[此处应插入4K修复张惠妹98版 – 原来你什么都不想要]
张惠妹神曲可是太多了，现场也很无敌。
新生代再也找不出来这样的了。啊，也不是，Dua Lipa有点类似，音色有些地方其实有点像的，比如中低音区和烟熏质感。
最近我都在听Dua Lipa，没啥别的理由，就是需要听点气血足的。
扯远了，回归今天的主题。
前两天和同事吃饭，我们聊到了一个喜闻乐见的话题：如果你突然中了彩票，或者继承了巨额遗产，总而言之就是一夜暴富吧，你会做点什么？
有一位同事很直接，豪宅什么的就不说了，她说要雇很多佣人- 一个做司机，一个做园丁，一个做厨师，一个清理房间洗衣服等等等等，她的手指头不会再做任何一丁点家务活了。
我说按我司的收入，现在转去印度，就能过上这样的生活。不用非得等一夜暴富。
又有同事补充说明，不仅仅是印度，乌干达也可以。
Anyway发散之后，讨论主要分为两派，一派是想要佣人的，一派是不想要佣人的。我是属于后者，就算我变得超超超有钱，也并不想任何人24小时待命伺候我。
补充说明，我并不拒绝使用任何服务。比如我现在也会叫家政来打扫，会点外卖，出门也会打车。
我并不拒绝花钱购买服务这件事儿，但我并不想拥有任何人的“所有权”，就是ownership。我甚至会觉得这种关于具体某一个人的“所有权”会带给我额外的压力和负担。
对于家政工作人来说，打扫卫生是他的工作，他付出了N个小时的劳动，从我这里获取了N个小时劳动的报酬，十分合理。我并不觉得在这一系列行为当中，自己的需求凌驾于他人之上。
对应的，想要这种“所有权”的人其实是想让自己的需求永远有最高的优先级，没有延迟没有理由立刻被处理。或者说，他们其实希望自己可以对别人的时间有100%的控制权。
另外一个很有意思的观察，第一类人坚信第二类人（号称）不想要这种生活方式是因为现在还没有那么多钱-即贫瘠的现实生活不足以支撑我们的想象，或者我们为了zz正确不承认自己想要佣人。他们认定大家跟他们都是一样的，只是嘴上不承认。而第二类人认为两种观点都合理，没有谁对谁错，只是不同而已。
午饭吃完，话题转入公司裁员的小道消息，今天的人类观察又结束了。
[中了彩票之后干点什么]这种正能量的话题确实可以慰藉牛马们疲惫的内心。
我自然也是想过很多遍到底要干点什么，大部分想做的事情其实今时今日就可以做，不用非得等到中了彩票再去做。只有非常少数终极目标才需要大量的金钱来支撑，比如说自由。
[此处应插入Freedom – 被解放的姜戈BGM]
自由是什么呢，不用考虑过于深刻的哲学问题，我认为自由就是在时间和空间上有选择的能力。
有些人或许认为拥有的事物越多，可以选择的区间就更宽广，就更自由。
我的观点恰好相反，如果不考虑时间，只考虑空间，拥有的事物越多，你需要维护整理这些人和事所耗费的精力就越多，你的自由时间就越来越少，换句话说，你就越不自由。
如果把生活当做一种算法，当你的参数越少算法就越容易执行，短短几个if else跑完就可以得出结论。
当你拥有的东西越来越多，也就意味着参数越来越复杂，运算时间越来越久，也许算法执行到一半就会卡住，或者某些参数纠缠到一起陷入死循环。年纪大了精力下降，还会面临算力不足的困境。
综上，优化后的公式应该是：
终极自由=>(没有空间限制∧没有时间限制∧没有健康困扰)
超超超级多的钱可以对三个条件增强。
今天的白日梦先做到这里，周末愉快。
A-mei has so many hit songs, and her live performances are unbeatable.
The new generation can’t find anyone like her. Ah, no, Dua Lipa is somewhat similar; the timbre is actually quite similar in some areas, such as the mid-low range and the smoky texture.
Lately, I’ve been listening to Dua Lipa a lot. No particular reason, just need to hear something with a strong, energetic feel.
But I digress. Back to today’s topic.
The other day, I was having lunch with colleagues, and we talked about a very common topic: If you suddenly won the lottery or inherited a big fortune—basically, became rich overnight—what would you do?
One colleague was very direct. Leaving aside the mansion, she said she would hire many servants—one as a driver, one as a gardener, one as a cook, one to clean the rooms and do the laundry, etc., etc. Her fingers would never do any housework again.
I said that with our company’s income, we could live that kind of life if moved to India now. we don’t need to wait to become rich overnight.
A colleague added that it’s not just India, Uganda is also an option.
Anyway, after this digression, the discussion mainly fell into two camps: one wanted servants, and the other didn’t. I belong to the latter. Even if I became incredibly wealthy, I wouldn’t want anyone on call 24/7 to serve me.
To clarify, I don’t refuse to use any services. For example, I now hire housekeeping, order takeout, and take taxis, etc.
I don’t refuse to pay for services, but I don’t want to have any “ownership” of anyone. I even feel that this kind of “ownership” of a specific person would bring me additional pressure and burden.
For the e.g. cleaning ladies, cleaning is their job; they put in N hours of labor and receive N hours’ worth of payment from me, which is perfectly reasonable. I don’t feel that my needs supersede those of others in this whole process.
Correspondingly, those who desire this kind of “ownership” actually want their needs to always have the highest priority, to be processed immediately without delay or reason. In other words, they want 100% control over other people’s time.
Another interesting observation is that the first group firmly believes the second group (who claim to) not want this lifestyle because they don’t currently have enough money—that is, their impoverished reality cannot support their imagination, or they deny wanting servants for political correctness. They assume everyone is the same as them, just not admitting it. The second group, however, believes both viewpoints are reasonable; neither is right or wrong, just different.
After lunch, the conversation shifted to rumors of company layoffs, and today’s human observation came to an end.
[What to do after winning the lottery] Such positive topics can indeed soothe the weary hearts of ordinary people.
I, of course, have thought many times about what to do. Most things I want to do can be done today; I don’t have to wait until I win the lottery. Only a very few ultimate goals require a large amount of money, such as freedom.
[Freedom – Django Unchained BGM should be inserted here]
What is freedom? Without delving into profound philosophical questions, I believe freedom is the ability to choose in time and space.
Some might think that the more things you own, the wider your range of choices, and the more freedom you have.
My view is exactly the opposite. If we disregard time and only consider space, the more things you own, the more energy you need to maintain and manage these people and things, and the less free time you have. In other words, the less free you are.
If we consider life as an algorithm, the fewer parameters you have, the easier the algorithm is to execute; a few if-else statements can complete the process and arrive at a conclusion.
As you own more and more, it means the parameters become more complex, the computation time becomes longer, and the algorithm might get stuck halfway through execution, or some parameters might become entangled and enter an infinite loop. With age and declining energy, you also face the dilemma of insufficient computing power.
In summary, the optimized formula should be:
Ultimate Freedom => (No spatial limitations ∧ No time limitations ∧ No health problems)
A super-duper amount of money can enhance all three conditions. That’s enough daydreaming for today. Have a great weekend.
