Society is like a complex machine; consumption cycles, debt cycles, hierarchical flows, etc., are like individual components within it.

Interlocking and nested, we, the vast crowd, are part of these components. Therefore, you must fully understand its structure to know where it will take you.

Formula: The essence of society = hierarchy + exchange + probability

1, Education
Surface Truth: Teaching, imparting knowledge, solving doubts.
Deep Truth: Indoctrination, domestication, and the production of standardized screws.

2, Society
Surface Truth: Society is a complex ecosystem that not only consists of various institutions and rules but is also influenced by interpersonal relationships, cultural backgrounds, and factors affecting fairness, justice, and transparency.

Deep Truth: A jungle of the survival of the fittest, a playground for the competition of power, resources, and cognition, where the strong bully the weak. Hard work and mere ability will always leave one at the bottom; often, only kind and moral individuals are served their 'boxed lunch' early.

3, Relationships
Surface Truth: It lies in sincerity, trust, respect, and understanding.
Deep Truth: It lies in interests, value exchange, and mutual exploitation.

4, Making Money
Surface Truth: Creating value, meeting needs, and distributing resources fairly. To earn more money, one must learn to perceive market demand, create unique value, and plan their resources wisely.

Deep Truth: The lower class earns money by selling time and physical labor, unable to become wealthy; the middle and lower classes earn by purchasing others' time and labor, extracting surplus value— the more they exploit, the richer they become; the middle and upper classes make money from money, earning capital multiplication. The upper class profits from social influence.

5, Media
Surface Truth: Presenting facts, conveying information, and shaping values.
Deep Truth: Manipulating public opinion, expressing positions, and serving as commercial tools.

6, Poverty
Surface Truth: Poverty is not just a lack of material resources but also a limitation of thought and opportunity.
Deep Truth: Being engulfed by massive information, trapped in an information cocoon, losing the ability to think and verify, blindly following trends, having low motivation, and becoming increasingly impoverished.

7, Success
Surface Truth: Wealth, power, fame, and profit; secular success is like a carrot dangling in front of a donkey, leading people to chase after fame and fortune, rolling in life and death.
Deep Truth: True success comes from inner peace, self-satisfaction, passion, not being defined, and not being swept away by worldly pressures.
But almost no one achieves this, and those who manipulate from behind cannot achieve it either.

8, Freedom
Surface Truth: Doing as one wishes.
Deep Truth: Within responsibility and under rules, being able to follow one's heart, see the real self, and live in a preferred way.

9, Marriage
Surface Truth: Marriage is about the result of love, mutual support, understanding, and tolerance.
Deep Truth: Marriage is about passing on the family line, protecting property, and achieving win-win cooperation.

10, The World
Surface Truth: The truth of the world lies in peace, cooperation, and coexistence. Only on the basis of equality, respect, and reciprocity can we achieve common progress and development for humanity.
Deep Truth: In this world, you are the only one; everything comes from you. Your existence in this world is existence; if you disappear, the world disappears with you. So, if you change, the world changes; if you do not change, it is useless to try to change anyone else.
