A leisurely life that begins with the possession of a game character

Being smart is not a good thing. Most of the time, being stupid from time to time may make life a little better.

Wen Ran also realized later that there were some things she shouldn't have said. It's not that her uncle didn't understand, or maybe her uncle was just watching what happened.

Because it's no big deal, whether you suffer a loss or gain an advantage. In this day and age, divorce, having children out of wedlock, etc. are not a problem.

On the contrary, Wen Ran's cousin's love-brain is the real problem. It can't be easily changed unless she falls hard.

Another point is that other people in Wen Ran's family may also be happy to see Wen Ran's cousin's behavior. In a stable social environment, the channels for upward mobility are limited.

In a family, everyone has limited resources. If someone makes a mistake, whether it is passive or voluntary, and she gives up her resources, then others will definitely be happy to see it happen.

Wen Ran thought of Qin Yongjun. Was she really happy to live and work in Shangshi at the beginning? Actually, it was not necessarily the case.

When Qin Yongjun was young, he lived with his grandparents. How could he not understand what the family was like better than anyone else?
Looking at Qin Yongjun's series of actions after returning to Kyoto, Wen Ran now thinks that some things may not be what he sees.

But she didn't say anything. Every failure makes you wiser. Since she said something wrong, it means she is not smart enough.

Since you are not smart, you are a stupid person. As a stupid person, you should be aware of being a stupid person. That is, you can only see the surface of the problem and only think about the present when considering the problem.

Sometimes it is not a bad thing to label yourself, because within this label, you can do your own thing with peace of mind.

Stupid people can only see the present and the immediate future, and cannot make long-term life plans through abstraction and logic. So they will only make the most favorable decisions for themselves at the moment. For example, if you drop out of school and work, you can get a salary immediately, and if you get married at a young age and have nothing, you can have a stable family life. Then what? Stupid people can't think so much.

Stupid people cannot see the deep logic of interpersonal communication, but only the surface phenomena. So they can only use labeling to explain these phenomena. For example, men should earn money to support the family, women should do housework and have children, and friends should not talk about money, etc.

Stupid people can only see the problem itself when they encounter problems in study and work. Even if you teach them step by step, they only know how to deal with the specific problem, but never think about why. They are helpless when they encounter similar new problems.

Whether a person is smart or stupid is partly innate, but also largely influenced by the environment.

For example, a person makes a long-term life plan, planning what kind of person he will become in ten or twenty years. However, if he has no money to pay tuition, no money to eat, and his family urges him to get married and have children, he can only start to solve these practical problems first.

For example, I found it unreasonable to label things, but if I don’t do so, I will be fighting against the ideology of society. The cost of being a maverick is not only mental pressure, but may even be physical pressure. So I can only agree with these labels.

For example, if you are required to do repetitive tasks for a long time in study and work, divergent thinking will be suppressed. Over time, you will give up the ability to think divergently and become more and more stupid.

One of the most important needs of human beings is the consistency between their thoughts and actions. When there is a conflict between their own thoughts and actions, they will be very painful.

For example, if you think that standing on an assembly line and repeating the same action every day is a waste of life, then working on an assembly line will be extremely painful and you will go crazy after a long time. If you are powerless to change the reality and have to work on an assembly line to make a living, you can only change your mindset. You can no longer think that repeating the same action on an assembly line every day is a meaningless waste of life, but you should think of yourself as a glorious screw of a great goal and believe that what you do is valuable. Only in this way can you survive.

No one can live in a state of self-denial for a long time. When people are unable to change reality, they can only achieve consistency between behavior and thought by changing their own thoughts.

Over time, you will get used to it. This is how people become more and more stupid, and only becoming more stupid is in their own interests.

So when you live in an environment where everyone is labeled and everyone has to be short-sighted, it is very costly to keep yourself smart.

Under the pressure of reality, some smart people will choose to make themselves stupider to adapt to the environment, while some smart people would rather self-destruct than accept the inconsistency between their thoughts and actions.

There are also some smart people who will eventually realize that these ignorance and inefficiency are actually in the interests of the majority of people, and they gradually learn how to get along with stupid people without becoming stupid themselves.

These differences are largely related to people's circumstances, or luck.

Our world is as absurd as it is magical. People who are naturally smart will definitely show talents that are different from others when they are young, and they know this and are confident about their future. But when they enter society, they will definitely be shocked by the ignorance and inefficiency of this world.

At first they will think that these ignorance and inefficiency are wrong, they will try to change and fight, and then they will step into countless pits and get hurt.

Most people think being smart is a good thing. But it is not. Only in a few historical periods of rapid social change do smart people have the opportunity to live like fish in water.

In a closed and stagnant social environment, being smart means being unable to adapt to society. There is a madman in every village, and that person is likely to be the smartest person in your village.

If you feel your life is okay, you should be glad that you are not smart enough.

If you think you are not smart enough and are satisfied with a life of small but certain happiness, then you must be cautious when dealing with smart people, because smart people look at problems too abstractly and their logical chain is too far-reaching.

The smarter people are, the more they value future hopes and the less they value the present. Therefore, the smarter people are, the more they tend to gamble everything they have now on the future.

The reason is that the real life of small happiness requires stupidity to enjoy, and it is difficult for smart people to make themselves stupid. So as long as there is a chance, they will try their best to change the environment so that they can live in their ideal environment, otherwise it means a lifetime of pain.

Smart people see this very clearly, so even if there is only a small chance, they will choose to gamble for change. If you are fooled by a smart person into gambling with him, you will be finished together if you lose the bet. Even if you win the bet, you may not get what you want.

So whether you are smart or working with smart people, it is not a good thing. (End of this chapter)
