values to social status, which is in the water, but the state of boiling water, activates the American dream of the lower classes, and makes you bubble up to the surface, there are pros and cons.

It's okay to go up, but if you have a high degree of expectation, you can go up but not down, and when you come down, the problem will appear, and as soon as the values are shaken, the hippie will come out.

The middle class is the need for domination, that is the level of structure, not to see whether you have a house or a car, other countries do not have such a class.
