Rather than saying that this is a film review of "Surveillance Capitalism: Smart Trap", it is better to say that it is a summary of a periodical topic of my social observation over the past few years. Before getting into the topic, I must say that both this documentary and my film review are only part of this social illness. Therefore, today's focus on this part is about the negative impact of the so-called "social network" created by the combination of Internet technology and capitalism on individual humans and the entire society. 1. Regarding the Internet, the shortest overview in my record of social observations (this book was previously named "Bugs in This World", old fans should remember) is: Science and technology are developing rapidly, and social systems are slowly developing , The situation is oscillating from left to right and spiraling upward, without development, and human nature is not only not developing, but degenerating instead. To identify with this status quo, we must learn and recognize Durkheim's theory that social changes will affect individual behavior. With the change of people's behavior path, it will in turn affect social trends. In this theory, my favorite example is serial murderers. In the early stages of industrial society, suppressed serial murderers all adopted a dormant strategy. They continued to commit crimes over a period of years or even decades. They usually couldn't help it, as if they had become addicted and had to kill. one person. After committing a crime, I am satisfied and relieved, and then it can be a long time—weeks, months, or even years without committing crimes, until the next homicidal addiction recurs. Because of the underdeveloped technology for solving crimes and this relatively hidden modus operandi, they can commit crimes many times without being caught. For example, in a famous domestic case that was only caught in recent years, the last time he committed the crime was in 2002 and his arrest was in 2016. After 2010, there have been few serial murderers. On the contrary, killing multiple people at once, revenge on the street, and perish all together, and even crazy cases of shooting with guns at crowded music festivals, bars, and churches have begun to increase all over the world. The year before last I even watched a live broadcast of the killing process. What made the murderers change their way? The answer is that social changes not only affect the behavior of murderers, but also change the behavior of everyone. There is no doubt that society is changing, and faster. In the Middle Ages, when the development of science and technology was slow, people's lifestyles were almost unchanged. Nowadays, people's lifestyle changes every 3 years and 5 years. Especially in cities, from 2000 to 2020, only 20 years, there have been completely different lifestyles and rhythms. If you were born in 1960 and 60 years old this year, then What you witnessed is a great change, the real vicissitudes of life. But the vicissitudes of life are basically on the Internet, in terms of technology. If you were born in 2020, then you were born in a new world of the Internet. From some perspectives, urban residents born in 1960 and urban residents born in 2020 are basically two kinds of people, and the generation gap may be wider than the Pacific Ocean. So, is there any negative impact on people caused by this social change? Of course there are. As mentioned at the beginning of "Surveillance Capitalism: Intelligence Trap", today's technological development has certain problems. Behind the development of science and technology, there is obviously some moral hidden danger. Whether it is a crisis brewed by natural development or man-made moral hazards, it will inevitably lead to a social crisis and cause huge terrible consequences. However, because we are in a new world, facing the latest problems and hidden dangers, this hidden danger does not even have a name. (This is also one of the reasons why my previous book "Bugs in This World" was not finished. It is too new and involves too many aspects, so it is not easy to summarize it. Although I set out the outline two or three years ago, every time Each chapter corresponds to a link, but in the follow-up writing, I constantly inquire about materials and books in various fields, so as to constantly have new understandings, sometimes broader and deeper than originally envisioned, and sometimes even overturned previous ideas So, this is a problem and hidden danger with no authoritative definition and no name. It is a huge net. It takes a long time to summarize the whole picture, and I am keen to see every corner. The other reason is myself. The reason for personality. Even if you don’t fully understand it, it doesn’t prevent you from writing it out first. I don’t know if anyone else is doing the same work and observation as me, but I know that some of my views are correct and also I often see the same opinions, trends, phenomena, and the results of arguments on the Internet, which are in line with speculations and predictions. But because the topic of society is too big, it is impossible to cover all aspects-this is for me who likes to paint, or for a typical INTP personality I am undoubtedly a torture. I like to act after seeing all the possibilities, or I don’t like action and success at