Have you noticed a phenomenon: Nowadays, men are becoming less and less lazy to spend time pursuing women.
For men, they are more willing to spend their time making money, and then find another way to find women when they have money.
For women, they would rather have their own careers and become independent than pin their happiness on men.
Indeed, in this era, men are not short of sex and women are not short of money. Everyone no longer takes love and marriage so seriously.
The biggest cost in the future is the emotional cost, and we no longer give away our emotions easily.
When we were children, we could often see all kinds of pure love and beautiful love stories in various magazines, covering every corner of campus, workplace, and family.
But now, we rarely see the praise of romantic love on the Internet. Instead, there are entrepreneurial stories of successful success.
This seems to be a very simple phenomenon, but in fact, it hides the ultimate problem of mankind.
If you see through this problem, you will see through the future of mankind.
1. Efficiency-oriented modern people
Let’s first take a look at the difference between “ancient people” and “modern people”.
The progress of productivity in ancient society was very slow. Thousands of years ago, people used hoes to cultivate the land. Thousands of years later, people still used hoes to cultivate the land. At most, they changed from stone to bronzeware, and from bronze to ironware. In this situation, people have a lot of time to pursue emotions and spirituality, so ancient people often wrote poems, songs, music, chess, calligraphy and painting. Women look good to please themselves, and scholars die to be close friends. Men are passionate and passionate, and women are charming in all kinds of ways. How romantic, romantic and beautiful.
Nowadays, the productivity of society is advancing very fast. In just a few years, mobile phones have been updated several generations. Social changes are changing with each passing day, so people have to constantly adapt to these changes. Every change is a shock. Some people climb up and some fall down. This invisibly urges us to keep improving and constantly changing ourselves, so "efficiency" has become the core of social operation.
Today we live in a society where efficiency is paramount. Everyone is improving their efficiency, especially men. Almost all of them shoulder the important task of changing the world. How can we have so much energy, time, and patience to understand a person or pursue a woman.
Therefore, "modern people" and "ancient people" are completely different species. "Modern people" don't care about anything except trying to make money.
2. Money is becoming the standard of everything
In the future society, people will only become more and more realistic. The purpose of interacting with others is to exchange interests and will no longer involve other things. How tiring is it to talk about relationships? Discussing benefits is more straightforward.
The essence of marriage has also become an exchange of interests. Everyone gets what they need. You put forward your conditions and needs, and I put forward mine. If they match, they will come, if they don’t, they will go. Quickly find the next partner.
So the price of future love may be clearly marked. If you don’t believe it, go to various blind date websites and see what is underneath the rows of beautiful and handsome men. Isn’t it the salary? How much is the height? How much is the car price? How many houses? How much is the deposit? All of these are quantified data.
What was originally the supreme love turned into a bunch of measurable indicators in the end. What we are looking for is no longer a confidante, but someone who can make your life better and maximize benefits.
"Money" has become the measure of all things. Everything is clearly priced and everything is a transaction.
For men, instead of spending a lot of time and energy chasing a girl, it is better to use this time and energy on career development. As long as the career is successful, everything will come.If there is no money, even if a momentary romance is created, how long can it last?
And women have also seen through a reality:
Many boys tell girls: I really like you. Although I have no money now, I will definitely work hard to make money. When I get rich in the future, I will definitely compensate you double.
But the reality is often that such boys either have no ability to do big things at all, or when they get rich in the future, they will abandon the bad wives around them.
Therefore, women have become more and more independent. They no longer pin their happiness on men, but more often just play along.
3. We will become more and more lonely
This world is both a contradiction and a balance:
The richer the material, the more people's IQ will deteriorate;
The more advanced the technology, the emptier the human spirit will be;
The richer the nutrition, the more people's physiological functions will decline.
The more economically developed a society is, the stronger people's independence will be. In the future, everyone will be an independent economy .
Especially after this epidemic, people will maintain the habit of wearing masks and keep a certain distance when meeting others.
This will further expand the distance between people. We are already very lonely in this era, but we will be even more lonely in the future.
In the future, everyone will be an isolated island, drifting helplessly on the sea. While seeking private space, he is afraid of being intruded by others, and at the same time, he longs to be understood, recognized, and connected with others.
The more lonely a person is, the more he likes to be busy. In fact, this is a kind of escape. Many people are busy on the surface, but in fact they are like a pool of stagnant water in their hearts.
4. People become machines, and machines become people.
Human beings are moving towards mechanization along an irreversible path...
We are becoming more and more rational, numb, mechanized, and indifferent to everything, just like machines with predetermined programs.
Our language and emotions are tending to be formatted, and our genes are being deciphered piece by piece. New human life can be designed in advance on demand. Humanity is moving toward machineization along an irreversible path. 2
Look at those children living in first-tier cities. Everyone rushes around to various occasions all day long. Various business negotiations are dazzling. Various social gatherings are like a show. They look at the smiling faces, but in fact they are as cold as a machine inside.
At the same time, machines are indeed working hard to achieve "emotionalization". Now many artificial intelligence are trying to use big data to interpret human emotions. They are trying to possess human emotions and spirituality, trying to communicate with humans, and even replacing humans.
This is really a huge irony. The development of science and technology has made human beings "de-emotional". At the same time, the development of science and technology requires machines to strive to achieve "emotionalization". So which one represents the direction of civilization?
We will one day discover that people will turn into machines sooner or later, and machines are turning into people.
And when machines become spiritual, and when humans are completely materialized, robots will begin to rule humans and exercise the power of God.
As a result, human spirituality will eventually disappear in the civilization created by itself.
This is the ultimate crisis for mankind.
Freud said: " All human problems are sexual problems. ".
All crises are fundamentally crises of human nature.
The most painful thing is: you know you are in it, but you still have to move with society.
Life is a huge shackles, you have to repeat those boring lives.
