无限富裕场与周期性崩塌
——现代社会如何系统性释放欲望
导言｜不是贪婪失控，而是终点消失
When desire accelerates, it is rarely because humans have changed —
it is because institutions have removed the endpoint.
当传统戒律退出历史舞台，而现代制度拒绝设定终点，
欲望第一次进入“无边界运行”状态。
Traditional moral ceilings have collapsed, while modern systems refuse to define limits.
Desire enters an unbounded operational regime.
问题不是人类变坏了，
而是文明不再告诉人：到此为止。
The problem is not human corruption —
it is civilizational silence.
一、欲望从未改变，改变的是“截断机制”
Human desire has not evolved.
Institutional interruption has disappeared.
饿了要吃饭，
吃饱要伴侣，
有家庭要安全，
有安全要地位，
有地位要更高位置，
最终要不朽。
This sequence is ancient.
真正改变的，是社会是否在某个节点强制结束这条链条。
What changed is whether society enforces termination.
传统文明有答案。
现代文明没有。
Traditional civilizations imposed limits.
Modern civilization does not.
二、传统文明的三重边界系统
Traditional societies operated three hard boundary systems:
1. 宗教｜逻辑终点
Religion provided termination logic.
不是劝人少要，
而是宣布继续追逐没有意义。
Not moderation — termination.
2. 伦理｜角色封闭
Ethics fixed identity roles.
人生目标被压缩进“本分完成”，
而非无限比较。
Life goals were bounded by role completion.
3. 等级｜比较裁剪
Hierarchy reduced comparison space.
它不公平，
但它阻断升级幻觉。
Unfair — but stabilizing.
结果不是幸福，而是心理稳定。
The result was not happiness, but equilibrium.
三、现代文明的根本转折：刹车系统整体拆除
Modern civilization removed all brakes.
取而代之的是四个互相放大的引擎：
Markets
Technology
Finance
Algorithms
Each amplifying the others.
市场只问支付能力。
技术降低升级摩擦。
金融把未来提前兑现。
算法持续刺激横向比较。
Markets ask affordability.
Technology lowers upgrade friction.
Finance pulls future consumption forward.
Algorithms weaponize comparison.
欲望第一次成为合法理性行为。
Desire becomes rationalized.
四、“无限富裕场”的诞生
This produces a new civilizational condition:
生存容易
升级无限
比较持续
终点缺失
Easy survival.
Infinite upgrading.
Constant comparison.
Undefined endpoints.
这不是极端富裕，
而是基础供给高度稳定。
Not luxury — infrastructural abundance.
物流解决生存。
算法制造焦虑。
Logistics sustain life.
Algorithms destabilize identity.
五、经济周期成为替代性戒律
With no moral braking system, civilization invents crashes.
金融危机不是偶然，
是系统校准。
Financial crises are not failures — they are recalibration mechanisms.
现代社会用周期性崩塌，替代宗教惩戒。
Collapse replaces commandments.
六、周期的真实功能
Crash temporarily removes:
未来透支权
身份升级路径
比较资本
Future leverage.
Identity escalation.
Comparison currency.
社会被迫回归现实边界。
Society is forced back into reality constraints.
这正是传统文明持续维持的状态。
Exactly what traditional systems enforced permanently.
七、为什么只能“硬着陆”
Why soft braking is impossible:
国家怕衰退。
资本怕紧缩。
选民怕降级。
States fear recession.
Capital fears tightening.
Voters fear downgrade.
所有温和方案都会在博弈中被否决。
All moderate brakes fail politically.
于是系统选择：
拖到极限
一次性清算
Delay until limit.
Then purge.
八、记忆无法长期保存
Every generation learns.
Every system forgets.
技术进步 + 金融放松 + 算法刺激
持续侵蚀风险意识。
Innovation dissolves restraint.
九、个体不是主语
Individuals are not agents.
真正的主语是：
Market × Technology × Finance × Algorithm
The system is the subject.
人只是承载体。
Humans are carriers.
十、真正的自由指标：生存冗余
The only real freedom:
在繁荣期不押光未来
在下行期保住底座
Do not mortgage survival during booms.
Protect baseline during downturns.
这是现代文明中罕见的主权能力。
This is rare sovereignty.
制度余响｜文明尚未学会温和刹车
传统文明用信仰管理欲望。
现代文明用崩溃校准欲望。
Ancient systems used belief.
Modern systems use collapse.
前者粗糙但连续。
后者理性却残酷。
Crude continuity versus rational brutality.
这是一个尚未学会温和刹车的文明，
为自身结构付出的代价。
A civilization that cannot brake gently
pays in cycles.
