Sixth level, environmental level.

Brothers at this level often say, 'His dad is richer than my dad.' It feels like others’ success is all thanks to their daddies.

Isn't this kind of guy the most common in society? You can practically go anywhere and see them everywhere; there’s no shortage of these guys. That's inevitable, as society is structured like a pyramid, and of course, there are the most people at the base.

Another catchphrase of people at the environmental level is 'The macro environment has not been good these two years, so I cannot make money.'

Or say 'The leadership in the company is not competent.'

Guys with this catchphrase seem a bit negative, always making excuses, saying the environment isn't good.

Fifth level, action level.

The catchphrase of the guys at this level is 'Effort'.

Fourth level, ability level.

If the guys at the 'action level' are the hard-working types, then the guys at the 'ability level' are like the clever-working types, with the catchphrase 'Methods and approaches.'

Guys at the ability level seem to have more ideas and methods than those at the action level. Those at the action level seem a bit simple.

Third level, BVR level.

Alias 'Strategist'.

Their catchphrase is 'What is most important currently?'.

B stands for Believe, belief.

V stands for Value, values.

R stands for Rule, rules.

Most of the time in my life, I think and act at this level, first looking at values when observing something.

For example, in cryptocurrency trading, first checking if the project is a vaporware project, if it’s a value coin, advocating for value investment, etc. My way of thinking shows typical characteristics of a strategist.

Second level, identity level.

Alias 'Awakener'.

He considers a situation while considering his own role.

For example, in development, if a lower-level role is a coder, meaning someone who writes code; if a higher-level role, it might be an architect, meaning someone who builds the entire product structure, defines requirements, plans versions, front and back-end interfaces, and even chooses programming languages, etc. Architects are quite impressive; further up, there are product managers, CTOs, etc.

You see, in this description, I first summarize the person using 'role'.

First level, spiritual level.

Alias 'Leader'.

Leaders look at a situation and define its connotation using highly abstract concepts. For example, interviewing the CEO of a blockchain company and asking him how much he thinks Bitcoin is worth, he said, 'Bitcoin is freedom. How much do you say freedom is worth?'

The 'freedom' mentioned here talks about values, but also goes beyond values, touching on spirit.

When encountering someone at the spiritual level, you will feel that your whole being becomes 'spiritual'.

Like Sun Wukong meeting Tang Seng, feeling that the whole monkey is enlightened. The previous monkeys loved to eat peaches, now the monkeys want to seek scriptures.

Going back to talk about Bitcoin, in 2016, I met a woman in Shenzhen Nanshan Technology Park. I mean no disrespect to her; she is from the traditional Internet VC circle. She said they researched Bitcoin and Ethereum and asked programmers who understood development. The programmers said Bitcoin is open-source software, anyone can develop it, and it’s not that difficult. Currently, Bitcoin's total market value is already 6 billion USD, and Ethereum is 2 billion USD. Their market values are too inflated; we can't invest.

Tying into today's topic of 'cognition', programmers’ understanding of Bitcoin often leads to the question 'What is this?'

This is computer software, to be precise, network software; in more detail, open-source software, P2P software.

There may also be some higher-level developers who see 'databases', possibly.

This is all they see.

But this is a relatively low-level observation.

If the level observed is relatively high, one may see digital currencies and virtual currencies.

Seeing at a higher level, seeing the value internet, the entire reconstruction of the internet.

Seeing at a higher level, seeing the de-nationalization of currency.

Seeing at a higher level, seeing the essence of currency, the essence of value, the essence of society, and the essence of humanity.

Like watching (Dao Weird Immortal), seeing at a lower level, seeing something and answering 'What is this?'

This is web literature, cultivation novels. This is indeed correct, but the level of observation is relatively low.

Seeing at a higher level, seeing modern Strange Tales, seeing Cthulhu.

Seeing at a higher level, perhaps seeing the confusion of contemporary youth.

Seeing at a higher level, seeing the ancient spirit of human resistance, seeing philosophy.
