Competition in all walks of life is fierce. How to explain involution in a popular way?

The popular meaning of involution is actually very simple. Not an incremental market, but a stock market. In this case, more people will join, and the competition will be extremely fierce. As a result, only a few people make money, or none at all. The fixed total amount of resources makes everyone's efforts far exceed the efforts needed. Generally speaking, people will inadvertently fall into unnecessary competition, and the result of this competition is: most lose and a few win.

What exactly is involution?

We know that the outside world is infinite, the outside world is great, with many opportunities, rich resources and great possibilities, so the evolution of outward evolution must have unlimited possibilities and unlimited development space. The inward evolution of involution, there is something inside, no matter how hard you try, you can't break through. Just like screwing a screw, no matter how hard it is, it will eventually get stuck, so the inner roll will inevitably become narrower and narrower. Early involution is not a derogatory term, but a development direction opposite to evolution. Involution is just the antonym of evolution. At that time, people thought that the result of involution was not necessarily bad.

Involution refers to the phenomenon that the social and cultural model stagnates or cannot be transformed into another advanced model after reaching a certain stage. This concept was originally used to study rice agriculture in Java. In colonial and post-colonial Java, agricultural production has not moved for a long time, and it has not developed, but is simply repeated reproduction. Can not improve the unit per capita output value. As can be seen from Schultz's definition, involution refers to the phenomenon that the development mode of social economy and culture stops or cannot be transformed into a higher mode after reaching a certain form at a certain stage. This concept is called the opening and closing of China involution.

How to change the involution?

Only industrial technology upgrading and external quantity can solve the problem of internal quantity, which is equivalent to more resources and market entry. Moreover, the influence of internal circulation is that from the initial commercial stage, the ratio of success to failure is 5/5, and in the later stage, 80% will fail and 20% will succeed. After a while, only 2% will succeed and 98% will fail.
