Revival: Renaissance

21st-century psychologist Brother Feng, a fugitive, proposed:

The Grand Unified Theory of Sexual Repression

That is, all psychological problems stem from sexual repression. The idea of continuing the family line has long been deeply rooted in society, profoundly affecting men. However, this traditional concept has fallen far behind the times in modern society. Under the control of this desire, most lower-class men, due to their own limitations, either plunge into the fervor of some grand narrative or enter the "laborer all-in" phase.

The Laborer Theory

That is, working hard to earn savings, saving money only to marry and have children. But due to bride prices, houses, cars, and children, they are forced to work even harder, inevitably sliding into the "Android" identity.

21st-century sociologist Hu Chenfeng proposed:

The Apple-Android Relativity Theory

Here, class finds a concrete symbol. This theory sharply points out that smartphone brands have become a hidden social stratification symbol: "Apple" represents the upper-class identity with the privilege of life choices, while "Android" metaphorically represents the lower-class identity burdened with survival pressures, constantly sliding downward, measuring life only by cost-effectiveness. It is no longer a consumer choice but an explicit label of fate.

Sexual repression is the origin, all-in is the process, and Android is the destination.

The three theories are interconnected, revealing the logic behind the cycle of fate. They seem unrelated but ultimately point to the same thing:

Three theories, mutually corroborating, reveal the desperate plight of modern lower-class men.

Why are philosophers frequently banned? Perhaps because they have clearly dissected the dilemmas of contemporary society.
