为什么西方人要哀叹 “They are just another brick in the wall” 6park.com在当代的无人工厂里,连灯都不需要安装的现实或许已经足够让我们反思:传统意义上的“按劳分配”早已成为一个不切实际的口号。现实中,分配并非依据劳动的多寡或价值,而是依据社会等级。这是一个“低武世界”,个人的力量微不足道,却为何仍有那么多人选择服从?又是什么让权力体系得以运转?这些问题背后,隐藏着人类对个体与集体的深刻误解。 6park.com 6park.com1. 个人与集体:从幻觉到服从 6park.com一个人能有什么力量?他既不是超凡的元婴老怪,也没有魔法加身。然而,一个人若借用集体的名义,乃至被赋予“国家意志”或“上帝使命”,便似乎能凌驾于所有个体之上,代表所有人的利益。这种逻辑不仅在西方盛行,在东方同样根深蒂固。 6park.com 6park.com个体的独立性往往被集体主义的幻象所吞没。许多人误以为,集体的存在高于一切,甚至不惜牺牲个体利益来维护所谓“集体荣誉”。然而,离开了一个个独立的个体,集体又从何而来?脱离个体去谈集体,实际上不是空谈,就是一种掩盖私利的手段。 6park.com 6park.com中华传统文化曾提供一种不同的视角。传统中,个体与集体的关系并非机械式的“方阵”排列,而更像同心圆:从个人到家庭,再扩展到国家乃至天下。这种模式本质上是内外相连的,而非相互矛盾的。这与现代社会强调的方阵式分工和标准化截然不同。现代社会提倡的“个性解放”,不过是因为家庭难以标准化为工业社会中的可替换零件,而被迫推行的伪自由。 6park.com 6park.com2. “另一块砖”的背后:工业化与摩登社会的幻象 6park.com“They are just another brick in the wall” 是英国摇滚乐队平克·弗洛伊德(Pink Floyd)对工业化社会的控诉。在摩登社会的语境中,每个人似乎可以自由选择工作,可以从一家公司跳槽到另一家公司,似乎拥有了比传统社会更多的自由。然而,这种自由不过是一种幻觉:即使跳槽成功,个体仍然只是整个工商业体系中标准化的零件,一块可以随时被替换的砖。 6park.com 6park.com自由:被标准化的自由 6park.com现代社会的自由,更多是一种“相对自由”。它只是在家庭、家族、传统伦理中获得了解放,但仍旧被束缚于整个工商业体系的规则之中。个体的“个性”被压缩到万圣节穿一套鬼服装或换一身休闲装的层面,而不是真正的精神自由。 6park.com 6park.com平等:为了效率的伪平等 6park.com现代社会提倡的平等,本质是为了方便劳动力的标准化。每个人都需要被格式化,成为一个适合工业社会需求的可替换零件。个体价值被抽象化,个性的多样性反而成为效率的障碍。 6park.com 6park.com博爱:扩张的工具 6park.com至于所谓的博爱,在工业化与商业化的背景下,也早已变成一种扩张的手段。从一战中的“为国争光”到二战中的民族主义,博爱不过是为了服务特定的国家或社会集团利益。 6park.com 6park.com3. 自我意识陷阱:从个体到外部世界 6park.com真正的独立,并非来自所谓的制度设计,而是从心内生出的一种自尊与自足。真正的平等是天生的,就如同每个人都拥有一台电视机,播放内容不同,但本质上没有高低之分。真正的自由是内心不受外界祸福所扰,而不是在商业社会中追逐“选择的自由”。 6park.com 6park.com现代社会的问题,在于对外部世界的过度依赖。人们尚未解决自身的内在问题,就急于向外扩张,去改变世界甚至开拓宇宙。这种行为本身是一种疯狂,往往会陷入标准化的陷阱。现代工业社会鼓吹大规模分工与协作,但这种协作更多是以军事化组织为模板,压制了个体的创造性与多样性。 6park.com 6park.com4. 摩登化的光与影 6park.com现代社会的摩登化起源于荷兰和英美,其背后是新教加尔文主义的文化动机——追求财富作为上帝选民的标志。而法国的“自由、平等、博爱”则为非加尔文宗国家的工业化提供了价值体系。这些价值观看似无懈可击,但其本质是为商业文明服务,而不是追求真正的人类幸福。 6park.com 6park.com摩登社会的优点在于,市场机制调节了分工合作的效率;而其缺点在于,为了实现经济扩张和物质极大丰富的目标,不得不推动过度的标准化和军事化。这种标准化不仅破坏了自然环境,也使得人类的生活环境越来越接近军营,而独立思考能力的退化更是为了适应这种环境的必然结果。 6park.com 6park.com5. 中华文化的可能新路 6park.com在工业社会中,教育的目标是培养标准化的螺丝钉。然而,AI机器人可以比人类更快更精准地完成任务,因此人口出生率的下降成为了必然的趋势。如果摩登化的中华文化一直保持这种标准化倾向,那将无法摆脱工业社会的陷阱。 6park.com 6park.com真正的出路在于“以人为本”。每个人的基因和个性都具有独特的价值,这种多样性是分工合作高度化的前提。如果能够认识到这种多样性的珍贵,中华文化或许可以摆脱摩登文明的一刀切模式,走出一条新的道路。 6park.com 6park.com希望未来仍然有选择的余地。 6park.com 6park.com结语:从内在到外在的视角 6park.com无论是私有、国有,还是公有,这三者在本质上都是对所有权的不同技术实现形式。现代商业体系中的私有制,大部分实际上也都是公有的,因为财富的集中只不过是通过金融体系完成的抽象化操作。真正的区别不在于制度,而在于文化。 6park.com 6park.com中华文化的精髓在于“不假外求”,一种从容与自在的态度。外国的文化(包括马列主义、资本主义,以及宗教神学)倾向于将目光投向外部世界,将其视为资源的竞技场,进行争夺、开拓和殖民。而传统的中国文化,则强调“心内之物”,认为世界是一场被欣赏的戏剧,而非单纯的工具或资源。 6park.com 6park.com如果我们能够从这种内在的视角出发,重新审视工业社会的标准化和扩张逻辑,或许我们能够找到一条既尊重个体独特性,又能够实现高度分工合作的新路。这将是中华文化在未来与摩登文明碰撞后的希望所在。 6park.com------------------------------------ 6park.com 6park.com在无人工厂连灯都不用装的今天,我想,人们应该能比较清晰地认识到:按劳分配再合理再道德,也是不切实际的口号。