Wu Dong's Theory of Relativity No.412: The more frustrated, the braver (I)

Liang Dong: Hello and welcome to Wu Dong's Theory of Relativity. I'm Liang Dong. Opposite is still the publisher of 2 1 century business review, Wu Bofan and Lao Wu.

Wu Bofan: Hello, everyone.

Liang Dong: Recently, Lao Wu has a lot of dust. According to the truth, winter should be the season of collection, but I find that I still travel everywhere. On the way, the only advantage is that you can read some books. What books have you read these two days?

Wu Bofan: When I was chatting with someone yesterday, I put forward a point, and someone suddenly said, your point is anti-vulnerability, right? Hey, I said, how do you know this book? Because I'm reading books that haven't been published by CITIC Publishing House, or books that are in the review stage. But this book has become very popular in Taiwan Province Province, and some people have read it. This book is very interesting, the name is awkward and fragile, but it is actually a very popular thing. What do you mean?

Liang Dong: Ha ha ha. ...

Wu Bofan: Isn't that candle? ...

Liang Dong: Do you know why I am laughing? I mean, when you talk about death, do you think about yourself? When I think of my old age, I suddenly feel that, alas, people can't accept their own psychological hints. Go ahead.

Wu Bofan: When the wind comes, the candles will blow out. It is fragile. However, there is another state. If there is fire in a place, if there is wind, in the past, when fighting, one army burned down. If there is wind, Zhuge Liang will borrow the east wind, right? That wind, because it helps fire, is called embrittlement resistance. Candles are fragile, but once they catch fire, they will actually make you stronger and stronger.

Liang Dong: So this state of fire is called brittleness resistance?

Wu Bofan: Yes, like the state of fire, or drug resistance. For example, your body, because of treatment, the use of this antibiotic will lead to this body, which is what we often say is drug resistance. It's just that its viruses and germs will get stronger and stronger. The more you attack it, the stronger it will become. Do you remember when we first started this program, we talked about an organization called Starfish, which is at the top of the sea. As long as you cut off that corner, it won't have any effect. If you cut off that horn, it will grow a starfish again. The more you chop, the more it will multiply. You help it reproduce.

Liang Dong: I know what you mean. It is reasonable to say that the wind can destroy the candle, but the wind facing the fire actually encourages the fire. Just like starfish, everything is afraid of being chopped, but for starfish, the chopping gets worse, right? This is what I understand as mutual restraint. One year, I once interviewed a fortune teller. This is interesting, but the facts can explain it. That is to say, isn't it always said in the traditional culture of China that people of the same clan and people of the same clan will contain each other? For example, people who belong to tigers and monkeys will contain each other, right? I asked him if it was like this, because there are several monkeys in our family and our friends are monkeys. What shall we do? As a result, the teacher said, this man's name is Su Mingfeng, and I remember it very clearly. He is a famous warlock in Hong Kong. He said that among warlocks, there is something called mutual containment. Generally speaking, if you are bound, you will not be born. But for people in a certain state, the more restrained you are, the better you will be born. This state is called mutual restraint. In other words, because I hurt you, you are born better. In the past, we turned life and dick into opposing sides. He said that for a certain model of people, if you are given a moderate gram, it will actually encourage your life. I thought, is this what you want to talk about?

Wu Bofan: Here it is.

Liang Dong: Only when they are compatible can they grow together.

Wu Bofan: Yes, there are three myths in ancient Greece that illustrate this fragility, tenacity and anti-fragility. Fragility is like the sword of Damocles. There is a man named Damocles. In order to threaten him and warn him, the emperor hung a sword on his head with a hair. He sat there with a sword on his head. Think about how terrible it is. The sword of Damocles, which later became a fixed statement, is in a very dangerous state and may happen at any time. ...

Liang Dong: It's called the Great Sword on the Head, isn't it? I have seen it before, but I can never remember Damocles. Right?

Wu Bofan: Yes. This is fragile, and another is that there is an animal called Phoenix Felix in myth, which is very similar in shape to the Phoenix in China. It has a characteristic that you only need to burn it once, you only need to burn it to death, and then it resurfaces from the ashes, and it will grow another one. ...

