How to treat the argument of involution?

I think involution is like trying to "inflate". On the surface, it seems that efforts have led to involution. In fact, in the increasingly competitive social environment, "man-made knife, I am fish" is a helpless move.

# involution # is an external influence, which mainly acts on individuals in the form of pressure rather than motivation. Its result is partly an excessive effort, which is put in a group as an individual and a way to participate in competition. As for the result of involution, or the result paid for involution, it will not be amplified by double pay. Because for a group, just like facing a cake, it is always so big from beginning to end. Just to get it, individuals need to pay more and have greater uncertainty.

And # effort # is an individual-driven force, which acts on a person's actions to treat a thing, a career or even a lifetime, showing a personal attribute and leading to a clear personal goal.

So how do we deal with involution?

First of all, I don't have to compete with the elite. I only focus on what's in front of me. I have always believed that craftsman is the happiest profession in the world, and craftsman spirit is the antidote to involution. As long as I concentrate on my work enough, I put everything I have into the immediate things, and those external anxieties will not infect me.

Secondly, since you can't beat others, make the cake bigger and even find new cakes. Compared with the roll kings who are both intelligent and self-disciplined in off the charts, we have one advantage-we are not caught in the same prisoner's dilemma as them. They spend most of their time competing with each other to achieve their goals, but they lose their leisure to think about their lives.

Of course, my idea is still extremely naive. However, no matter how individuals face involution or how society solves it, the problem of involution needs to be solved, and it is absolutely impossible to dive into the torrent of involution. Therefore, we should read more books, experience more and improve our thinking. One day, after reaching a higher latitude, there will be a road ahead.
