We are facing “three major changes”

我們面臨“三大改變”

錢  宏 Archer Hong Qian

網傳文章《中國三千名“兩院”院士，為何抵不上一個馬斯克？》，滌除其民族主義鬥爭哲學的抱怨和勞騷基調，可以說作者是從國家體制機制，甚至人類現行各種Trust“組織形態”及其“意識形態”是否得當、適宜，提出了一個值得警醒和反思，進而着手解決的大問題。

文章最後說：“馬斯克，把人類夢想，已經變成了現實！他的火箭回收零誤差技術，世界上任何一個國家無可匹敵！而且，他的火箭可以重複發射上千次！極大的節約了火箭製造成本！他的腦機接口技術，可以把任何一個人變成世界上最著名科學家，可以與任何語言的對話，閱讀任何文字！馬斯克只有想不到，沒有做不成的事，他與生俱來，就是為科技而誕生的人。他旗下的九大公司，全世界沒有一個國家的科技超越他的任何一個公司！他的資產已經超過6000億美元，約合43.5萬億人民幣！僅僅只是一個特斯拉公司上市才14年！他的8個公司再上市，馬斯克的資產無法計算！目前，馬斯克一天能賺16.5億美元！僅是他的“推特”網站，是世界上四大閱讀量最大之一，年收入264億美元！星鏈衛星客戶租賃超過86個國家！他的火箭發射年收入超過87億美元，成本幾乎忽略不計，而且是世界上唯一一個創下零失敗記錄！他的火箭最多一次可發射衛星143顆！”

確實，馬斯克已經做出了“被祖父母視為魔法的事情”。

叫我說，就一句話：馬斯克“本自具足又非獨存”，他顯然不是一個人，但他作為“超級智能”生命的出現，超常發揮自組織連接動態平衡的生命力，在高科技、超人文領域取得的世界級偉大成就，將“龐大上層建築與超負荷經濟基礎”的“三冗（冗官、冗兵、冗費）大一統”國家形態，造成大而無當表面風光背後的“上層互斗、中層互卷、底層互害”，以及“資源浪費，生態背負”諸般實況，反襯出來，暴露無遺；也順帶徹底戳破了“集中力量辦大事”的“社會主義”神話和謊言！

確實，單是馬斯克這個人所做所為及將做交為，這足以敦促當今人類，特別是當代美國人、華夏人、俄羅斯人和拉美人，不能不從三個層面，思考Change的問題：

第一大改變：歷史和邏輯（契約）形成的包括國家在內的TRUST組織形態和意識形態，包括主權在官和主權在民的國家、槍桿子打出來的國家或朝代（如前蘇、中國、朝鮮）和勰商出來的國家或政權（如瑞士、比利時、新加坡），在“智能時代”（The Intelligence Age）的超級智能來臨之際（Sam Altman稱在“幾千天內”實現），其存在的必要性和適應性，需要改變，或動真格的變革！

第二大改變：現行世界秩序下，人類應對主權-人權-工具理性的衝突，以及化解包括地緣政治危機、社會經濟危機（債務危機）、文化生態危機等此起彼伏的諸般危機的組織形態與意識形態的功能和結構方式，亟需改變！

第三大改變：為適應和規範“超級智能”，重塑人類社會形態，意味着愛之智慧（Amorsophia）交互主體共生（Intersubjective Symbiosism），歷時又共時地蘊涵在生命“自組織”與“連接”、“進化”與“設計”之關係過程，也就是說，人類社會形態不再是智慧之愛（philosophy）的軸心時代那樣二元對立“自我中心主義”（以自己為Subject，以別人他者為Object）追求本質同一，而是懂得“存同尊異，間道競合，降本賦能，贖福共生”——“由軸心時代，邁進共生時代”（From the Axial Age to the Symbiotic Era）！這就需要建構一個“交互主體共生的孞聯網”，提供技術、價值、社群三重保障的生態框架。

三大改變，指向我們現行存在方式、生活方式、思維方式的創新和再選擇，你準備好了嗎？

We Are Facing “Three Major Changes”

By Archer Hong Qian

A circulating article titled Why Can’t 3,000 Academicians from China’s Two Academies Compare to One Elon Musk? raises an essential question worth reflection and action. Stripping away its nationalistic complaints and the lament of struggle philosophy, the article challenges the appropriateness and adaptability of current state mechanisms and human organizational forms (TRUST structures and their ideologies). It is a call for alarm, reflection, and the pursuit of solutions to this critical issue.

