Have you ever thought that your life script might have been written? It's not a fortune teller, it's a cold social logic. Recently, there has been a strong theory that cruelly points out that societies are quietly dividing human beings into two “species” — the “live species” and the “short species”. It sounds like science fiction, but it's even worse than reality。
What's short-lived? Think about the 45-day-out chicken in the chicken farm. Their life expectancy is condensed and lives under an invisible “kill line”. When the environment is fraught with danger and uncertainty, long-term planning becomes a luxury joke。
Grandpa died of alcohol at 50 and his father overdosed at 50... In this intergenerational cycle, where is the free choice of timely pleasure, the rapid stimulation of dopamine? That is the survival instinct that grows in the soil of despair — because there is no future to look forward to。
Evolutionary psychology calls it a “quick strategy” and, in times of uncertainty, organisms choose to be prematured, productive and less committed to the probability of genetic survival. Putting it on the human being is the pursuit of immediate satisfaction and becoming a short-term opportunist。
What about the albino? They're well-bred chickens. The top level of medical resources, the family trust moats and time horizons that ordinary people cannot imagine。
They have a bitter, monastic elite that invests in industries that come back after decades in pursuit of the lasting achievement of endorphins rather than the instant pleasure of dopamine. All their restraint and delay are met, and the core goal is one: to live longer and to rule longer. This corresponds to a “slow strategy”, in a secure and stable environment, where individuals can be impotent and heavy rather than heavy。
The darkest logic is often hidden in the corner where the sun cannot shine. Longbreeding systems are not satisfied with their own longevity and are systematically and structured to produce shortbreeds。
How? Locking your most creative youth through a price-for-the-carrying loan, breaking through your fragile savings barriers easily through high medical costs, filling your brain with well-articulated “happy education” and endless cheap entertainment, depriving you of the ability to think deeply and delay fulfilment。
What's the purpose? The mass production of “good, good, good, fast-tempered” “white chicken” labour. After you have consumed your youth and health, you are quickly phased out without diverting long-term resources from old age and welfare. This design, efficient and cold。
Does that sound like conspiracy theory? But it explains perfectly many of the ripples of the present society. When individuals struggle in an environment of economic inequality, delaying fertility and investing heavily in themselves in return for competitiveness, it may be a desperate life strategy. When this logic rises to the level of civilization, the contrast is even more striking。
The short-lived civilization sought immediate satisfaction, overstretched the future, and the policy was kidnapped by a short electoral cycle, looking beyond four years. The longbreeding culture, which believes in the planting of trees by the ancients and the cold by the latter, has a strategic force spanning a hundred years. Take a look at tujiang, it's been over 2,000 years, fukuzawa, and look at the tri-northic protected forest for half a century. At the heart of that thinking is that individual life is limited, but that “our” civilization is infinite。
As individuals, we must first guard ourselves against the trap of falling silently into the “short-born species”. To refuse to be domesticated by consumerism and debris information. Exercise, maintain savings, invest in skills that add value over time. In this age of eagerness to quickly realize everything, being able to live long, far away is itself a victory, a silent resistance。
Remember, competition itself requires wisdom and talent, but also integrity and personality. Healthy competition is self-empowerment and a dare to fight, but it is by no means a “hot horse” for each other. Individual competition must be conditioned on the promotion of community collaboration, otherwise it is a corrosive agent of society。
The competition for civilization has never been a 100-metre race, but a marathon without an end. Those who seek only “short, flat and fast” will end up in time. This silent war on life and vision and on “fast strategy” and “low strategy” is in our choice every day. Time, all answers will be announced。
