The competitive logic behind

Tim should be in an asset management company. He is very smart, and he should be considered proficient in business technology. But he doesn't understand the mystery of the seventh floor, that is, the mystery of the management, so he has not been able to rise up. He has an artist girlfriend and he has not succeeded in marrying seven times. This is also very telling, and he hasn't grasped the knack. In order to get married, he bought a luxury car and a stylish apartment with loans, so he had to get a promotion and a salary increase to get a bonus.

The stupid party organized by the boss of the company is very detrimental, but the purpose is correct. In addition to his own people, the VIPs must be big customers. Those weird people are invited to perform. The more exciting the performance, the more people are divided. There are two types, one is the freak, and the other is the so-called self. It is easy for big customers to put the company boss and themselves into one type, so that it is easy to gain the trust of the first step.

It's the same with Tim's girlfriend. She is engaged in exhibitions and thinks she is closer to the field of artists. She probably thinks that Tim loves her, similar to collecting art, but I have money. I know that Van Gogh has become hot recently, so I hang a pair of Van Gogh at home. She was afraid that Tim would marry her, and it would be to show off in the future. The more Tim borrows to buy a luxury car, the more she feels this feeling of being collected.

In the end, Tim can get together with his girlfriend and cannot do without the weird person Barry. Barry’s behavior is somewhere between a normal person and an artist. He is lonely at first, and his brain circuits are also weird, but he uses dead mice to make works of art. At the beginning, he is just lonely and admiring himself. The simulation is that he is together with the ideal lover of the imagination. Scene. Finally, for Tim, he redesigned these rat idols and turned them into an art form acceptable to both freaks and successful people. The show at the party was very successful. Therefore, after experiencing all this, Tim's girlfriend may feel that Tim may not be inspired by interests in his life. Barry can produce art and get recognition, and Tim may also truly identify with himself. You see, at this point, Barry's role is still a reference to a large extent. The boundary between freaks and normal people is enough to look at him. Moreover, he is a living standard and will be automatically upgraded. At different stages of life, encountering different things, going to see Barry's performance, will get different enlightenment.

People are so hypocritical. It's clear that everyone is the same as Barry. Why do they look different? It's just that everyone is hypocritical than Barry, and can alienate and beautify themselves better than him. But this kind of self-deception always exists. As long as we have Barry as a friend, we can project our true self onto Barry, and then use Barry as a mirror to dress ourselves in the opposite way, so that we can go out contentedly. NS.

The so-called friends and social circles may really be the spiritual symbiosis of people. There must be someone in a dominant position, and the others are his clones, a stain of humanity, but because he himself can get resources and materials. , Get high-quality information, so others are willing to rely on him.

In this sense, the so-called class jump means changing the symbiosis circle. You are far away from the low-level ugliness and ushered in the high-level ugliness. In the circle of your higher class, others see it from you. A little more advanced and ugly.