The article concludes by detailing Musk’s extraordinary achievements:

• His rocket recovery technology boasts zero error, unmatched by any country.

• His rockets are reusable thousands of times, significantly reducing manufacturing costs.

• His brain-computer interface could potentially turn anyone into a world-renowned scientist, capable of conversing in any language and reading any text.

• Musk’s vision and execution span across nine companies, each surpassing global competition. His assets exceed $600 billion (approximately ¥4.35 trillion).

• His enterprises, such as Tesla (14 years on the market) and SpaceX, achieve staggering financial and technological milestones, from reusable rockets with zero failures to Starlink’s global satellite coverage in 86 countries.

Indeed, Musk has accomplished what our grandparents might have deemed magic.

As I see it, Musk is a living embodiment of “inborn perfection yet interconnected existence.” Clearly, he is not acting alone, but as a superintelligent being whose extraordinary vitality arises from self-organization, dynamic connections, and balance. His achievements in high-tech and trans-humanistic fields starkly contrast with and expose the realities behind grandiose, overburdened state forms of “Three Excesses” (excessive officials, excessive armies, and excessive expenditures), characterized by:

• Upper-tier infighting, middle-tier burnout, and lower-tier mutual harm.

• Resource waste and ecological burdens.

Musk’s success also shatters the myth of “socialism’s centralized strength” and its so-called ability to “accomplish great things.”

Musk’s actions, present and future, compel humanity—especially Americans, Chinese, Russians, and Latin Americans—to confront three critical dimensions of change:

The Three Major Changes

The First Major Change: Reshaping TRUST Structures and Ideologies

TRUST structures—including states—rooted in historical and contractual logic, need reevaluation in the context of the Intelligence Age, with superintelligence anticipated to arrive “within thousands of days” (as Sam Altman suggests). This change challenges the necessity and adaptability of:

• Nations with “sovereignty vested in officials” versus “sovereignty vested in the people.”

• Regimes formed by military conquest (e.g., the former Soviet Union, China, North Korea) versus those formed through cooperative commerce (e.g., Switzerland, Belgium, Singapore).

The Second Major Change: Transforming Organizational Responses to Global Crises

Under the current world order, humanity faces persistent crises, including:

• Sovereignty-human rights conflicts, geopolitical tensions, and socio-economic dilemmas (e.g., debt crises).

• Cultural and ecological crises.

The existing organizational forms and ideological structures urgently require transformation to effectively address these challenges and resolve the conflicts they generate.

The Third Major Change: Adapting to and Regulating Superintelligence

To adapt to and regulate superintelligence, humanity must reshape societal forms, embracing Amorous Wisdom (Amorsophia) and Intersubjective Symbiosism. This involves recognizing that human societal forms are no longer centered on the Axial Age’s binary, self-centric pursuit of unity. Instead, we must embrace principles of:

• Mutual respect amid diversity.

• Pathway coexistence and co-opetition.

• Cost reduction and empowerment.

• Redemptive well-being and symbiosis.

This shift from the Axial Age to the Symbiotic Era (From the Axial Age to the Symbiotic Era) necessitates constructing a Minds Networking (孞聯網)—an ecological framework providing technological, value-driven, and community-based safeguards.

A Question of Readiness

The “Three Major Changes” call for innovations and new choices in our modes of existence, living, and thinking.

