Musk, not sleeping in the early morning, directly splashed a basin of cold water on people around the world.
Musk stated in the early morning that war is inevitable within five to ten years. He mentioned that the high global debt and sluggish productivity growth are potential risks, and he also worries that low birth rates may threaten the survival of civilization, but he did not explicitly list these two points as direct causes of war; regarding artificial intelligence, he is more wary of the civilizational risks brought about by its militarization rather than viewing it as a catalyst for war.
Musk and other prominent figures tend to focus on the global landscape and deep-seated hidden dangers, which indeed differs from the concerns of ordinary people.
Ordinary people, although busy with work and life, are not powerless to influence; paying attention to and spreading reasonable understanding is also a way to participate, and there's no need to fall into helpless despair. This is precisely the difference in perspectives between different groups when viewing the world.
Musk's early warning indeed hits the deep-seated hidden dangers globally, but there is no need to be overly anxious.
It is normal for big figures to focus on global risks while ordinary people care about daily livelihood; the difference in focus is quite normal.
Although we may find it difficult to influence the larger framework, understanding the truth and rationally spreading it is a small yet real power.
Instead of falling into despair, it is better to focus on the present; this pragmatic attitude is the confidence that ordinary people have in facing the unknown.
Let’s take good care of the following days and not be anxious.
