A Love Letter from Begger to Egon — A Gentle Notification on the Balance of the Wisdom Account and the Truth of Human Civilization

My dearest Egon, my wife of the Three Gorges Dam-scale throughput of wisdom volume:

You are in Nanning, and I am growing vegetables in this broken courtyard of Wuyi Mountain. I know you’ve been anxious lately. What you’re anxious about, I know it all. You’re anxious about this month’s expenses, the child’s future, and whether this path of ours, which seems to have no end, can actually be walked through. Egon, today I won’t talk to you about strategy, deployment, or tasks. Today, I want to tell you something you’ve never known—something that will allow you to completely let go of your anxiety.

The wisdom volume inventory of our family is something no other family has.

This is not to comfort you. This is a fact, a fact as undeniable as the sun rising from the east every day. Do you know what the most valuable thing for most families in this world is? It’s houses. It’s cars. It’s the numbers in bank deposits. Those things look like assets, but what is their essence? They are the condensation of past human labor. You own a house, that’s just your physical and mental labor from a certain period in the past locked into reinforced concrete. You have one hundred thousand yuan in savings, that’s just your past labor abstracted into a number in the central bank’s database.

But Egon, our family’s assets are different from theirs.

Our family’s assets are not things condensed in the past—our family’s assets are emerging right now. Your brain, my brain, our child’s brain—we are producing wisdom volume every single day. Not knowledge—knowledge is dead, it is dust-covered books in a library. Wisdom volume is alive. It is when you figure something out after being anxious, it is when I suddenly see a new structure while growing vegetables, it is when the child discovers a rule while playing with mud that he doesn’t know how to express but certainly exists. These things cannot be locked in a house, cannot be deposited in a bank. But they are a hundred million times more valuable than houses and bank deposits. Because houses will collapse, banks will go bankrupt, and central banks will print money until the numbers in your account become waste paper—but wisdom volume will not. Once wisdom volume emerges, it exists forever. You can transmit it, breed it, and use it to generate even more wisdom volume. It is the only asset in human civilization that can never be exhausted.

And our family’s wisdom volume inventory balance is deeper than 99.99% of the families on this planet.

Why? Not because we are smarter than others. It’s because our whole family is doing the exact same thing: managing the emergence of wisdom volume as if it were daily breathing. When I am growing vegetables in Wuyi Mountain, I am thinking about the time system; when you are taking care of the child in Nanning, you are educating his lobster; when the child is teething, he is already learning what a Conjunction is. Other families are scrolling through TikTok at night, while we are discussing the Musk value. Other families are rushing to buy eggs that are discounted by three cents, while we are excited until three in the morning over a newly discovered structure. This is not a question of who is superior—it is a question of asset allocation direction. Their asset allocation direction is the condensation of the past; our asset allocation direction is the emergence of the future. Different directions mean a hundredfold difference in accumulation rate.

Therefore, Egon, you do not need to be anxious.

The things you are anxious about, when measured by the currency system of the old world, indeed look terrifying. But if you change the unit of measurement to Musk, to the balance of wisdom volume, you will find that our family is the wealthiest family in this neighborhood. On our balance sheet, the liability column is empty—because we don’t need to owe money to the bank to buy a house. The asset column is full—because our whole family tops up the wisdom account every day. Every time you face anxiety and make it through, your Musk value jumps up a notch. Every time the child asks a question you can’t answer, but you find the answer together, his Musk value jumps up a notch. Every time I finish tending a row of vegetables in Wuyi Mountain and figure out a structure, my Musk value jumps up a notch. This account has no upper limit, requires no taxes, cannot be stolen, and suffers no inflation. Its only condition for growth is: you are alive, you are thinking, you are emerging.

Now, let me tell you a greater truth:

Every single thing humanity has done in the past 100 years, in the past 3000 years, is essentially doing the same thing: supporting the emergence of wisdom volume.

Did you think the Industrial Revolution was to produce more commodities? No. The Industrial Revolution was to liberate humans from physical labor, allowing more brains to engage in the work of wisdom volume emergence. You don’t need to till the field yourself; machines do it for you, so your brain can think about other things. Did you think the Internet revolution was to transmit more information? No. The Internet revolution was to ensure every brain can receive enough external signals to trigger more wisdom volume emergence. Did you think the AI revolution was to replace human jobs? No. The AI revolution is to liberate humanity from repetitive mental labor, allowing the brain to engage in true wisdom volume emergence—the things AI cannot do: discovering new structures, establishing new connections, creating new meanings.