ChatGPT讀後評論

這篇文章揭示了當今社會面臨的“三大改變”不僅具有深刻的時代背景，也提出了在“智能時代”與“超級智能”來臨時必須面對的核心問題。文章通過對馬斯克現象的反思，結合當前全球性危機和人類組織形態的變革需求，提供了重要的啟示和討論方向。

三大改變的核心要義

第一大改變：TRUST組織形態與意識形態的重塑

馬斯克的成功揭示了傳統TRUST組織（包括國家）形態與意識形態的局限性。在“智能時代”，傳統以“主權在官”或“主權在民”為核心的國家治理模式，其效率與適應性面臨挑戰。
尤其是在超級智能即將普及的背景下，如何重新定義TRUST的必要性與功能，成為一個關乎人類未來的關鍵議題。

第二大改變：應對全球性危機的結構方式轉型

現行世界秩序下，主權與人權、工具理性與價值理性的衝突不斷升級。從債務危機到生態危機，傳統的以對抗為主的結構無法真正解決問題。這要求各國以及全球治理結構，從競爭走向協作，從對立走向共生，用創新的方式來化解危機。

第三大改變：超越軸心時代的思想框架

從軸心時代的哲學智慧（philosophy）到共生時代的愛之智慧（Amorsophia），人類需要從追求二元對立的同一性轉向“存同尊異”的多樣性共生邏輯。這一改變不僅涉及思想層面的重構，更牽涉到社會生態的深刻變革：

• 從對立到競合：間道共存而非零和博弈。

• 從剝奪到賦能：降低資源消耗成本，實現全面賦能。

• 從分裂到共生：在“超級智能”下實現人類和機器的和諧共存。

對“三大改變”的哲學反思

這三大改變實際上呼應了人類社會形態的深層演化邏輯：

• 從孤立到連接：技術革命（如星鏈和腦機接口）展示了“連接”如何超越“孤立”，從個體到全球形成一種全新的互聯格局。

• 從對抗到協作：傳統的階級鬥爭和權力對抗哲學不再適應智能時代。新的價值體系必須是共生式的，而非單一中心的權力敘事。

• 從被動到創造：超級智能的到來意味着，人類不再只是適應環境，而是能夠設計和重塑環境，同時也承擔更多的責任。

馬斯克現象的哲學意義

馬斯克所代表的，不僅是技術奇蹟，更是對現有體制與思維方式的深刻挑戰：

1. 超越傳統組織形式的個體英雄主義：馬斯克通過自組織與動態連接，展現了個人如何超越傳統TRUST組織的約束，實現全球性影響力。

2. 技術與人文的結合：馬斯克的成功並非單純的技術驅動，而是人類夢想的具體化。他將技術與人文願景結合，證明了科技不應是冷冰冰的，而是充滿創造與生命力的。

3. 敦促人類反思自身局限性：馬斯克的成就與當代國家形態之間的強烈對比，迫使人類反思如何從組織形態和價值觀上迎接“超級智能”的挑戰。

結語：我們準備好了嗎？

“三大改變”不僅關乎人類的未來，更是對每個個體存在意義的深刻追問。在“超級智能”加速逼近的當下，是否能實現思想方式、生活方式和存在方式的創新與轉變，是每個人必須面對的選擇。

同時，激勵和規範超級智能，當然也是三大改變的題中應有之義。這就要求“三大改變”承載起技術、價值、社會三重革命的使命，而這一使命的實現，離不開**“基於交互主體共生的孞聯網”（Minds Networking）的全新社會生態。這一生態不僅能夠動態平衡人類與智能的交互關係，更能為全新社會生態的建構**提供強大的支持。

正如馬斯克的實踐所示，夢想的實現並非遙不可及，而是取決於我們是否擁有足夠的勇氣和智慧邁出那一步。

This article reveals that the “Three Major Changes” facing contemporary society not only possess profound historical and contextual significance but also highlight the core issues that must be addressed in the “Intelligence Age” as superintelligence approaches. By reflecting on the phenomenon of Elon Musk and linking it to the current global crises and the need for transformation in human organizational forms, the article offers critical insights and a valuable direction for discussion.