实际只是按级别分配而已,这是个低武世界。没有人能真地独裁。为什么会有那么多人服从?一个人能有什么力量,又不是元婴老怪。因为至今人们还是对一个人跳了集体主义或上帝真主的大神,国家意志上身,就能代表所有人这一套还很买单,不分中外都是如此。个人独立孤立于集体潜意识是自我意识陷阱带来的幻觉。然而没有一个个个体,又哪里来的集体?离开个体谈集体,不是空谈,就是欺骗,用来掩盖其自私的目的。在中华传统文化里,如果要列阵,那就不会是方阵,而是一个个同心圆,最外圈就是整个国家乃至天下,因此个人主义与集体主义是不矛盾。现代的方阵凸显了所谓摩登社会提倡个性的虚伪,那不过是因为家庭难以标准化为社会大生产的可替换零件而提倡的。工业革命后的摩登社会在生产与生活水平方面领先太多了,其他社会不得不追赶或学习,包括价值系统。 6park.com 6park.com然而荷兰以及英美的现代化的背后是新教卡尔文宗为了证明自己是上帝的选民而敬业乃至追求发财之类的事业成功。 这套理论我先不解释了,反正不是这个宗派文化里的人学不了。 6park.com 6park.com所以其实所谓的西方普世价值是法国在他们自己的文化大革命后建立的摩登法国文化的价值。 6park.com 6park.com简而言之,就是以其国旗蓝白红三色为代表的自由,平等,与博爱。 6park.com 6park.com这三者似乎是无可指摘的,更不用反对了。其实不然。 6park.com 6park.com因为这种平等或自由以及所谓的博爱,就是为了建立非卡尔文宗的摩登商业文明而提倡的,严格说来都不是什么真正的平等、自由、与博爱。 6park.com 6park.com先说自由,摩登社会与传统社会不同,一个人今天不满意这个公司了,明天就可以跳槽,似乎很自由。但他能跳到哪里去?其实还是被整个工商业体系标准化的可置换零件,如一颗螺丝钉或一块砖,哪里有脱离墙或大机器的自由? 6park.com 6park.com再说平等,也是为了方便标准化每一个劳动力而提倡的。所谓个性,所谓个体的解放,只是相对家庭,家族,封建大家庭而言,相对整个摩登体系而言,哪有什么个性可言,能在万圣节换下西装套服缓口气也算解放了? 6park.com 6park.com而所谓的博爱,是为非卡尔文宗的社会扩张提供动力的,实际造成了分别爱自己国家的一战,与分别爱自己民族的二战。 6park.com 6park.com真正的博爱首先应该爱自己,关注自己,而不是先急于去开拓。依我看,人们对我所说的自我意识陷阱认识不足,自身的问题还没有解决就急于向外改造世界甚至开拓宇宙,本身就是疯狂的表现,难免陷入我说过的标准化陷阱。 6park.com 6park.com真正的平等本就平等,好比人人一台电视机,不会因为在播放豪门恩怨而高级,也不会因为在播放昆虫总动员而低级。却反自尊,要靠平均分配来建立自尊,不会是真正的自尊。 6park.com 6park.com真正的自由是不为顺逆祸福所动,自尊自信自爱,独立思考,敢于改字典包括圣经。所谓资本之恶来自现代商业制度的缺陷,而不是人性的贪婪。摩登社会(或者现代商业)也是既有好的地方,也有坏的地方的。 好的地方是分工合作的配合度由市场调节,相对比较准。 坏的地方是经理人在按资本分配的底层逻辑的支配下总是选择扩张。为了在股票市场上圈钱,或实现物质极大丰富的前景,无论哪个制度的现代国家,都在追求快速扩张,为此过度地标准化与类军事组织化,不仅破坏环境,也使人类社会环境恶劣,只有独立思考能力退化才能适应这种类军营的环境。(包括人人想做四分卫的所谓自由的美国)无论无私有多么的正当,多么的道德。实际上做不到就是做不到,再怎么样感情用事,来多少遍 ,也还是证明做不到而已。 狠斗私心一闪念,就相当于拔自己的头发以为能长得高一点。属于自欺欺人。 没有私有制,甚至没有私有物,连身体都是公家的(我猜这才是 所谓的我将无我),人还是自私的。 因为所有物和所有者是两个概念。 一无所有,无产,但还是有个我的。 (混淆概念。方便了 们为所欲为,还可以自欺欺人,说不是出于私心。就好比跳了集体主义的大神,国家意志上身,就不受你们凡人的道德约束了。) 所谓中华文化大约有两个,传统的,现代的。 6park.com 6park.com传统文化已经失落,只有极少数人有切身的体会。 6park.com 6park.com现代的中华文化还未定型。一方面绝大多数中国人已经不能理直气壮地谈论“不假外求”了,另一方面人们的对道德以及修身的迷恋还在,吊诡地是,常常反向操作,误以为无耻就无敌。说一套做一套的传统也还在,只是不再以家族内的伦理为仁义道德的基础,而改提倡为国为集体了。 6park.com 6park.com这种文化比较接近日本明治维新后的军国文化,容易被摩登化中过分标准化的倾向所裹挟,不容易注意高度分工合作才是文明高度所在。(天降大任,亲自上阵,包打天下,无需分工,是文明的倒退,不是什么革新进步) 6park.com 6park.com如果现代文化一直是怎样的,教育以培养标准化螺丝钉为目的,那么怎么能比得过AI机器人,生育率下降是必然的。 6park.com 6park.com如果能真的以人为本,而不是机械化大生产工业斯巴达为最高理想,能认识到每个人基因不同的可贵,每个人个性之利于高度分工,中华文明或可摆脱千篇一律的摩登文明走出新路。 6park.com 6park.com希望至少一切还在未定之数吧。私有,国有,公有,在我看来即是三个不同的概念,又其实是相同的。所谓国有就是以集体的名义,以国家意志上身的类跳大神的技术实现的一种私有。而在现代商业体系下,所有私有中的绝大部分就是公有。因为一个人,无论多有钱,也只有一个肉身,一段百年内的寿命,消费有限,钱都在银行之类的公司里。所谓除了中国人,都是外国人,中外有别。这种区别主要不在于饮食或汉服。 更重要得多的是,真正的中国人在怎么看(世界与人生)这件事上,与许许多多外国人,包括德国犹太人,是截然相反的。 我在别处说过,人都是差不多的,与其检讨人种不如检讨文化。 中国文化的根本(或精髓)在于不假外求,从容不迫,甚至自在逍遥。 人所面对的也基本一样,但在怎么面对(或面对的是什么)这件事上,中外正好相反。 外国人,包括马列恩斯毛,也包括他们政治上的对立面,首先贴了个标签“外”,或外部世界, 面对个外在的宇宙,看什么都是所谓的资源,要斗争,要抢夺,要利用,要开拓,要殖民,等等等等。(信的也往往是个外在的神灵)(这是有了个自我,而又找不到自己究竟是什么,从而发疯去攀援的表现。) 