How to explain the meaning of involution in an easy-to-understand way?

Generally speaking,? Involution? It means that people with strong competitiveness, instead of exploring new fields and developing in depth, retreat in the known security fortress and compete with those with weak competitiveness for limited resources, which eventually leads to vicious competition and irrational competition. In the end, no one can get well.

In fact, after reading the above explanation, I believe everyone is right? Involution? This word has a certain understanding. In order to deepen this understanding, let's list some common antithesis phenomena in life.

First, explain the inner volume with the joint exam in a popular way. Let's take a school as an example.

For example, a person who scored 600 points in the college entrance examination should enter the university according to the normal development track and compete with other college students. But he felt that he was not competitive enough among college students, so he decided to go back to senior three for a year to compete with those younger brothers and sisters.

In this way, the competition pressure of freshmen in senior three is even greater.

This is a kind of? Involution? .

Second, popularly use popularization to explain the involution, and give an example at work.

Xiao Liu, a senior salesman in a fourth-tier city, the manager thinks his business ability is quite good. If he continues to stay here, he will be a little overqualified and put a lot of pressure on other colleagues, so he asked him: Xiao Liu, would you like to be promoted to the department head of the second-tier city branch next door? ?

But Xiao Liu said, No, manager. I think the work pressure in second-tier cities is too great. I prefer the present working atmosphere. ?

Although Xiao Liu refused, the manager will give priority to him every time there is a promotion opportunity in the future, which directly leads to those colleagues who want to be promoted out of thin air losing a promotion quota.

This is also an involution.

Thirdly, it is popular to explain involution by cultivating immortals, taking fantasy novel as an example.

The monk of a period, according to the novel setting, was supposed to be a fairy, but because he was afraid of being hacked to death, he decided not to stay on earth and bully the children of that period, pretending to be forced in front of his little brother in Yuan Ying's period. And he searched everywhere for natural resources in order to extract something that would improve his success rate in Du Jie? God, Du Jie Dan? .

Therefore, other normal Du Jie periods are more difficult for Du Jie.

This is also an involution.
