Ⅰ
The «zombie culture» mentioned here is not the kind of zombies that everyone sees, but more and more people, living like zombies.
Then the first question is, what is a qualified zombie-like?
Only accept basic stimuli. For example, zombies only like to eat their brains, and more and more people only focus on playing games and watching movies.
The life of a zombie has no high-level goals, only basic needs. It is exciting for a while, and it has always been exciting. In the new era, drug use is not acceptable to society. Fortunately, there is something about electronic opium. , Have you powered up today?
The most critical point is that the life of zombies will not be better, and they have no intention of getting better, and they don’t even think about it.
It looks like this:
If we look back, the zombie culture did not originate in Asia at the earliest. It was first in Europe, then the United States, and then entered Japan. It has landed in my country in recent years. It is now on a small scale. No accident, it will eat hundreds of millions. The human brain then becomes the mainstream subculture.
Seeing this development path, everyone has also felt that this thing is obviously related to «social maturity»?
Yes, the more stable the society, the more prosperous the zombie culture.
Can we also assert that as long as the society is stable, the funeral culture of «not seeking progress» and «comfortable with the status quo» is the mainstream?
Is it possible to further assert that for most of history, everyone is very sad? It is only in a few big bumpy times that everyone will be energized abnormally.
Obviously, this assertion is correct, just as we seem to be disgusted with class consolidation, but whether looking back at history or comparing the situation of most developed countries horizontally, it is obvious that class consolidation will gradually appear after society is stabilized. After the social class is solidified, the vast majority of people are naturally at ease, and they don’t think about things that are out of reach.
It’s just like when I was young I wanted to be a pilot, a scientist, and a general. The more I get mixed up, the more helpless I am to accept reality. This goal is too outrageous. I still want to achieve something. For most people, the goal is adjusted again and again, slowly. Just adjust it to go after a day without a goal. Some of these people, on this basis, go further and become a zombie. Not only do they count as a day, but they also get worse, how cool they can come.
So the question is, why does this happen?
In fact, the whole world (people in developed areas) is dull, year after year, but the kind of life that changes drastically, either in a war-torn country, or a country rebuilt after decades of war.
Speaking of this, everyone also understands that this year after year (flat and boring) model is the real mainstream, that is to say, the core culture of cross-civilization is not seeking to make progress, and there will always be a minority of people who strive for the top and strive for life. People belong to the non-mainstream. Since it is the mainstream behaviour not to strive for progress, it is natural to have a supporting culture, which is what we call the zombie culture. It is just that some people are infected more and some people are less infected.
Speaking of this, everyone should have noticed that the bloggers didn’t want to criticize this attitude towards life in the article, we just analyzed the cause, and by the way, see if people who are unwilling to be infected with this culture have a solution after being poisoned…
Ⅱ
First of all, we have to explain the first question, why most people slowly stop working hard.
Let’s make a mental game. Everyone hates being spoiled when watching movies. Spoilers make people uninterested. For most movies, knowing the ending doesn’t seem interesting. The same goes for living. The most annoying thing is undoubtedly knowing what’s next. Development, isn’t that boring to live?
The biggest problem in a mature society is being able to see the head at a glance.
Think of life as a movie or a game, and you know where the ending of the plot is when you first play it. There is a sense of inexplicable boring, and modern society is different from before. In the past, everyone only knew what was around them. Now it’s better. Society is becoming more and more transparent. It tells you what your life path will be like and what life is like for someone who is not on the same track as you and tells you how difficult it is to cross the track.
The difficulties here are often «hard problems». For example, many positions require a bachelor’s degree, and many positions require a 985 graduation. This is not the hardest. The most difficult thing is that many industries that really make money have hard thresholds, such as «related jobs.» «Experience», or «funds have accumulated to a certain scale». What’s more, some people joked that some industries still like visiting an informal massage shop. You need acquaintances to refer you before you can participate in the game, which directly brings a lot of people. Excluded from the game, you have no chance to participate.
Ⅲ
Everyone needs to pay attention to that the developed countries that you see on TV are often Western-style middle-class families, and few people pay attention to what the non-middle class is like.
Developed countries also have lower strata, and the lower strata are much more miserable. In the past, in the Cold War, to fight the Soviet Union, the West needed to win over their middle class. After the death of the Soviet Union, there was no such demand anymore and large-scale transfer of industries overseas. Therefore, the overall size of middle-class families in the West is shrinking. With fewer middle-class families, the more wealthy people come out? Of course not, it’s the poor and the lower class. In professional terms, it’s called «the fall of the middle class.»
