some bullshit for young people

Original link: https://tumutanzi.com/archives/17021

I have seen some news recently.

  1. It is said that among the group of Meituan delivery workers, the rate of undergraduate diplomas exceeds 30%.
  2. However, Meituan Waimai in Guangzhou has suspended recruitment. It may be that the total number of times people ordered food delivery did not increase but decreased, and the existing delivery staff was saturated…
  3. The number of masters and doctorates in Beijing this year is greater than the number of undergraduates graduating.

With the development of society, knowledge is getting cheaper and cheaper. Following the currency depreciation, academic qualifications have also begun to depreciate. Coupled with the economic downturn, there are relatively few opportunities, so involution is relatively serious. It’s always painful when a bubble bursts.

Since the beginning of this year, the overall lending rate of banks has been falling, which actually means that the industry’s profit margin has declined. In fact, this is a trend around the world. Over the past decade or two, interest rates in major Asian countries have been higher than those in Europe and the United States. This is also because the business in these places is relatively easy to do.

There is good news, too. In the past six months, artificial intelligence AI has also seen a full-scale explosion (at least such a trend in European and American countries). The field of technology and the Internet has not had such enthusiasm and excitement for a long time.

However, the author of “A Brief History of the Future” mentioned as early as 2016 that with the blessing of artificial intelligence, most of the future human beings will become useless people with no economic or military value.

This prediction may sound scary to us today, but it does herald the great potential of artificial intelligence—for better or worse.

I am not personally an artificial intelligence expert, but through my personal experience with artificial intelligence, I have a hunch that artificial intelligence will greatly change human productivity.

The future has come, young people who are facing difficulties, what kind of attitude should they adopt to meet the trend of the times?

In the education industry, as a practitioner of education, I often have a doubt in front of artificial intelligence. Is our current education like this: on the eve or at the beginning of the invention of computers, schools are still desperately teaching mental arithmetic and abacus…

So, what should young people in the future do? The sooner those who think about such issues are likely to stand on the cusp of the trend of the times.

I personally remember the financial crisis caused by the subprime mortgage crisis in the United States in 2008. Its appearance is somewhat similar to that of the present—but the cause is somewhat different. If you catch a huge opportunity and hold it well, you will never lose your life. No great worries.

Now we are facing a similar crisis. Even though I am a pessimist—pessimism is often correct, I still believe that the word crisis means that where there is danger, there is opportunity.

Remember Munger’s life wisdom:

In the long life, you can make a lot of money as long as you cultivate your wisdom and seize such a good opportunity once or twice.

If you are still chasing me, I can only say: Since the result may be painful, then look up and face the trend of the world, keep curiosity and learning energy, choose a path that you like, study all the way, and enjoy all the way , even if the result is not perfect, at least enjoy the joy of the process.

Since ancient times in life, who doesn’t end up with ashes to ashes and dust to dust?

Can you be more specific? After I taught “Engineering Economics”, my students surrounded me and asked me the wealth code: Teacher, which stocks and funds should I buy? I have to answer: I don’t play domestic stocks, so I really don’t know. In fact, even if you know it, you won’t say it. How can there be such a simple thing?

I agree with a point of view that there are probably two sets of rules in this world:

The first set is straightforward, and revolves around morality and political correctness. You just talk but don’t do it. Basically, all kinds of views you can see in the public media are based on this level of logic. Listen more and watch more , the brain is stupid.

The second set is hidden in the dark and revolves around various interests. Often you just do it without talking about it, but if you don’t know it, you will suffer. This set of logic is occasionally scolded by people like Machiavelli who say it. , In some places, this logic is more complicated. If no one (parents) teaches, you can only pay tuition by yourself.

Of course, this is something that cannot be taught in class. Just treat me as gibberish.