all. I only like observing, seeing all phenomena and thinking about the reasons behind it. But I am not a Buddha, so how can I see every cause and effect of sentient beings, and how can I draw the whole world. I can only have some deeper feelings and insights. Because of my own personality, this is not enough to prompt me to act, everyone You can take a look at INTP-related things, although I don’t really believe in mbti, I’m really A typical intp, maybe I should change a modified grid to pretend to be an intj. However, let’s not talk about it so much today. If it’s too big, it’s easy to be empty. Big and empty, not a good word. We will only talk about this single topic today: Internet technology. ) 2. Through the documentary "Surveillance Capitalism: Smart Trap", we see that the protagonist is actually trying to make reforms and has won the support of many IT colleagues and internal employees. But this reform plan was ordered to stop almost overnight. After all, capitalists have more rights than reformers. This documentary can be regarded as a revelation several years after the reform failed. He first revealed a shocking phenomenon that our lives are affected and controlled by the Internet, and there are actually only a few people who control the Internet. 30 programmers determine the attitude of 2 billion people. This comparison is really surprising. Larger social media platforms influence target netizens through their homepages. To influence netizens, three things must be done first. First, gaining attractiveness. Second, selling certainty. Third, certainty needs big data support. In order to better achieve its goals, companies have begun to monitor and steal user privacy. In the first half of this year, I wrote "Privacy Thieves" on the official account, focusing on the issue of fines for the famous Facebook privacy incident. In China, there have actually been such dramas. Regarding the privacy of users, the Overlord Agreement is used, and they do not agree to not use it. In the face of such an unfair overlord clause, people just used it like that, and there was no resistance at all, and even protests were hardly called. People, that's it, can’t wait to enter the Internet, even if they know it’s harm, they know it’s invading privacy. People like me who never use Douyin and Kuaishou, and who would not use Weibo and Zhihu if it were not for making money, may be fewer and fewer. On the contrary, countless people are entering the Internet and social media unconsciously. Just like oil futures, Internet companies sell human futures. The user is a commodity that is being sold. The company not only monitors what people watch, but also monitors how long you watch it, down to the second. They know you are depressed, they know you are alone, and they know all your secrets. But they are not to help you, but to sell you to make money. Trillions of dollars. You are introverted, your personality, not only what type of movies you like to watch, but also what type of small movies you like to watch. They know what time you saw your ex-boyfriend/girlfriend in the morning, and how long you watched it. What we are talking about is not abstract, but literal. There really is a computer and the software on it monitoring these data. And this data, our private information, is The real, literal meaning, exists in the hard disk of a certain computer room. Unattended, only programs. Many people misunderstand that the company is just selling our data, but in fact they are storing it and then using the data to build models. Whoever builds a better model wins. Based on these data and models, the company knows your personality better than you. Every like you have clicked, every article you have read carefully, will be transformed into flesh and blood, forming a clone of your doll at the other end through a network cable, just like a voodoo stickman. Based on your model, the computer will determine where to put the needle on your body. Even the habit of slowing down at the end of your reading will be a good time to put ads in their eyes. They can predict your behavior through anticipation, accurately, and repeatedly test. According to predictions, they can accurately place the videos you like, what kind of movies can stimulate your emotions, what can hit you, can capture your attention, can guide your thinking, and lead to a certain result. The company has three indicators: one is to extend your usage time, the other is to let you continue to recruit new people to join, and the other is the advertising goal, to make sure that your behavior meets expectations and give you effective advertising, which is the aforementioned, sales certainty. Every goal has an algorithm, which is then driven by a program. The most frightening thing is that they can control these algorithms. If you want to make more money today, you can adjust the advertising algorithm; if you want to attract more Korean users today, you can adjust the algorithm higher. People are commodities, numbers that are regulated. We have created a whole generation of people around the world. Their background, growth environment, social space, and cultural significance are puppets. Everything we participate in has shadows of manipulation and deception behind it. 3. Behavior Persuasion To adapt a person's behavior and mold him into a