Liang Dong: Phoenix is nirvana.

Wu Bofan: Yes, it is such a state. No matter how you burn it, it can't be destroyed.

Liang Dong: It's getting worse?

Wu Bofan: It's not big. How can you burn it? After a while, it will become that phoenix, which is very resilient. It has good toughness and toughness. This is a state. There is another kind of animal that is terrible. In Greek mythology, it is called hydra, which means it has nine heads. When Hercules goes to kill it, he will cut it with that sword. If you chop off one head, it will grow two heads. If you chop off another head, it will grow two heads. It's terrible. If these three States are actually three kinds of people, one kind of person, that is, he is very exquisite and high-end atmosphere, but ...

Liang Dong: You can't stand being destroyed. Once you destroy it, you will be destroyed.

Wu Bofan: Once destroyed, it will be destroyed. In the book "Anti-Vulnerability", it is said that generally speaking, he said that in your city or hotel, the people who are particularly well dressed are those who are particularly sloppy in suits and ties. Generally speaking, their vulnerability is relatively strong, and their living conditions are very strong. Generally speaking, people who dress neatly in Wall Street and central Hong Kong are the most vulnerable. Once he loses this job, he will have nothing. There is another person who is untidy. Don't look at him

Liang Dong: Is it a bat or unkempt? Have a rest, then come back immediately, sit down and feel the second pulse of economic life-Wu Dong's theory of relativity.

Pianhua: Why is anti-vulnerability a sign of organism vitality? How can trauma stimulate people's potential? Why is anti-vulnerability a common feature of all high-growth organizations in history? Why does almost every nation in the world have hunger therapy? Why are random events the source of human innovation? Welcome to Wu Dong's Theory of Relativity, the topic of this issue-the more frustrated, the braver.

Liang Dong: Hello and welcome to Wu Dong's Theory of Relativity. I'm Liang Dong, and the publisher of 20th Century Business Review (2 1) is Wu Bofan and Lao Wu.

Wu Bofan: Hello, everyone.

Liang Dong: The topic we are talking about today is related to a book called Anti-Vulnerability. Lao Wu, how about this book? Take a sneak peek. What is this book about? People or things have three states: one is called fragile state, which looks exquisite, "well", once destroyed, it will be destroyed; The other one is called hardliners, right? Just like the phoenix that bathed in fire, it came back as a phoenix after burning, but it didn't get bigger; The most terrible thing is the hydra state, which is called the anti-fragile state, that is, there were originally nine heads, and after you cut off one head, you "hmm" and grew two heads.

Wu Bofan: One head has become two heads. If you cut off all nine heads, it will become 18 head. If you cut off your 18 head, it will become 36 heads. It's terrible.

Liang Dong: So, this state. Actually, I think it's a bit like a state called mutual resistance. For some people, this is called getting stronger when you meet strength. The more frustrated, the more brave, too ...

Wu Bofan: He is in an increasingly depressed and excited state.

Liang Dong: Right, right, right. Therefore, it is to divide people into three kinds of people, which are actually the three States of the world. Therefore, for example, Lao Wu said that in Central and Wall Street, all kinds of men and women in suits and well-dressed clothes are actually terrible. In fact, they are wearing armor. After the bang, he was nothing. What about the other kind of person?

Wu Bofan: People like slovenly people. On the contrary, it's hard to destroy them. Either they are in a strong state, or they are in an anti-fragile state, or they are getting more and more depressed. I understand the so-called entrepreneurship that we have been talking about now. As for the first two, the first one can only be a professional manager, which is a fragile state, that is, he can be exquisite, but without a rule and a process, he may be nothing. Secondly, his state is very bad. Generally speaking, he can be a professional manager or start his own business, but he is really not the kind of entrepreneurial spirit we are talking about. Entrepreneurship is the kind of animal that is more frustrated and brave, like a starfish and a hydra.

Liang Dong: Yes, fighting addiction.

Wu Bofan: Yes. If you don't hit him, he's worthless.

Liang Dong: That's what he is.