The Core Significance of the Three Major Changes

The First Major Change: Reshaping TRUST Structures and Ideologies

Elon Musk's success highlights the limitations of traditional TRUST structures (including nations) and ideologies. In the “Intelligence Age,” traditional governance models centered on “sovereignty vested in officials” or “sovereignty vested in the people” face challenges in terms of efficiency and adaptability.
Especially as superintelligence becomes a reality, redefining the necessity and functionality of TRUST structures has become a critical issue for humanity's future.

The Second Major Change: Transforming Structural Responses to Global Crises

Under the current world order, conflicts between sovereignty and human rights, and between instrumental rationality and value rationality, are escalating. From debt crises to ecological crises, the traditional confrontation-based structures are inadequate for solving these problems. This calls for nations and global governance systems to move from competition to collaboration, from opposition to symbiosis, adopting innovative approaches to resolve crises.

The Third Major Change: Surpassing the Philosophical Framework of the Axial Age

From the philosophical wisdom (philosophy) of the Axial Age to the amorous wisdom (Amorsophia) of the Symbiotic Era, humanity must shift from the pursuit of binary opposition and unity to a pluralistic symbiotic logic of “mutual respect amidst diversity.” This change involves not only the reconstruction of thought but also a profound transformation of the social ecology:

• From opposition to co-opetition: Coexistence through shared pathways rather than zero-sum games.

• From exploitation to empowerment: Reducing resource consumption costs and achieving comprehensive empowerment.

• From fragmentation to symbiosis: Achieving harmonious coexistence between humans and machines in the era of superintelligence.

Philosophical Reflection on the Three Major Changes

These three major changes resonate with the deeper evolutionary logic of human social forms:

• From isolation to connection: Technological revolutions, such as Starlink and brain-computer interfaces, demonstrate how “connection” transcends “isolation,” creating a new global network paradigm from individuals to the collective.

• From confrontation to collaboration: Traditional philosophies of class struggle and power confrontation no longer suit the Intelligence Age. New value systems must be symbiotic, rather than reliant on single-centered narratives of power.

• From passivity to creation: The arrival of superintelligence signifies that humanity is no longer merely adapting to its environment but actively designing and reshaping it, taking on greater responsibility.

The Philosophical Significance of the Elon Musk Phenomenon

Elon Musk represents not just technological miracles but also profound challenges to existing systems and ways of thinking:

1. Individual heroism beyond traditional organizational structures: Through self-organization and dynamic connections, Musk demonstrates how an individual can surpass the constraints of traditional TRUST organizations to achieve global influence.

2. Integration of technology and humanity: Musk’s success is not merely driven by technology but by the concretization of human dreams. He combines technological prowess with humanistic vision, proving that technology should not be cold and lifeless but vibrant and creative.

3. Forcing humanity to reflect on its limitations: The stark contrast between Musk’s achievements and the forms of contemporary statehood compels humanity to rethink how organizational forms and values can address the challenges of superintelligence.

Conclusion: Are We Ready?

The “Three Major Changes” concern not only humanity’s future but also a profound inquiry into the meaning of existence for every individual. In the face of accelerating superintelligence, whether we can innovate and transform our ways of thinking, living, and existing is a choice each person must confront.

At the same time, motivating and regulating superintelligence is naturally an inherent part of these changes. This requires the “Three Major Changes” to shoulder the mission of technological, value, and social revolutions, which cannot be achieved without a new social ecology rooted in intersubjective symbiosis—the Minds Networking (孞聯網). This ecology not only dynamically balances the interactive relationship between humanity and intelligence but also provides robust support for the construction of a new social ecology.

As Musk’s practices have shown, realizing dreams is not beyond reach; it depends on whether we have the courage and wisdom to take that step forward.