better product, it is necessary to modify the user's behavior path. The social changes we mentioned earlier affect people's behavior changes, which can be said to be passive. The company's changes to people are proactive. The first method, positive reinforcement is not only rewards, but also random rewards, just like gambling slot machines. Why is gambling addictive? Human social and fictional abilities are the most important part of human evolution. So random rewards like gambling are simply bugs designed for humans. Gambling addiction is a mental illness. When people gamble, a substance called "endorphins" is produced in the brain, which can make people feel happy. Gradually, people become dependent on gambling. This feeling can make people feel happy. Addiction. Generally speaking, when a person becomes more addicted to gambling, the secretion of endorphins will be at a higher level. These patients are like drugs. Sample. Interested friends, you can read the paper on gambling. In fact, surfing the Internet is the same as gambling in many ways. Many times, when we turn on the mobile phone, it is a kind of gambling. Scanning social networks and news is actually looking for rewards. This is why , Those superficial science, simple methodology, toxic chicken soup, boring cool text and other low-quality Internet content, have great dissemination power. On the contrary, the more in-depth, the more costly content is needed, and unless there is a huge push, the more difficult it is to spread. It's simple, because most people don't think this is a reward, but a punishment. After being online for a long time, the matter of surfing the Internet will implant a subconscious behavior and unconscious decision-making at the root of your brain. Form a habit. You didn't even realize what you did, you turned on your phone. In this place, the documentary proposed a term: growth hacktology. That is, they are studying how to hack into your heart, manipulate your behavior, and even develop into a science. Do you feel like a guinea pig? In fact, you are a little guinea pig. They will do a lot of small-scale experiments, and then expand the successful experiment. And their success is to turn users into puppets, money-making machines, using human vulnerabilities and defects to make money. 4. Advances in science and technology. No one would say that the invention of bicycles has had a bad influence on us. Everyone likes bicycles. Bicycles are tools. And social media is not. Not all. It will ask you for something, it will squeeze you, it will make you addicted, there will be a variety of reactions, rather than a quiet tool. Bicycles have no goals, your destination is the destination of the bike. But social media, it has its own goals, and will use your psychology to accomplish its goals. When you are playing it, you are also being played by it. It is not a tool, you are a tool. City life is actually an abstract life, but also an incognito life. People do keep in touch, but they do not appear as an independent and complete personality, but as the incarnation of the function of economic consumption. (Here, Thoreau’s "Walden" must be mentioned: people have become tools of their tools. This sentence was written in 1847, when there was no Internet, only early capitalism and industrialized society, but some People with vision and wisdom have already put forward the view that people are becoming tools for money and material. Now the combination of the Internet and capitalism is undoubtedly intensifying turning people into tools. So philosophers can lead the world for one or two hundred years , Is not an empty rhetoric. Philosophers will predict the future society by observing the existing society. What is even more frightening is that philosophers often make the right point of view and predict tragedies, sometimes as long as they are in the process of development. In China, these predictable tragedies can be regulated by regulating them, but profit-seeking people will never prevent or change. The merits are for the future, and the benefits are in the present. This is also It is the origin of Voltaire's famous quote in the article I wrote some time ago. I recommend everyone to read the works of Thoreau and others, and you will gain a lot. ) Only two industries call guests "users", drugs and social media. The executives themselves couldn't help but brush the software they made. They built a machine that treated themselves as prey, and later had to write a program to quit the addiction. Therefore, even if you know these principles, once it is contaminated with the Internet, even the maker himself cannot control it. Human instinct controls behavior, and many Internet apps aim at human instinct. Social media is actually drugs. It satisfies our biological system and directly affects our dopamine. In principle, it is the same as drugs in many places. The defects that we have evolved over millions of years have been designed and utilized by social media. It's just that the pleasure and excitement are not as high as gambling, but the principles are interoperable-if you often go to pornographic websites, the excitement and pleasure are also high, and it is difficult to quit. The most terrifying thing is that it is destroying our original normal life, the ability and habits of the original life. Take