Wu Bofan: Yes, as long as you have external things, challenges and all kinds of challenges, the more you destroy him, the more you want to destroy him, the stronger he becomes.

Liang Dong: It can be described in one sentence. It usually looks soft, but it is hard. This is the kind of person, right? Ha ha.

Wu Bofan: Right, right, right.

Liang Dong: Understandably, there are always some such people among people.

Liang Dong: Small probability event.

Wu Bofan: Yes, small probability events. In other words, many of our seemingly powerful systems will be completely destroyed by you once a small probability event occurs. Therefore, there are many kinds of forecasting systems to prevent this black swan event and prevent this risk. We will continue to make various predictions to guard against its arrival, but once that thing arrives, the probability of the black swan event is so small that you can't imagine what it looks like at all, and it will destroy you at once. He believes that the best state of risk prevention is not to predict this risk, but to change yourself from fragile to tenacious, preferably anti-fragile, so there is no need to prevent risks. There are many such things in history. Take history as an example. When we study the history of religion, the most typical one is Christianity, right? At that time, there was a book called The Catcher in the Rye. The protagonist always asked him, Judas, what do you think of Judas? He said Judas was fine. The teacher was very angry. Judas is a traitor. He said yes. The teacher is also very cultured, so tell me why he can. He said that if Judas had not betrayed Jesus, Jesus would not have been crucified, and Christianity would not even have a sign. Well, then Christianity begins with suffering. It is getting stronger and stronger, and the more it is attacked and persecuted, the stronger it is, right? In fact, many organizations in history, whether entrepreneurs, social movements, economic organizations or social organizations, have this anti-vulnerability feature.

Liang Dong: I often have a strange feeling, Lao Wu. That's it. Actually, we already know. We don't need to learn this term. We also know that there is a kind of person in this world whose name is getting stronger and stronger.

Wu Bofan: The more depressed, the more excited.

Liang Dong: Yes, the more depressed you are, the more excited you are. I also know that there is such a state that only mutual restraint can coexist. Why did you create another kind of person, that is, the person who wrote the book, with a new name and wrote such a thick book? I think it's a matter of one sentence.

Wu Bofan: Not at all. He can put us in front of him. Why did he write this book? He is targeting at our entire social management system, economic management system, including the education system, and there is a very terrible thing in it.

Liang Dong: What?

Wu Bofan: It is this factor that interferes with this anti-loophole, and it has always existed.

Liang Dong: Like what?

Wu Bofan: For example, your medical care, such as antibiotics, what is its state? What does trauma mean? There is a concept called micro-trauma, that is, if we want to be strong, you must ...

Liang Dong: You must get hurt often.

Wu Bofan: Yes. For example, why are your muscles and the weightlifter's arms so thick? The reason is that he keeps suffering from this kind of trauma. As far as our body itself is concerned, the potential of the body must be stimulated through this kind of trauma.

Liang Dong: Yes! That's what happened. This is also the reason why many people oppose Chinese medicine. I told him why Chinese medicine is effective. This thing you are talking about is that all traditional medical treatments are doing this thing. Acupuncture has no potion. Why is it useful? To some extent, acupuncture is what you said, which is to do acceptable damage to the local area and then stimulate your body's self-repair ability to solve the problems in this area, as well as scraping and cupping. There's a movie about scrapping, right? Many people who have received modern education say that this is harmful to children, but what do they not understand? What don't they understand? That is to say, why can scrapping cure diseases? In fact, scraping is a small and controllable minimally invasive operation on subcutaneous tissue. Then after causing such damage to him, mobilize your own immunity and repair ability to improve. Actually, it's not that Chinese medicine is. Almost all the primitive medicine I know, or instinctive medicine and ecological medicine, are talking about this matter. It's just that this medical system, which comes down in one continuous strain, went astray and went the wrong way, not just in China, right?

Wu Bofan: For example, hunger, almost every nation has this kind of hunger therapy, such as breaking the valley.

Liang Dong: Not only in China, but all over the world.

Wu Bofan: What is his explanation for this hunger therapy? Because at first, hunger was the norm.

Liang Dong: Yes.