中国人,例如王阳明,贴的是“内”,一切都是心内之物, 这心不是指心脏,也不是指头脑或思维,比较难解释,中国内典虽多,真有体会而不只是口头禅的不多。 简单来讲,就好比是个舞台,人生就是一场戏,一切都是被欣赏的对象,而不是什么有用的东西或无用的垃圾。 (这是觉悟自在自足,从容甚至逍遥的表现) 对于许多自以为是中国人的人来说,首先考虑的就是有用还是没用。 所以我曾说中国早就亡了,不仅亡国,还亡天下。 6park.comWhy Do Westerners Lament "They Are Just Another Brick in the Wall"? 6park.comIn today’s fully automated factories, where not even lights are needed, it has become increasingly clear that the traditional slogan of “distribution according to labor” is not only impractical but entirely unrealistic. In reality, distribution has always been based on social hierarchy rather than effort or morality. This is a "low-tech world" where no one can truly rule alone. Why, then, do so many people comply? What gives power its force? The answer lies in a widespread yet flawed belief that an individual, once elevated by collective ideology or divine authority, can somehow represent the will of all. This logic is prevalent worldwide, in both the East and the West. 6park.com 6park.com1. The Individual and the Collective: From Illusion to Compliance 6park.comWhat power does a single individual truly have? They are neither a mythical being nor a superhuman entity. Yet, when imbued with the aura of collective will or national interest, this individual is seen as representing everyone. This belief is rooted in a deep-seated illusion that values the collective above the individual. 6park.com 6park.comHowever, the collective is meaningless without individuals. To speak of the collective while ignoring the individual is either an empty abstraction or a deceptive tactic to mask selfish motives. 6park.com 6park.comIn traditional Chinese culture, the relationship between individuals and the collective is envisioned not as rigid "blocks" in a grid but as concentric circles, with the individual at the center and extending outward to include family, the nation, and the world. This perspective inherently links individualism and collectivism rather than opposing them. Modern society, however, promotes the façade of individualism, which often merely serves the needs of industrial standardization, treating individuals as interchangeable parts within the machinery of production. 6park.com 6park.com2. "Another Brick in the Wall": The Illusion of Modern Freedom 6park.comThe lament "They are just another brick in the wall," popularized by Pink Floyd, is a sharp critique of industrial society. Modernity promises freedom — the ability to change jobs, for instance, whenever one feels dissatisfied. But where can one jump to? In reality, individuals remain standardized components of the industrial-commercial system, mere screws or bricks within a larger machine. 