off your mobile phone and you find that you can no longer live (if you are a city person born around 2010, then you don’t even know what life should be like before the Internet!) In the documentary, a locked one is used Box, lock the phone countdown. As a gamble, see if adolescent children can not use mobile phones for a week. In the end, the child couldn't stand the temptation and smashed the box, retaliating for the whole night. So the Internet is not just a way of life, it changes the habits and values of children. We need to evolve to the point where 10,000 people pay attention to us, do they see us? See our every move? We need to get social recognition every few minutes. Do we need to be put into an unfamiliar network environment of hundreds of millions of people and accept its complications? (Regarding the complication of the environment, it is related to another topic I wrote, postmodern life attitude. "Bugs in this world", "postmodern life attitude" and "progressive methods" correspond to my outlook on the world, outlook on life, values, and career. These are the three books I am writing now, which are my summary of social observation and self-growth. But these are not the works I want to express, they are just records and summaries.) Our values are transformed into short-term recognition no matter It's superficial and cheap, but because of emptiness, social media takes advantage of it. When there is emptiness, there is just a mobile phone on hand to fill it, so there is no room, and the Internet makes people more and more empty and superficial. Of course, although most people are originally empty and superficial, this is not for social media An excuse for washing the floor. American research shows that a whole generation born after 1996 is more prone to depression and more vulnerable. The ability of the new generation of people to deal with emotions is undoubtedly deteriorating. Everything is a technological revolution. Since 1960, the capabilities of computers have increased hundreds of millions of times. Nothing can grow at a rate comparable to this. Everything else is insignificant compared to it. The human brain? There is no evolution at all, it would be nice if it didn't degenerate. Human biological mechanisms, this set of systems, are basically impossible to change. (Except for the future biological and genetic engineering transformation) So, if the human brain is used as a computer hardware, plus a set of algorithms, now the mobile phone and the company behind the mobile phone's algorithm, human brain computer, face to face, who will win? Who is operating whom? As I said at the beginning, science and technology are developing rapidly, the social system is slowly developing, the situation is oscillating from left to right and spiraling upward, without development, and human nature is not only not developing, but degenerating. Do you think artificial intelligence destroys the world by controlling nuclear bombs and creating robots like Terminator or Ultron? Physically exterminate mankind? Need the Avengers to defeat? Artificial intelligence is actually already manipulating the world. There is no need to physically exterminate humanity. A big company like Google has some super-large rooms in which computers that you can't see at a glance are connected to each other, and then they are computing. Basically, the online world is manipulated by these supercomputers that you don't know where. The proportion of the online world in the real world is already unimaginable. Algorithms are actually views embedded in the code, which are targeted rather than objective. Algorithms are not for humans, but for companies. The company sometimes does not even make money, but also ignores the bad social impact. If you want to enter the next boom industry, it is machine learning. Give the computer a goal and it will automatically learn how to accomplish it. Ruthless, regardless of the cost, and swift. It is a "intelligence" that will automatically change, even if it was originally written by humans. Many company managers themselves cannot predict the actions of computers. They only know that computers are helping them achieve their profit goals. Computers hold human information and data, but they are not mastered by humans, but run autonomously. In order to attract users, computers and media will send all kinds of news or messages with no lower limit. For example, if a murder is on fire, ten similar crimes of the same type will be exposed immediately. They just keep on catching your attention. Politics, gossip, panic, entertainment, pornography, games, excitement, video, you are like a puppet, you take all your time and let it manipulate. It doesn't Worry about the impact of these things on you, on your body, behavior, habits, and thoughts. The ideology instilled in you, the three views of interpersonal. (I really want to put a screenshot here. Some time ago on the Princess, someone commented on the vicious case after the Hangzhou case. I told him about the media factors, and he suddenly realized that he was manipulated by the media and the conversation between the two of us. But I didn’t bother to go. Look for screenshots) It is to manipulate you, test you, lure you with information flow rewards, and then make money, it's that simple. There is not even a person behind