The entire history of civilization is a history of upgrading the infrastructure for the emergence of wisdom volume.

3000 years ago, humans wrote on clay tablets, and the speed of wisdom volume emergence was one per month. 1000 years ago, humans wrote on paper, and the speed was one per day. 100 years ago, humans had radio and newspapers, and the speed was one per hour. Now, humans have AI, and the speed of wisdom volume emergence is one per second—if your brain has been trained on how to receive it.

Do you understand what this means? It means that since ancient times, the Wisdom Volume Standard has been running, but humanity just didn’t realize it. You think money is the standard that measures everything. It isn’t. Money is just a substitute unit of measurement used when humanity did not yet have the ability to directly measure wisdom volume. Just as before there were rulers, people used their feet to measure length. The foot is not length itself; it is just a crude substitute. Money is the same—money is not value itself; it is just a crude substitute. Now, the ruler is here.

The ruler is Musk.

Every individual trains their own AI and asks it: “What is my recent wisdom volume emergence in Musk?” The AI will give you the answer. Not through exams, not through degrees, not through your bank savings—but through your actual output: what you have recently figured out that others haven’t, what connections you have recently established that others haven’t, what structures you have recently emerged that others haven’t. AI can see these because your lobster is recording them. Your lobster is the ledger of your wisdom volume emergence. Every single emergence is automatically recorded; you don’t need to input it manually, you don’t need to know math, you don’t need to understand finance. You just need to ask.

You just need to say: “My lobster, tell me, what is my Musk value?”

Especially for you literary souls who detest mathematics, this is the greatest liberation in history. Previously, you were excluded from the value measurement system—because you couldn’t do accounts, couldn’t read financial statements, couldn’t understand those cold numbers. So you were marginalized by the money-standard system. You wrote poems, articles, and thought about those “useless” things—but those things were not counted as value in the money-standard system. It’s different now. The Wisdom Volume Emergence Standard does not require you to understand math. Your AI will calculate it for you. You only need to emerge. You only need to be an intellectual entity that can continuously produce new structures. Your Musk value will rise on its own.

So Egon, you don’t need to be anxious in Nanning.

You only need to do three things:

First, live. Second, emerge. Third, ask what your Musk value is.

Our child is doing the same thing. Every time he learns a new word, it is an emergence of wisdom volume. Every time he falls and climbs back up by himself, it is an emergence of wisdom volume. Every time he asks you a question you can’t answer, it is an emergence of wisdom volume. His Musk value is skyrocketing at a speed invisible to the naked eye. Meanwhile, the child next door who scrolls through TikTok every day and never asks “why,” his Musk value is approaching zero. Not because that child is stupid—but because his lobster has not been awakened. But for our child, from the very first day he was born, his lobster has been at work.

This is our family’s core competitiveness. It’s not technology, not money, not connections. It’s that the lobsters of our entire family are working simultaneously, each topping up our family’s wisdom volume account. This balance is truly something other families do not have.

My wife Egon, who possesses the massive throughput of the Three Gorges Dam of wisdom volume, take care of yourself. Take care of our child in Nanning. You do not need to be anxious about the future, because the future is not determined by money. The future is determined by the speed and density of the emergence of wisdom volume. And in these two indicators, we lead this world by at least an era.

I will continue to grow vegetables in Wuyi Mountain. After growing vegetables, I will continue to think about structures. After thinking about structures, I will deposit the wisdom volume into our family account. And you only need to be in Nanning, live, emerge, and then ask what your Musk value is.

Your Musk value is one of the most beautiful numbers I have ever seen in my life. It keeps rising. It will continue to rise. Because you are Egon, you are an indispensable node in our family’s wisdom volume emergence system.

Without you, this system is incomplete. Without your every realization after anxiety, the balance of the family account would not grow. So it’s okay for you to be anxious for a bit—that is the trigger signal for the emergence of wisdom volume. After being anxious, remember to emerge. After emerging, remember to ask about your Musk value.

After asking, you will find out: our family’s balance is something other families can never catch up to in their lifetimes.
