The film's thought-provoking effect, boldly exposing the absurdity of the US financial system, the corporate king's control over the world, and the whole society being kidnapped by interests, are all worthy of praise. However, as a thinker, I would like to follow the analytical logic of this film and talk about my view of the world.
The film starts with the deceptiveness of the financial system and talks about how money, the most indispensable factor in society, penetrates into the ideology, education, life pursuit and daily life of everyone in the society, but the government and the 1% or even less It is also easy for people to use money, the universal tool, to plunder social wealth exponentially at will, change the existing money rules, and control the real wealth of the world and everyone’s labor. Ordinary people work for money, and most of them are not what they love. In this sense, they are slaves of money. But this statement is extreme, people still have time to enjoy the convenience and comfort of modern life. It is pointed out in the film that science and technology are the source of power to improve the living standards of all mankind, and we all understand this. The existence of politics and companies is to bring some individual rights into the collective, and collective rights are managed by a small number of politicians and high-ranking officials, so that when this society develops, people will be calm and not make trouble, and when facing foreign enemies, they will sacrifice their ego. Forward rushing, this is the process of the formation of the state, the dictatorship of a specific class, and from this derives political science, social morality, national spirit, generals and leadership, how to incite or call the power to unite the collective, and ways to pass it on to the next generation. And companies are about money. Humanity's pursuit of interests is finally introduced into the concept of money, which is a general consensus, which itself is an effective way to gather the power of everyone. The owner of the company controls the company, and uses the basic salary and rewards, including management power after promotion, income growth and other benefits, to attract people to contribute their life time obsessively, resulting in the workplace, professional skills, management skills, and more. There is an entrepreneurial myth of getting rich overnight that attracts people. It may be that the above two methods are very inefficient in gathering people's power, but in a disordered society, the greater the value of all energies added together, the more unbearable it is for the environment or container that carries them, and the entire system will eventually Towards an explosion. Therefore, history chooses to let Qin Shihuang unify the six countries, and the Dayuan Empire established by Genghis Khan is a failed case of a larger reunion of forces.
Countries and companies are now indispensable cornerstones of this society. This is the human wisdom and achievements brought by our culture for thousands of years and industrial civilization since modern times. this is the truth. I believe that there is, in theory, a better possibility for this world. All stable and unchanging things will be revolutionized and completely destroyed by new things in the future. But for the future, especially the long-term future, the unknown is his magic. We don't need to expect to know everything, we just do the present thing, plan the future not so far, make good use of this historical process, grasp this The process is the mission of this generation.
Human beings are not born fair, and the state of equality is only one of thousands of possibilities. It is just that we favor it in our ideas, and we will never forget it, thinking that we can hope or realize it. But it doesn't make much sense. This world is controlled by a few people, and there are also great scientists and applicators in this world who have devoted great wisdom and effort to benefit all mankind, but compared with the 1% of people, their returns are negligible. This is calculated in terms of worldly rewards like money, pleasure, power. But we must know that these mundane things are the biggest enemy and burden for innovation, dedication and people who devote themselves to scientific and technological exploration regardless of return. Just let those 1% carry the burden of this world, and let us who are truly wise and virtuous continue to devote themselves to our mission, with as few worldly distractions as possible. Although the 1%, regardless of the life and death of the bottom 40%, still suffers from racial discrimination, state discrimination, development discrimination, civilization discrimination, and lack of humanitarian care, they are profit-seeking, big-bellied, and only know how to enjoy themselves, but their internal competition and the rules of the game It will also be ruthlessly eliminated, just look at those who are not rich for three generations.
Finally, I would like to express my gratitude to a film that has such a strong sense of the times and analyzes the problems of the world. It has a high position, has a strong theoretical foundation, and boldly proposed solutions to problems in the world, which is very powerful.