it to actively target you, but all are targeted programs. This is the most terrible. Society has become extreme, radicalized, polarized, angry, eager for quick success, empty and confused. . . The reason for all this is simply because technology has approached human wisdom and is about to surpass. It is not known when technology will take over mankind in an all-round way, but technology has already taken control of human weaknesses and bugs. This is certain. Many people are still unaware of the seriousness of the problem, and there is no clear boundary. Just like I gave an example before, a smoker always says that it is difficult to quit smoking, but once you tell him that he has lung cancer, nine out of ten will quit smoking immediately. It seems that quitting smoking has become less difficult in an instant. Many times people are like this and don't realize the seriousness of the matter. They like to quarrel on the minutiae, like to maintain views that seem to make sense, and like to emphasize the side of progress and development. Progress and development are certainly gratifying, but those dark sides should not be ignored. The change of society to people is huge and cannot be ignored. You can't wash the ground in one or two sentences. Washing the floor is because they didn't care about these problems, and they didn't have the ability to care about them, and they didn't have the knowledge to understand them. After all, this is a new and happening problem, and there is no way to define it in a complete picture. Its contradictions are also in the development movement-all vague things that are not clearly defined give people room for fuss. Many times we can only explain one part or one aspect of a thing at a time. Talking about the convenience brought about by the development of science and technology will ignore the negative aspects brought about by the development of science and technology. But remember, no matter how many positives there are, the negatives cannot be erased. Similarly, the front cannot be erased. The development of things is in motion, and we need to look at problems dialectically. Social media is hurting human nature, from multiple angles and levels. Just like the in-depth report on the takeaway rider a few days ago, it was just a corner. But this corner covers 7 million riders. Why I strongly recommend that report and Ma Ni’s follow-up program, because they are really rare media reports that reveal what’s happening in society. road. Google will push the content they like to watch based on the opinions of most people in different cities. For example: If you are in certain cities, Google will jump out on climate change, and the climate change crisis is a hoax. Then you change your computer to another city, and if you search for climate change, the first result becomes: the climate change crisis is destroying the natural environment. The results you get, the information you retrieve, depend on the opinions of most people in your city, what most people want to see, and not the truth. They will show you what you want to see. Now engage in market sinking. What is the market sinking? Very simple, two sentences are clear: Low-quality, low-income, and low-educated people are generally more and better to cheat, and arouse their joys, anger, sorrow, and joy—it's easier to manipulate them. Therefore, the content has to sink, to be superficial, and to satisfy this category of people. Give them what they want to see. As for the high-level content, the high-level demand, and the series of people behind this, you guys love it, go back home and play in the mud-because the company was founded by a capitalist, so basically the Internet is a capitalist. Instead of caring about the good, deep, right, and beneficial, you only care about the profitable ones than the bad ones. Does the market sink need an example? No need anymore, right? The funniest and most ironic part is that a large part of the low-quality and low-cognition people don't care that the market does not sink. Instead, they approve of market sinking and advocate market changes. They are keen on entertainment, love all superficial illusory and exciting content, and find all moral and political reasons for their rationality. They don’t care about the world’s crises, the long-term worries of social cancer, such as drinking poison to quench their thirst, and so on. They only care, and they are not happy today. Does what you say makes me cool? Have you made me happy? They are the ideal users and target users of the algorithm when the market is sinking. In turn, all entertainment social media are also their favorites. Deep-level good content, with its inherent sense of distance, learning costs, public opinion slander, human nature's characteristics of easy leisure, good joys and bad worries, driven by the combined forces of these factors, these good content are gradually being buried , Disappeared in the network. There are many kinds of people, so people with high levels in various fields are not necessarily people who meet ethical standards. And high-level content is not something they care about, what they can reach, and what they can understand from the beginning, so they never care about it. No matter how these things protect and nourish them, and how they maintain civilization, they don't