95% of poor people must go through the first hurdle to become rich. Today's video reveals a brutally harsh truth; all parents from ordinary families must watch it three times. Did you know? Billionaires don't have TVs in their homes. I met a billionaire in Shanghai who bought a luxury home, and the designer presented him with over 60 design options. The billionaire seriously asked the designer, "Can a luxury home still be called a luxury home if it has a TV?" Quickly replace everything; don't install a single TV. The designer didn't understand why there was no TV; everyone else has one. A friend of the billionaire said something very poignant. Those TVs, KTVs, and bars are meant to make ordinary people addicted to entertainment, to fatten them up before slaughtering them for profit, continuously earning their money. This billionaire friend said the biggest difference between poor and rich people is that the poor indulge in fleeting entertainment, while the rich spend their time improving their cognition and perspective. Some people might think this is fictional, but the real world is ten times harsher. You have no idea what efforts the world's top billionaires have made to keep us perpetually poor?
In 1995, a gathering of over 500 economists and political elites was held in San Francisco, USA, aimed at analyzing and planning for a globalized world. At the meeting, participants unanimously believed that the height of globalization and rapid, fierce competition would exacerbate the wealth gap and class differentiation, with the 80/20 rule coming into play. 20% of the world's population would ride the fast train of globalization, while 80% would be affected and marginalized. The conflict between the 80% poor and the 20% rich would become a major issue in the future. For world peace, then U.S. National Security Advisor Zbigniew Brzezinski proposed the nipple theory, suggesting that the 80% marginalized could be given a 'nipple' to comfortably accept their abandoned fate, thus avoiding conflict with the 20% elites. The 80% would be content, while the 20% elites could rest easy. This process requires a gentle, anesthetic, low-cost, and semi-satisfying approach to address the dissatisfaction of marginalized populations. He believed there were two forms of entertainment that could realize this idea: one is cathartic entertainment, such as opening the pornography industry and encouraging endless online gaming spats. The other is satisfying entertainment, like numerous soap operas, idol dramas, and reality shows that would allow the struggling masses to unwittingly lose themselves in entertainment, thereby not only continuing to earn their money but, more importantly, reducing their hatred towards the rich and thus minimizing conflicts with the wealthy. This is the famous nipple theory, clearly outlined in the book 'The Globalization Trap.' For ordinary people to achieve class ascension or for their next generation to stand out, the first step is to break through the nipple theory trap designed, whether intentionally or unintentionally, by the global rich.
The founder of a short video platform frequently mentions delayed gratification in his Weibo posts, sharing his insights on success. With the low level of delayed gratification among most people, there’s simply no competition in terms of talent. When you indulge in immediate pleasures, you are indulging in animalistic joy, forgetting the happiness that humanity should possess. How to avoid falling into the trap designed by the global rich is something that most young people from ordinary families need to think about and overcome.
