The emergence of sexual decline and low desire is not coincidental, but rather an inevitable result following the disintegration of traditional social structures.
A social form operating on the bonds of blood ties, family, and clans has essentially exited the historical stage. The previous generation could still find meaning through "passing on the family line" and "family continuation," but this generation has discovered that it ends with one generation, with no prospects.
The future is uncertain, and social mobility is difficult, efforts are hard to convert into stable returns. Under such expectations, the motivation to pursue intimate relationships is naturally weakened.
Not wanting to get married, not wanting to have children, even not wanting to fall in love, is not about "seeing through the mundane world," but rather self-protection under rational expectations.
When relationships no longer provide a sense of security, when efforts do not see continuity, desire will automatically shrink.
Therefore, this is not a moral issue, it is not about young people "declining," but rather a time quietly losing the reason to continue investing emotionally.
Prompt: Please generate a widescreen image. The scene should use a cel-shaded animation rendering style, with vibrant and bright colors. An adventurer stands at the edge of a grass-covered cliff, facing away from the camera, overlooking the vast and lush forest below. In the distance are hazy mountains and ancient ruin towers, with a soft volumetric light and atmospheric fog in the air. The overall atmosphere is tranquil and grand, embodying the visual aesthetics of an open-world adventure game, with a Ghibli-style green tone.
For ordinary people to survive decently, there are a few things that must be possessed: 1. A long-term stable job with ample rest; 2. Savings ➕ assets with sustainable return rates; 3. Weight loss and a healthy diet to avoid illness; 4. English speaking skills ➕ accumulating travel records.
On December 15, 2025, the National Bureau of Statistics of China announced the sales data of commodity residential properties in 70 large and medium-sized cities.
In first-tier cities, the selling prices of second-hand residential properties dropped by 5.8% year-on-year, with the decline expanding by 1.4 percentage points compared to last month. Among them, Beijing, Shanghai, Guangzhou, and Shenzhen dropped by 6.8%, 4.6%, 7.2%, and 4.8%, respectively. In second- and third-tier cities, the selling prices of second-hand residential properties fell by 5.6% and 5.8% year-on-year, with declines expanding by 0.4 and 0.1 percentage points, respectively.
In first-tier cities, the selling prices of second-hand residential properties fell by 1.1% month-on-month, with the decline expanding by 0.2 percentage points compared to last month. Among first-tier cities, Beijing saw the largest month-on-month decline in second-hand housing prices, down 1.3%; followed by Guangzhou, down 1.2%; and Shanghai and Shenzhen down 0.8% and 1.0%, respectively. In second-tier cities, the selling prices of second-hand residential properties fell by 0.6% month-on-month, the same decline as last month. In third-tier cities, the selling prices of second-hand residential properties fell by 0.6% month-on-month, with the decline narrowing by 0.1 percentage points.
If you have a house worth 6000000 in Beijing, in just one month, your housing price has dropped by nearly 70000! In one year, the value of the house has decreased by 410000!
How many families can save 70000 every month? How many can save 410000 every year?
My suggestion is: buy for self-use, sell investment properties quickly!
No.13 What truly destroys children is not poverty, but the emotions of their parents. Emotionally unstable parents are not nurturing; they are giving childhood high-interest loans. They are burdening their children with a debt that may never be repaid in their lifetime.
1. Coercive Lending When a parent loses emotional control and shouts hysterically at a child, they are essentially engaging in a form of coercive lending. Parents borrow the child's sense of safety and energy to calm their own moment of breakdown. The parents feel relieved, but the child is forced to bear the emotional debt. This is not love; it is blatant financial exploitation as the child has no right to refuse to sign.
2. Deadly Compounding Interest This debt is referred to as high-interest loans because its interest is calculated on a compound basis. During childhood, the child is forced to learn to read emotions, please others, and suppress their true self to repay their parents' emotional debts. These survival strategies evolve into extreme inferiority, sensitivity, and an inability to form intimate relationships in adulthood. This is compounding interest; it takes the first half of life to heal childhood wounds and the second half to repay the character deficits accrued in childhood.
3. Emotional Bankruptcy Liquidation When the debt accumulates to a certain extent, the child will experience emotional bankruptcy. This manifests in two ways: either complete numbness, becoming a hollow person, or a complete rebound, becoming a new high-interest lender to harm the next generation. This is the most terrifying aspect of intergenerational poverty—not the poverty of money, but the poverty of emotional capital.
4. Stop Lending If you are a parent, please take a look at your family balance sheet. Are you depositing love and support into your child's emotional account, or are you crazily overdrawn on control and venting? Stop packaging your incompetence as 'I'm doing this for your own good.' Those who cannot control their own emotions do not deserve to have the next generation. Be a qualified investor, not a parasitic lender.

Don't heavily invest in a single project You only see 1% of people Heavily investing in a project to get rich Behind it, there are still 99% of people heavily losing money In anything, you must leave some room
Airdrops are like this Buying coins is also like this Going all in on Bitcoin only has one scenario On the day of an epic crash It must drop to the point where many people directly exit the market Clearly, it is not yet the buying point As for when it is worth buying I will also publish an article I knew when I entered the industry not to go all in Because the cost of trial and error is very high We need to constantly correct mistakes Choose the optimal solution during the trial and error process When participating in airdrops, you should also split your funds into many parts Just like buying coins Salt and sugar look the same, it's hard to tell apart without tasting People are the same way, many things Let time speak, as long as it's right If wrong, it's just an experience So constant failure is also a way of growth
The food chain in the AI circle is like this: the first batch of crap just pulled out on X, this is Day 1; domestic self-media chewed it up and spat it out for you, this is Day 2-3; by the time the big shots in paid groups and knowledge groups package it as 'exclusive dry goods' to sell, it's already spoiled food from half a month ago.
Bitcoin's computing power has thus dropped to 836.75 EH/s within two days, down 30% from the previous day's 1200 EH/s.
Previously, Reuters reported that China's computing power has returned to above 50%, with Xinjiang accounting for a significant portion, and the rest likely in Inner Mongolia, Qinghai, and other areas.
Earlier, a friend of mine had a photovoltaic station in Qinghai that was shut down because it could no longer enjoy national subsidies, and some that were built had not yet been connected to the national grid, hence the shutdown.
It is reported that about 10%-15% of the photovoltaic stations in Qinghai are in a state of shutdown.
So they contracted the shut-down photovoltaic stations and stabilized solar energy by installing energy storage cabinets. The cost of one kilowatt-hour is originally 0.05 yuan, but after building energy storage cabinets, the cost has risen to above 0.30 yuan, yet it is still much cheaper than nearly 1 yuan in Europe and the United States.
This is the true predicament of Chinese miners, who, under the temptation of being able to break even in about six months, take risks. Fortunately, those who are caught only have their mining machines confiscated and do not face other legal risks unless they are stealing electricity.
Only 15 days left until the end of 2025. Looking back at this year's predictions from these guys for Bitcoin by the end of the year.

Yesterday, someone continued to run ahead of schedule, and the whole world is waiting for the non-farm payroll data on Tuesday night.
- Gold has risen a bit, avoiding risks. - Crude oil has dropped to $56. - Bitcoin has fallen to 85,000.
Recently, the volatility of Bitcoin has been too large; this trend is worse than altcoins.
We are waiting for the U.S. non-farm employment data to be released at 21:30 Beijing time; everyone expects the non-farm data to be a bit weak, but as long as it doesn't collapse, that's good news.