care. There is no doubt that the online world will ultimately belong to a large number of mobs. I have always felt that [when ignorance is the mainstream, soberness is crime] is not good enough. The words dang and just should be omitted. Jun 9. The market is sinking, the content is declining, the platform is turning into water, malicious advertisements, precise placement, entertainment to death, and mobs. Do you need examples of these happening phenomena? No need. These phenomena did not fully erupt, but they were shocking enough. Many people don't realize it because they can't realize it unless the knife rests on the neck. There are still some people who don't realize it because they have been deceived by the algorithm and did not pay attention to many shocking things. There is no opportunity to observe and reflect in depth. If these phenomena are not paid attention to or recognized, there is no need to communicate with me. It is equivalent to pretending to not see the elephant in the room. First of all, people who do not recognize the problem either pretend to be stupid, or are cowardly and choose not to face it by deceiving themselves, which is the so-called stupid or bad, so there is no need for communication. Not to mention independent thinking, it is rare that one out of a thousand people has the ability to think independently. Few people out of a hundred people even have the opportunity and potential for such independent thinking. What is more terrifying than Trumen's world is that there are countless people who live willingly in Trumen's world. And their world is not separated from us by a big shed. So be careful, they will always collide and rub. It's not a big deal to spray online, so it's not bad not to use a knife to kill people. I remember that I wrote "Public Opinion" and "Social Animals" in detail before, and I also recommended these two books. When there are too many facts, people lose the ability to think objectively and are just tools driven by news and information. We live in a world that has never existed before, a new stage in history, and for the first time the shortcomings of human nature have been exploited on such a large scale. For the first time, human society is so divided and extreme. An unprecedented new era. Everyone who tries to observe and reflect on the Internet will encounter a problem at the beginning. How can a person be so stupid? Shocked, unbelievable, really willing to believe, many people choose not to believe. But the fact is that people have weaknesses, and this is the case after the natural mechanism is used. It was not so stupid at first, but became stupid after being domesticated by the Internet and mobile phones. There are still many people who feel that many people on the Internet make judgments because they lack a lot of information. How can they ignore so much information? The fact is, they really didn't see the information. The Internet is too big for people to see the whole picture. At the same time it is too bad, it is simply to deliberately arouse people's extremes. Finally, people originally like to express opinions and comments on things they don’t know. Since Trump in the United States, political news has become a global hotspot (free theaters worldwide), and the degree of division of personal politics in the United States has reached the highest level in history. And social media is one of the main culprits. Social media can make Americans believe that the earth is flat and that vaccines are poisonous. Many people think that such a stupid idea is contrary to common sense, but some people believe it? In fact, algorithms are getting smarter, so much so that you can hardly imagine the real numbers. Many people feel that if these people believe it, they believe it, and it has nothing to do with them. In fact, this is just failing to understand the connection between the minutiae and the big problems behind it. Social media all over the world are updating algorithms, and they are so successful that even if you don’t use the Internet, you will not get rid of its influence. It is a new-age drug, and its users have reached the vast majority of people. Sooner or later, you will be persuaded to believe in something completely false and wrong, and you still don't know that you are wrong. Is this relevant to you enough? Human behavior is the same. It is difficult to go uphill and slide down. Social media is a way of deliberately putting downhill in front of you to tempt you, deliberately making it difficult for things that are uphill, learning costs, and beneficial to you. In the end you can only choose the downhill road. Not because you are hopelessly stupid, but because you have been manipulated by targeted use. You think that Internet companies are just doing some regular advertising to make money, which is harmless, and you are too naive. False medical information, false advertising, creating anxiety, etc. are not mentioned. The gray industry, gambling, gambling, pornography, fraud, crime, etc. are countless. It’s hard to imagine that every time you go online, interact with social media, and inadvertently like, in fact, some people go to extremes and some people are defrauded. There is actually a connection between the two? Yes, they are connected. The power and complexity of the Internet is beyond imagination. It