Why Europe took the lead in getting out of involution?

Geographical determinism holds that with the disintegration of involution system, the open geographical pattern of the Mediterranean and barren land, western Europeans have returned to the Roman way of life, that is, migration, sailing, communication, trade and commerce. The geographical pattern of East Asia is that the east is the ocean, the west is the mountains, and the land in the middle is rich. The new rulers after the regime change can maintain a "highly balanced" farming rule as long as the civil service system is restored.

From farming culture to marine culture, from involution society to open economy, it is the switch of human survival mode-from planning to trading, from quantity economy to efficiency economy, from stock competition to incremental creation.

The Netherlands, Britain, the United States and other marine cultural countries took the lead in getting rid of the involution society. France and Germany are more difficult. France has developed agriculture and rich farming culture. After the cruel baptism of the French Revolution, it finally entered the marine civilization. Germany was originally a serfdom country, and it took two catastrophes to get on the right path. For developing countries, openness is the simplest and rudest way to break involution.

The influence of involution on us

Kenichi Ohmae, a famous Japanese writer, wrote a book "Low Desire Society" a few years ago, in which he talked about the "involution" that began to appear after Japan's economic growth stagnated in recent ten years. Young people don't want to live in a big house, drive a good car, buy a new mobile phone and so on. Luxury brands that used to sell well in Japan are rarely visited now, while cheap brands such as Uniqlo are becoming more and more popular among the public.

In 2065438+2008, we also broke up, and applied the theory of storage to the extreme, which improved the utilization rate of space. Not only have no desire for material things, but also have no requirements for getting ahead. In Japan today, the desire for promotion is less than 10%, and more than 30% of people live alone.

Things as simple as tea ceremony and flower path have been exaggerated and can be seen everywhere in Japan today. Therefore, in an involution society, you should learn to give meaning to mechanical repetitive work. For example, if you are a deliveryman, you should think of serving better human life, being a city cleaner and contributing to the human environment. In short, you should constantly improve the meaning of your work, the nobler the better.
