At the end of the Ming Dynasty, someone foresaw the impending disaster and famine. He told his neighbors and fellow villagers to store food for emergencies. Those people thought he was crazy, insane, and a conspiracy theorist.
Later, disaster and famine really came, and everyone soon ran out of food. Knowing that his family had stored food, they all went to his house to steal the food and buried the entire family alive.
Three revelations from this incident: Don't predict disaster to foolish people, they themselves are the disaster.
When you are surrounded by fools, it is difficult to protect yourself no matter how clear-headed you are. It is safest to pretend to be confused and shout slogans together. There will be no good reward for persuading fools or helping the weak.