can only be said to be plausible, very plausible. Trump said that drinking sterilized water can cure new coronary pneumonia, and more than a dozen New Yorkers who drank sterilized water were hospitalized and died. The tricky news in the United States in the past six months, the ugly comic drama, has exceeded the ability to bear, even beyond imagination. To what extent? Many jokes on the Internet are tired, can't keep up, can't catch up. Social media will radicalize people and make them believe in conspiracies. Some Americans still think that the new crown is a conspiracy. No matter how fast the new crown virus is, it cannot spread faster than the Internet. Why does Trump want to govern the country by Twitter? Is it because it is easy to use and convenient to manipulate Americans, or is it because Trump is very fashionable? In the Middle East, some oligarchs used Facebook to cause massacres and wars, causing millions of people to be displaced. You are right, it is to use social media to influence people. Compared with this, do you think that the slaughter plate suddenly changed to pediatrics? To give another sensitive example, do you remember how the United States used social media to tease small fishing villages into making trouble last year? What's the matter? How long has the trouble been? If still If you don't believe it, you really have nothing to say. 5. In the future, a new theory is very popular now. People believe that in the future, everyone is just a single unit of experience. The computer will become a super brain to allocate human resources and share experiences with each other. The first time I saw this theory was in 2018. In today's world, there is still the truth. The Internet has no truth, only opinions, which is extremely stupid, but in the end, some people have access to the truth. However, in that new era, the truth no longer exists, no one can touch the truth, no one can touch things outside of their own life experience, everyone is brainwashed according to specific goals, and then becomes an information collector, collecting The information is then uploaded back to the main brain. You are not important, the mastermind is important. At that time, life is a well-designed program. Nowadays, it’s hard for people with mobile phones to imagine that I will play a mobile phone, and I will be responsible for the end of the world? Many people who see the convenience of social development feel that technology is not guilty. Why must technology be aimed at the weaknesses of the population? Technology is indeed innocent, but today's technology, capital and politics, and all the elements interact with each other, and eventually do cause some phenomena. Behind these phenomena is the darkest side of society. And it is growing. As mentioned at the beginning, this crisis does not even have a name. It is new and happening. But it does exist. If it is allowed to develop, it will eventually lead to tragedy, just as the development of capitalism triggered a world war. And, most importantly, there is no good way to solve it. Loneliness, disagreement, indifference, alienation, superficiality, extreme, these social problems are difficult to heal by themselves. If you don't know that you are in the matrix of Matrix, how do you wake up from the matrix? The current technological development is good in many aspects. I am very grateful for the convenient technology, which is not only easy to use, but also provides me with a learning channel and a platform for entertaining and making friends. If it weren't for the Internet, if there was no social media, I would not have made progress so quickly, and I would have met many fewer friends. But the current business model, goals, habits, and markets are wrong. I don't think that technology is bad, everything is pessimistic-I do believe that the future will not be good, I like cyberpunk very much. But for now, I don't think technological progress is evil, and commercial capital is damned. I just think the market needs to be controlled. Speaking of the takeaway rider article earlier, Ma Ni posed a question that a character's article did not raise: Is it true that the interests of a billionaire in a capital company really outweigh the interests of the people? Our environment and society are deteriorating, is it to give capital Home to accumulate wealth? Unrestrained desire, unrestrained self-identification, unrestrained kitsch, and unrestrained moral decline will eventually lead to disasters. It only depends on who is unlucky. This is what is accelerating in the Internet age. In fact, human society has always been like this, but the Internet has accelerated it a hundred times. If some things do not change, society will continue to deteriorate, the Internet will continue to sink, politics will become more extreme, there will be more and more vicious incidents, there will be more and more strange news, and the natural environment will become worse and worse. Will human beings wake up? Get better in an instant? People online should realize that they are not customers but tools. Their time and attention are precious wealth. Social media is using your attention as a resource to exploit and sell. Your attention should be used to make yourself better, more progress, happier, true happiness, and focus on the things you really love.
