The most basic law of nature is "natural selection, survival of the fittest".
To put it bluntly, it's screening and elimination. Screen out those who are suitable for development, and eliminate those who are not suitable for development. Throughout human history, this has been the case.
There is an elimination mechanism in society, which is inevitable, because there are always people who can keep up with the times, and there are always people who can't keep up with the times. Survival of the fittest, after all, is cruel.
The elimination mechanism of society is screening and eliminating these six types of people, so we should pay attention.
Category 1:
People who lack academic qualifications.
There is a very contradictory question: at this stage, academic qualifications are depreciating sharply, and countless college students cannot find jobs after graduation, so is it necessary to roll up their academic qualifications?
There is only one answer, it is necessary. No matter how much the degree of education is depreciated, even if it is completely worthless, the average person (especially young people) should have a basic university degree.
It's like eating, you can skip it, but if you don't eat, you'll go hungry. Although it is said that this is a chicken rib, most people now have academic qualifications, and if we don't have it, the situation will only be more embarrassing.
With the development of the times, academic qualifications will only depreciate even more. At the same time, ordinary people without any academic qualifications may not even be able to find a normal job. The times and the market have higher requirements for ordinary people.
Category II:
People who are backward in their thinking.
What kind of concept is the most correct? There is only one criterion, whether it is in line with the development of the times. If the concept is in line with the times, that is correct. On the contrary, it is backward.
In an agrarian society, if you behave with the concept of an agrarian society, then you are advancing with the times. In today's information society, if you still hold the concept of an agricultural society, then you are behind the times.
Falling behind the times, there is only one result, that is, being crushed by the wheels of the times, and then being ruthlessly eliminated. There are too many people at the bottom in this world, and the situation of doomed elimination will become more and more miserable.
If you want to survive in this year, you can't be a person with the same old concept. Times have changed, and the old way of living is probably no longer working.
Category III:
Become a dry battery person.
There is a word that has broken the defense of countless workers, dry battery. In the big cities of iron, the workers who run water, they are like dry batteries, which are discarded when they are used up.
This is not uncommon in today's workplace. When you were in your twenties, you went to work for a company. Struggle until you are in your thirties, and the company thinks you are old, so they will fire you.
At the age of 35, it is a hurdle in today's workplace. The vast majority of workers, around the age of 35, will face the risk of being laid off by the company. There is no way, there are too many young college students, and the old employees of private companies are destined to be optimized.
People, if they live like dry batteries, no matter how hard they work and work hard, they will be eliminated. Scarcity is expensive, and more is not worth much.
Category 4:
Crazy people on leverage.
At all times, everyone needs to "pay" for their choices. Whatever path you choose, you will usher in what the result is, whether it is good or bad, you need to bear it yourself.
Take the matter of "leverage" as an example, many people think that they can also make a fortune through leverage.
As a result, many young and middle-aged people have put their hopes for the second half of their lives on leverage. Unfortunately, the bubble is bursting, and the pressure on the lever is increasing, which has caused many middle class to "perish".
People who go bankrupt because of leverage are paying for their wrong choices. If you don't increase your leverage, then I want to congratulate you, the probability of you being eliminated will be greatly reduced.
Category 5:
People who have no self-knowledge.
The so-called "people are valuable and self-aware." "A person's greatest ability is not how ambitious he is, nor how much ability he has, but how much he is self-aware.
Only by knowing who you are, knowing what to do, and choosing the path that suits you, can you live this life well. Otherwise, it is easy to hit the nail.
In the past, it may have been a matter of losing some money. If you hit a nail now, you may lose both people and money, and your future will be ruined. The error tolerance rate of ordinary people's lives seems to be getting lower and lower.
If self-knowledge is important, why do some people always lack self-knowledge? It may be that I watched too many short videos and thought that I was the protagonist, which led to cognitive errors.
Category 6:
People who are easily fooled.
If you were an elite, what kind of leeks would you choose to harvest? Harvest leeks that don't have any opinions. The more assertive people are, the easier it is to be fooled, and the easier it is to be harvested.
Assertiveness seems to be something that everyone has, but in fact countless people lack it. Especially the confused ordinary people, basically they will only follow the clouds, they will believe what others say, and they have lost their rationality.
As Wang Xing, the CEO of Meituan, put it: "Most people are willing to do anything to avoid real thinking." ”
Countless people hate thinking, think that thinking is tiring, and think that thinking is troublesome. But if you don't know how to think, you will make yourself even more stupid.
Listening well and being obedient always doesn't need to think. But in the face of the cruel reality, after all, you need to think. And good obedience is fake, only the cruel reality is what we need to deal with.
