Today I propose three very important axioms; everyone is welcome to critique them:
1. Your position is your cognition.
2. Cognition is only divided into right and wrong, not high or low; everyone’s choice is the embodiment of their cognition.
3. Cognition and position may not match at the moment, but they will eventually balance.
This is somewhat like the cosmic sociology of logic; it’s very abstract and lacks data, but over the years I’ve summarized this principle, and everyone is welcome to discuss and debate.
Here’s a supplement: the cognition mentioned in the first point does not refer to your understanding of the world but rather your understanding of cryptocurrency; I won’t elaborate further, and you can interpret it yourself.
Here I want to discuss the second point specifically because it serves as the hub connecting the preceding and the following.
Many people often say there is high and low cognition; in the past, the orange person also thought so and considered themselves to have relatively high cognition.
But this is actually the exploitation and bullying of so-called high-cognition groups over so-called low-cognition groups, making it easier to plunder from those low-cognition groups with a high-cognition stance.
All things in the world are dynamically developing; they are not static, and cognition is the same.
This is the first point; another key point is that this statement overlooks the subjective initiative of individuals:
In fact, the choices everyone can make are the optimal solutions based on their current cognition.
So don't ridicule someone who opens a hundred times leverage contract as a gambler because in their cognitive world, this is the fastest way they can think of to turn their situation around. They don’t not know that holding coins can be profitable; they just find it slow.
Can you say that someone selling sweet potatoes doesn’t know how to make money in finance? It’s just that they currently lack the strength and energy to do so; if they had the same capital as you, they might not play worse than you.
Here I want to extend a statement: cognition has no high or low, but the world is divided into large and small.
It’s not that their cognition is low; the understanding of a spoiled rich kid may not be higher than that of a well-educated person, but most educated individuals do not live as well as the spoiled rich kids.
So many issues are fundamentally not about cognition but rather about resources.
You can also understand that resources and cognition are positively correlated.
Your world is big enough that there are people to strategize for you, people to help you solve problems, people to take care of your food, clothing, and housing, and people to help you ascend smoothly.
But for more people, the world is very small, so small that everything has to be done personally, so small that they are exhausted yet can barely make ends meet, so small that they have to endure illness to save money, so small that they can only think every day about how to earn an extra 100 yuan.
Their cognition may not necessarily be lower than anyone else's; they are just trapped in a small world.
Again, I want to emphasize: cognition is only divided into right and wrong, not high or low.
At this time, you can look at the third point I mentioned:
3. Cognition and position may not match at the moment, but they will eventually balance.
The orange person was also trapped in a small county in the past, where there hadn't been much change for over a decade.
Although I haven't reached financial freedom yet, at least I am free from worries about food and clothing. To put it bluntly, the current life is something I wouldn't have dared to imagine in the past.
After experiencing so many things, I believe my current cognition and
