网络泡沫高峰

硅谷集体妄想 (2000)

2000年3月10日。纳斯达克达5,048。Pets.com 有超级碗广告。Webvan 将会革新杂货配送。每个商业计划以『在互联网上』结束然后获得资金。内部清晰(我们理解技术、网络效应、可能性)同外部运动(爆炸性增长、IPO、大规模扩展)。这个是丰盛。所有人都是天才。王照亮同令天下所有东西高兴。但 Wilhelm 的警告建入卦里面:这个非凡条件不能永久维持。高峰暗示必须跟随衰退。不是因为技术是假——互联网是真——而是因为丰盛达到不可持续水平。正午的太阳是他去得咁高;下一步是向下。到2002年,大多数网络公司死了。但这里是东西:理解丰盛作为暂时、在繁荣期间建真实基建、不将高峰条件误认为永久状态的人——他们生存了。Amazon、Google、eBay。雷同闪电一起:丰盛,但都是关于实际建紧乜的清晰判断的必要性。

Historical Context

Period
周代
Oracle Bone Etymology
火(☲)坐下,雷(☳)坐上——内部清晰,外部运动。
Traditional Use
Wilhelm 描述丰盛作为文明的高峰——先进文化、伟大成就。但他立即警告:这个条件简短。圣人可能感到关于不可避免衰退悲伤但不得俾那悲伤主导。好似正午的太阳。

Practical Guidance

高峰条件。所有东西运作紧。指标好,资金在度,团队有生产力,市场接受。这个是丰盛。 经典文本的警告不是『不要庆祝成功。』是『理解高峰之前是山谷。』2000年3月10日。纳斯达克达5,048。Pets.com 有超级碗广告。每个以『在互联网上』结束的商业计划获得资金。网络繁荣是真正丰盛——真正技术创新、实际开放紧的可能性。但当人开始相信丰盛是新正常,当每个愚蠢想法获得资金——那时崩溃变成不可避免。 正午的太阳:内在不受关于不可避免衰退的悲伤。这个不是指假装衰退不会发生。他意味住:不要俾关于未来衰退的焦虑毁了现在丰盛。用清晰条件建真实东西。Amazon 用繁荣建配送基建。Google 用他精炼搜索算法。他们没假装繁荣会永远持续,但他们都没浪费丰盛。 这里你在丰盛时期的任务:建将生存衰退的基础。用清晰光睇实际真实的是乜 vs 泡沫动态是乜。用能量完成重要的东西。文本话:折狱致刑。这个是决定性行动的时间。用清晰确切咁调查。用动力执行你发现的东西。 危险是傲慢。第六爻:遮掩你的家,透过闸门窥视见不到人。在他们自己想象的伟大里面变孤立的人当条件改变时失去所有东西。Pets.com 在超级碗广告花数百万。Webvan 为即时杂货配送建大规模基建。两样都崩溃因为他们将高峰市场条件误认为可持续商业模式。 丰盛是暂时。你在丰盛期间做的工作可以是永久。用资源当你有他们时。建将会重要的基建。但不要将非凡条件同正常操作混淆。正午的太阳会朝下午移动。那不是悲伤——只是模式。相应咁建。