6park.com 6park.comThe Illusion of Freedom 6park.comIn modern societies, the notion of freedom is relative. It liberates individuals from family, clan, and feudal constraints but rebinds them within the industrial-commercial framework. Genuine individuality is sacrificed for system efficiency. Even expressions of "freedom," like donning a Halloween costume or casual wear, are trivial compared to true freedom of thought or self-expression. 6park.com 6park.comThe Pseudo-Equality of Standardization 6park.comModern society’s equality is not about genuine respect for individuals but about facilitating labor standardization. The promotion of individuality and personal liberation is relative to traditional family structures but meaningless when viewed within the context of the modern system that prioritizes efficiency above all else. 6park.com 6park.comMisguided Brotherhood 6park.comBrotherhood in the modern industrial context often serves as a justification for expansion and conquest. Historical examples, such as the nationalism-driven conflicts of World War I and World War II, show how the ideal of brotherhood can devolve into exclusionary, divisive ideologies. 6park.com 6park.com3. The Trap of Self-Awareness: From the Individual to the External World 6park.comTrue independence is not granted by societal systems but arises from inner confidence and self-sufficiency. Real equality exists innately, just as every individual owning a television does not make one person superior for watching a soap opera or inferior for watching an animated film. Genuine self-respect comes from within, not from externally imposed systems or equal distribution. 6park.com 6park.comModern society’s flaw lies in its external orientation. People rush to change the external world, colonize new frontiers, and even explore space without first resolving their inner issues. This is a manifestation of madness, inevitably leading to the trap of standardization. While modern industrial society extols large-scale collaboration, this often comes at the expense of individual creativity and diversity, sacrificing independence for conformity. 6park.com 6park.com4. The Duality of Modernization 6park.comThe roots of modernization, as seen in nations like the Netherlands, Britain, and the United States, stem from Calvinism’s work ethic: the pursuit of wealth as a sign of being one of God’s elect. Meanwhile, France’s values of "liberty, equality, fraternity," forged in its own cultural revolution, offered an alternative ideological foundation for industrial society. 6park.com 6park.comThese values, seemingly unassailable, are not without flaws. They primarily serve the needs of commercial civilization rather than genuine human well-being. 