recently has a very popular Korean drama called " squid game ".
The plot is relatively simple:
There are 456 people from the bottom of society who are very short of money, who are lured to participate in group games.
Every time you win a game, you can enter the next level and accumulate bonuses at the same time. To lose is to give your life.
By the end of the round, out of all the 456 participants, only one can take away the prize money alive, 45.5 billion won, or about 246 million yuan. Survival probability: two in thousand. This probability is still quite high.
The game designer also left insidious holes:
If more than half of the people agree to stop the game, the survivors can quit all at any time.
can survive, but there is no money to get it.
In the play, halfway through the game level, after voting, the survivors all left.
But in the end, the vast majority of people chose to come back and continue to fight for money in the game.
The metaphor of the story appeared.
Metaphor 1:
Poverty is more terrible than death.
I am not afraid of being poor, let alone being afraid of death.
Metaphor 2:
Human nature cannot stand the test of money.
Metaphor 3:
If a mediocre poor person suddenly becomes a wicked bad person, the most likely reason is:
He has someone who wants to guard urgently.
What is good for one person will turn into evil for a group of people.
This Korean drama has attracted the attention of so many young people around the world. The biggest metaphor is not the first three, but the following one.
Metaphor 4:
Labor as a factor of production, in Pareto's optimal economic principles:
Each additional unit of labor will play a weaker role in the increase of overall utility. what.
That's why there is a 35-year-old crisis for middle-aged people. The midlife crisis is not so much a social phenomenon as it is, in the final analysis, an economic problem.
If the value of the element of labor is getting lower and lower, the only element that many people can take out is the last one:
his own life.
This is the ultimate of 's inner volume .