Wu Bofan: You often can't find anything to eat.

Liang Dong: Yes.

Wu Bofan: Because you can't find food, your body is very …

Liang Dong: This is a kind of life energy to satisfy hunger.

Wu Bofan: This energy will be activated.

Liang Dong: Yes.

Wu Bofan: What is the reason for your long-term modern illness?

Liang Dong: I'm seldom hungry.

Wu Bofan: When you seldom feel hungry, you are standardized. You always have a work schedule, such as going to work, getting off work and what time to eat. Everything is a process, which makes the contingency and randomness in our lives less and less. Random events are actually a source of innovation in this world. Taleb, for example, also wrote a book called Random Arrogant Fool. He thinks that for those professors, he gave an extreme example, that is, he invited two so-called business school professors to help them choose stocks, carefully went through various charts, data, histograms and pie charts, and finally gained something, and then selected a few stocks. Later, it was found that the monkey's stock selection was more profitable than that of the two professors.

Liang Dong: This possibility exists.

Wu Bofan: Yes, randomness, such as this hunger, such as diabetes, and a large number of modern diseases, especially the explosive growth of these diseases, actually has a lot to do with our non-random sexual life and non-random state.

Liang Dong: Yes, I think it's very good. That's all I said. Thank you very much.

Wu Bofan: But why do you want to challenge this thing?

Liang Dong: I'm not challenging. I think this thing is like this. As far as this book is concerned, it tells a very simple truth. Just like a book about political science I read before, how does this kind of political science respond to this book? Take a break and be right back. Sitting on the ground and opening up the second pulse of economic life, Wu's theory of relativity in winter.

Pianhua: Why is anti-vulnerability the core of entrepreneurship? How should humans learn to seek advantages and avoid disadvantages? Why is it that the best way for an organization, even a financial system, to prevent risks is not to make predictions, but to resist vulnerability? How does the organizational management system of modern society destroy the anti-vulnerability and vitality of individuals and organizations by preventing risks? Welcome to the winter of relativity, Wu, the topic of this issue-the more frustrated, the braver.

Liang Dong: Hello and welcome to Wu Dong's Theory of Relativity. I'm Liang Dong, and the publisher of 20th Century Business Review (2 1) is Wu Bofan and Lao Wu.

Wu Bofan: Hello, everyone.

Liang Dong: Today we are discussing a book. Lao Wu shared a book called Anti-Fragility with us. Speaking of it, the human body or the body of any organization has a mechanism of self-motivation and self-repair. A local injury comes, sometimes it is more than just an injury to him. It is very likely that this kind of minor injury will stimulate the inner instinct, or the instinct of life. Whether this life is an organization or a person, it will be beneficial to the life of this organization and this individual. This incident reminds me of reading a book on political science before. This book on political science says that when the contradictions within a country are irreconcilable, it is suggested to launch a small war. He said that this kind of small war with the enemy can often gather internal knowledge and concentrate all internal people on the outside, so that all internal contradictions can be solved at once. And many things that cannot be solved can be solved through this small war. I forget who told which book. In fact, I think this concept and premise are the same, and it is the same for a person, an organization and a country. We sometimes use antonyms. There is a saying in the Tao Te Ching that "using opposites means using Tao". To use the opposite is to use the opposite of you. Use it well. This is also an art. To some extent, I think Ma Yun made good use of a competitor like ebay. In other words, when Taobao first started to do it, Taobao chased ebay every day. In the public relations war, it often fights with various strategies, which soon makes people feel that Taobao and ebay are the same level companies. In fact, at the beginning, we all knew that eBay had much more money than Taobao. However, because Ma Yun chased ebay every day, he imported the image and energy of the brand established by ebay into Taobao to some extent, making Taobao a brand power with the help of ebay and world-class companies. At this point, I think he is also using the reverse.

Wu Bofan: He is different, that is, he has, for example, that kind of hype you use, but there are not many such people. I caught a celebrity, and I tried my best to spit him out, and then I made myself famous by spitting out the celebrity, which has nothing to do with anti-vulnerability. In fact, he does his own body, but in many ways, he is a kind of, this is a technique, that is, by challenging something, he is a kind of hype, and his head here is fragile. He is related to a therapy, a detoxification method, a ladder detoxification method, called Mithrada, which is an ancient Greek and ancient Greek myth, that is, being alone for a long time.