6park.com 6park.comThe Advantage: Modernization enables markets to fine-tune collaboration efficiency. 6park.comThe Disadvantage: The relentless pursuit of expansion underpins modern systems, promoting over-standardization and quasi-military organization. This not only harms the environment but also forces humans to adapt to an increasingly regimented society, stifling critical thinking in the process. 6park.com5. A New Path for Chinese Civilization? 6park.comIn industrial societies, education aims to produce standardized "screws" for the machinery of production. However, AI robots can perform these roles with greater speed and accuracy, making declining birth rates inevitable. If China’s modernization continues to embrace excessive standardization, it risks falling into the same trap. 6park.com 6park.comThe alternative lies in genuinely "people-centric" development. Recognizing the value of each individual’s unique genetic and personal traits is essential for achieving highly specialized collaboration. By embracing diversity rather than suppressing it, Chinese civilization could transcend the homogenizing trends of modern industrial society and forge a new path forward. 6park.com 6park.comOne can only hope that the future remains open to these possibilities. 6park.com 6park.comConclusion: From Inner Vision to External Perspective 6park.comWhether private, public, or state-owned, all ownership systems are merely different technical expressions of the same fundamental concept. In today’s financialized world, even private wealth is largely abstracted through institutions like banks and corporations. 6park.com 6park.comWhat truly matters is not the form of ownership but the cultural outlook that drives a society. 6park.com 6park.comTraditional Chinese culture emphasizes "self-sufficiency" and inner calm. In contrast, many foreign cultures — including Marxism, capitalism, and various religious ideologies — are preoccupied with external conquest and resource exploitation. This external focus reflects a deeper existential crisis: the inability to understand oneself leads to a desperate need to conquer the outside world. 6park.com 6park.comIn contrast, Chinese thought, as exemplified by figures like Wang Yangming, views everything as "within the mind." This "mind" is not the brain or thought but a stage on which life unfolds. Life, then, is not a battle for resources but a play to be appreciated. 6park.com 6park.comTo reclaim the essence of Chinese culture, one must move away from utilitarian concerns and rediscover the innate value of existence itself. By doing so, China might find a path that respects individual uniqueness while fostering collaborative innovation, offering a new vision for a post-modern world. | |||