Especially in the United States and Japan, their lower level is called Tiantian Refusal, because almost all the channels are blocked. If you want to be awesome, you have to mutate like Spider-Man, or mutate into a genius with a high IQ, or mutate. If you are two meters tall, you will play basketball in the future, or if you are strong with the Bison, you will play rugby in the future, and you will go to college by sports. The last trick is to become a star. In the United States, Americans usually talk about their dreams of becoming a basketball star or movie star. Well, this trend has also appeared in China, an ancient country in the East.
The prestigious private universities in Europe and the United States basically give half of their places directly to the children of people who have previously attended a prestigious university. This is not a strange thing. The advantage of Europe and the United States is that everything is brought to the table. They don’t think about it. This is abnormal, because the school never said that admission should be based on grades, but adopted a complex comprehensive ruling.
Moreover, public goods in the United States are linked to taxation. In other words, whether the public security of your community is good or the school is good will be reflected in the housing prices, high housing prices, and high property taxes. Only good teachers can be hired by the school. It will be good, and the children’s enrollment rate can be high.
Speaking of this, everyone understands, shit, if I can’t afford a good house, am I being pitted?
It can’t be said that it is 100% pitted, but there is a high probability that you will not run. In case your gene mutates, like Spider-Man, you don’t need a good school.
Americans all like Spider-Man, especially the current little spider, because he has not only genetically mutated but also met Iron Man father and took him a hand. This also reflects our simple understanding of the class transition.
And everyone can also feel through watching TV series that we are very divided as a whole. The upper class is the top in the world, and the rest is a group of pseudosciences. I forgot where I saw it. There are 100 million people in the United States who don’t believe in the theory of evolution. Most people are full of contempt for knowledge, and their brains are washed out by commercial advertisements. Every day they like some primitive things, big breasts, big butts and big golden retrievers, and they are full of contempt for knowledge. For example, in «The Big Bang Theory», the Princeton Four-eyed Dog The doctor married a semi-illiterate. Everyone thinks that the doctor has made a profit. Look at how anti-intellectual you are.
If you don’t get admitted to college, you can be a truck driver and you can go to the factory, but you will be subject to fierce competition between the police and the police. I won’t go into details. If you look at «American Factory», you can feel the grassroots working class in the United States. Living conditions.
Although many people abroad admire the United States, I also like the United States, but I like it with my mind.
The blogger used such a large space to write about the United States, of course, not to despise and criticize the decadent and degenerate way of life of the bourgeoisie, but to say that this stuff is likely to become mainstream soon.

Some words are very emotional to say, just like talking about money, and I don’t want to talk nonsense. I wrote an article before, and it was heartbroken and naked, but every sentence was very solid, and it quickly became an explosion. The paragraph was then deleted.
Everyone knows about Captain America, some people like it, some people hate it, like an old cadre, full of words. In fact, he represents the Americans of the era of «World War II». He was responsible, responsible, admired love, and not afraid of sacrifice. He has the glory of collectivism and is full of liberal ideals. He always wants to do something and demand. Progress, hope to serve the people. «Women’s Federation 4,» said that he had gone back to his time and lived a happy life with a lady.
Like Iron Man his father, he is a person who belongs to the rising period of national fortune, and he has struggled for a lifetime.
Next are Iron Man, baby boomers, playboys, hooligans, and hippies. If they were not dragged to the mountains of Afghanistan to accept the transformation of terrorists and the re-education of the poor and low-middle peasants in Afghanistan, it would be the same for the rest of their lives. Alluding to the United States After reaching the peak of national power, I quickly lost my ideals. I didn’t want to fight. I thought about making love (not war) all day long. Of course, the United States is a traditional Protestant country after all. Basically getting rid of all the bad habits except the poor mouth.
Iron Man completed the transformation in the mountains of Afghanistan and became the naughty version of Captain America. The generation he represented did not change. It was also in that generation that the zombie culture slowly began to rise.
After the end of the Cold War, a new generation of young people grew up carefree, lost their sense of hunger, and did not have the pressure to survive. There was no need to worry about nuclear bombs falling from the sky, and no need to worry about starving to death, and for many people, the ascent was being Blocked, this life is almost the same if you struggle or not, isn’t it just slowly leaning on that «zombie passage»?
The mainstream American culture at the beginning was farming. During the long colonial period of the founding of the United States, the main life of the United States was farming. After planting the land, they went home and prayed. They lived superstitious and miserable life. Industry, the road of the industry is also a road of misery. In those years, the United States was like a roller coaster, which was inverted between depression and prosperity.
The genes for the rise of the United States were formed during those two hundred years, accumulation, risk, and self-accountability.
Looking at the present, the upper level has evolved extremely complicated gameplay, and the middle level is also family-centred, educating children, but we don’t care about our old people.