Liang Dong: Drug resistance, right?

Wu Bofan: Yes, one is anti-poison, and the five poisons have finally become non-invasive.

Liang Dong: Ha, ha, ha, it's just one of the legends, that is, China college students have diarrhea when they eat in the United States, and he is the only one who is fine. Isn't that why? Ha ha ha, this matter was mentioned in the news some time ago, right?

Wu Bofan: Maybe it's a windfall.

Liang Dong: Ha, ha, ha. I have a friend in Canada who has emigrated. He said that he would send his children back to China regularly for a period of time. I said I asked him why. He said that I found that I had to send it back for a month or two every year anyway. After I came back, the child had no rubella. He doesn't have any allergic reaction either, hahaha, it's good to come back.

Wu Bofan: It is this kind of seeking advantages and avoiding disadvantages, which is a relatively fundamental thing.

Liang Dong: This is a kind of vaccinia.

Wu Bofan: It was first used in medicine, all kinds.

Liang Dong: Vaccination surgery.

Wu Bofan: Vaccines, all kinds of vaccines, actually have this tendency, but what's the difference? What he finally achieved was toughness, not resistance to fragility. That is, he did it. After inoculation, you let your body recognize the virus, so when it comes in.

Liang Dong: At best, it will remain the same.

Wu Bofan: Leave it as it is. It's called resilience. That kind, the kind we are talking about now, is that when you come, it will be stronger, and when you come, it will be stronger.

Liang Dong: It's getting stronger, right?

Wu Bofan: Well, as far as he is concerned, people are actually writing this. This man studies financial problems and business problems. He cited these examples, and finally he wanted to explain how an organization, a company or a financial system can really guard against risks. Some big companies, faced with various challenges when they were young, became stronger little by little, and unconsciously became the hydra and became stronger. But at a certain time, it will use various means to invite various consulting companies, and then use various legal means and various means to protect it. This protection, this intervention mechanism, is precisely to reduce its anti-vulnerability.

Liang Dong: I understand, I understand. Just like "if you want your child to be safe, you have to be hungry and cold." Any old lady in the countryside knows that you shouldn't feed the child and keep him warm. In this case, he will have stronger vitality. Nowadays, many children in the city often catch a cold. What is the reason? Too full, too warm, so, there is no such thing, as you said, because he has established various good and effective prevention mechanisms, the pressure of his own life itself and the instinct of life have been hurt.

Wu Bofan: Yes, he is actually, well, he is actually secretly destroying life. He thinks he's protecting life. For example, antibiotics prescribed by doctors are often hurting you. He is actually a reminder. This book is a reminder. That is to say, for example, education, education, he said it is best to learn. He has a unique skill. He often goes abroad, but he doesn't know the language of that country. He didn't know the language of that country at all and went to that country. Because of this, he learned a set of sign language things, and he can travel there smoothly. But later, he became famous. That's it. Give him what translation? What? His coping ability is getting worse and worse. He can't do anything without an interpreter. When he was young, he was one of those backpackers. It is such a state that he uses everything. He is almost anything, Turkey and Croatia.

Liang Dong: I see. Suppose his success makes him a basket case.

Wu Bofan: Yes.

Liang Dong: Right? That's what we're talking about, right?

Wu Bofan: Yes.

Liang Dong: Ah, then, Lao Wu, I see. You are an anti-fragile thing, which reminds me of that sentence called "anti-Tao" repeatedly in my mind. Ah, it is how to use those things that are bad for you and hurt you to help you become a stronger body. This is the whole book, isn't it? For organizations and individuals, we should always be alert to the self-pressure, self-repair and self-growth that protect us on the surface and actually hurt our lives! This thing is something that every one of us must remind, that is, "born in sorrow, died in happiness." Well, thank you for listening to this issue of Wu Dong's Theory of Relativity. See you next time, same time!
