Involution is originally a sociological term, which originally refers to a high-level phenomenon that a cultural model cannot be stabilized or transformed into a new form after reaching a certain final form, but can only become more complicated internally.
Through the Internet, many college students use it to refer to irrational internal competition or "voluntary" competition. Now it refers to the phenomenon that peers compete for limited resources and make more efforts, which leads to the decline of individual "income-effort ratio", which can be regarded as "inflation" of efforts.
In fact, involution is a distinctive derogatory term, compared with traditional derogatory terms. The involution seems to have a meaning of "struggle" in it, but this meaning has a very unhealthy interest competition relationship.
Implication deviation of involution
When the concept of "involution" is used, its original meaning will shift. We can see that the communicators of popular words have the concept of * * * enjoyment, which enables them to perceive the consistency of internal state. The reason for this result is that one of the ways to realize the enjoyment of reality is to adjust your own angle and make it close to others. Everyone has a gregarious motivation. The stronger this motivation is, the more he will adjust his point of view according to other people's point of view in order to gain a sense of reality.
Most of the time, people don't go into the extent to which this kind of * * * enjoys the reality, but in fact, it is difficult to make an objective judgment based on personal subjective feelings. Therefore, the stronger the sense of reality, the more likely it is to stimulate and enhance people's empathy. The more individuals agree with the existence and unsurpassability of involution, the more they will enter the state of involution, thus objectively strengthening this reality.