The bottom layer is now starving and is beginning to export all kinds of garbage culture. It is not that they deliberately want to export it, but that these things are fluid.
For example, the daily drunkenness of life and death is described as enjoying the moment, non-saving or even over-consumption is described as free and easy, and sex life is described as freeing oneself…
Of course, again, if you think these things are right, and if you practice these things yourself, you think it’s not bad. The bloggers don’t oppose it and don’t make moral criticism. Everyone has his own choice and bears the result anyway. It’s yourself, at best, you can pull your parents together, and have nothing to do with others.
Ⅴ
At this point in the article, everyone should have seen that the zombie crowd and the anxious crowd are exactly two extremes. I drew a normal distribution. You can take a look:
The more mature the country, the higher the proportion of zombies, and the export of such garbage thoughts. Of course, the main thing is that there is money. Some people think that rich countries do everything right. The trash cans in developed countries are very attractive, and the things in the trash cans also have their value.
The insensible masses in the middle are potential users who can slide to both sides at any time. If you are more motivated and full of responsibility, you will easily get anxious, otherwise, it is easy to fall into the pit on the left.
It can also be seen from this that anxiety is actually not a bad thing, which means that deep down in your heart, you have not given up treatment and are looking for a way out.
Ⅵ
In the last part of the article, I’m going to talk about how to treat some people if they get this kind of disease. If you don’t have this problem, you don’t need to read it down.
Some friends are still having fun with the zombie virus. We don’t bother him with this kind of person. But some friends are like zombies and are full of guilt. They can’t be happy and down-to-earth to be a zombie. They want to change but don’t know how to solve it. This is what the blogger himself has experienced, so what should we do??
In fact, most of those who get sick are related to lazy cancer. The laziness in the new era is not only about not wanting to work every day, but also the kind of being afraid of this and that. Today is afraid of the big environment collapse, tomorrow is afraid of uncertainty, and lives. Too comfortable, no sense of crisis.
A few years ago, I also slack off. Later, the company began to lay off large-scale employees, and it is said that it will lay off every year in the future. I worked hard and became a small leader, but they said that they were deciding on small leaders, so I couldn’t sit still anymore. What would I do if I was decimated every day? I’m not happy every day, but After a long time, I still didn’t cut myself off, so I felt that it was the same.
I now have more and more experience. Most people can’t do it because of individual differences. The macro-environment will affect everyone, but it only hurts the virtual force. Most people who can’t do it often have never tried their best to fight. Bundle.
I mentioned it once on Twitter. I have a distant relative who came to New York a few years ago. He used to be a truck driver at home. He felt that he had no future, so he came to a big city to work as a car mechanic. He worked from 8 o’clock to 11:30 in the evening. (I make more money at night), almost all year round, I quickly bought a Ford and opened several branches in West Side, New York.
Today I saw him recruiting workers on LinkedIn. I asked a few words. He said that he has three Fords and seven or eight people under his hand. They are so busy every day, I won’t say much about income. , The top project manager of a major Internet company.
So, every time I see some professional bad-mouthing bloggers on Weibo, I will be annoyed to death. Look at the losers in the comment area, waiting for the collapse every day. This kind of person is really hopeless, waiting for the crisis to come. Rich? In fact, a bit of common sense knows that every time a crisis comes, it is basically the kind of fragile cash flow that is eliminated, and all new strongmen rise. The real giants will become bigger and bigger. It has nothing to do with lazy cancer. Cancer is just a group of onlookers, people watching the excitement on the side.
Everyone must pay attention to the power of language. As soon as you speak, you are the first to hear. No matter what you say, you are the first to be persuaded. Pay attention to your expressions and often say something very sad. If it is, it will gradually become lost, and you will slowly understand if it is like this.
Everyone must have a common sense that when a crisis comes, it is not who is hurt by the scale of wealth, but who is vulnerable to hurt.
Having said this, what do you want to say? If you feel more and more depressed if you want to save yourself, move quickly, give yourself a sense of crisis, take risks that you can bear, and do it quickly. The macro has nothing to do with you. Let yourself slide to the anxious end. Can’t be a zombie.
Moreover, most people who have done something accidentally touched it at first and then started to do it. Unexpectedly, they did it slowly. Instead, they planned and invested a lot of money to start doing things, often because of the early stage. The investment was too large, and the blood was drained without waiting for profit.
The best thing is to try low-cost trial and error and do more and early.
In short, don’t be afraid. Do whatever you want to do, move, and do something. This is the best way to fight zombie cancer. It’s okay to be anxious. After a few years, everyone will find that it’s really good now. Time is just the time to start planting a tree, preferably thirty years ago, followed by now.
