網絡泡沫高峰

矽谷集體妄想 (2000)

2000年3月10日。納斯達克達5,048。Pets.com 有超級碗廣告。Webvan 將會革新雜貨配送。每個商業計劃以『喺互聯網上』結束然後獲得資金。內部清晰(我哋理解技術、網絡效應、可能性)同外部運動(爆炸性增長、IPO、大規模擴展)。呢個係豐盛。所有人都係天才。王照亮同令天下所有嘢高興。但 Wilhelm 嘅警告建入卦入面:呢個非凡條件唔能永久維持。高峰暗示必須跟隨衰退。唔係因為技術係假——互聯網係真——而係因為豐盛達到不可持續水平。正午嘅太陽係佢去得咁高;下一步係向下。到2002年,大多數網絡公司死咗。但呢度係嘢:理解豐盛作為暫時、喺繁榮期間建真實基建、唔將高峰條件誤認為永久狀態嘅人——佢哋生存咗。Amazon、Google、eBay。雷同閃電一齊:豐盛,但都係關於實際建緊乜嘅清晰判斷嘅必要性。

Historical Context

Period
周代
Oracle Bone Etymology
火(☲)坐下,雷(☳)坐上——內部清晰,外部運動。
Traditional Use
Wilhelm 描述豐盛作為文明嘅高峰——先進文化、偉大成就。但佢立即警告:呢個條件簡短。聖人可能感到關於不可避免衰退悲傷但唔得俾嗰悲傷主導。好似正午嘅太陽。

Practical Guidance

高峰條件。所有嘢運作緊。指標好,資金喺度,團隊有生產力,市場接受。呢個係豐盛。 經典文本嘅警告唔係『唔好慶祝成功。』係『理解高峰之前係山谷。』2000年3月10日。納斯達克達5,048。Pets.com 有超級碗廣告。每個以『喺互聯網上』結束嘅商業計劃獲得資金。網絡繁榮係真正豐盛——真正技術創新、實際開放緊嘅可能性。但當人開始相信豐盛係新正常,當每個愚蠢想法獲得資金——嗰時崩潰變成不可避免。 正午嘅太陽:內在唔受關於不可避免衰退嘅悲傷。呢個唔係指假裝衰退唔會發生。佢意味住:唔好俾關於未來衰退嘅焦慮毀咗現在豐盛。用清晰條件建真實嘢。Amazon 用繁榮建配送基建。Google 用佢精煉搜索算法。佢哋冇假裝繁榮會永遠持續,但佢哋都冇浪費豐盛。 呢度你喺豐盛時期嘅任務:建將生存衰退嘅基礎。用清晰光睇實際真實嘅係乜 vs 泡沫動態係乜。用能量完成重要嘅嘢。文本話:折獄致刑。呢個係決定性行動嘅時間。用清晰確切咁調查。用動力執行你發現嘅嘢。 危險係傲慢。第六爻:遮掩你嘅家,透過閘門窺視見唔到人。喺佢哋自己想像嘅偉大入面變孤立嘅人當條件改變時失去所有嘢。Pets.com 喺超級碗廣告花數百萬。Webvan 為即時雜貨配送建大規模基建。兩樣都崩潰因為佢哋將高峰市場條件誤認為可持續商業模式。 豐盛係暫時。你喺豐盛期間做嘅工作可以係永久。用資源當你有佢哋時。建將會重要嘅基建。但唔好將非凡條件同正常操作混淆。正午嘅太陽會朝下午移動。嗰唔係悲傷——只係模式。相應咁建。
