Chapter 1020 Three human lives: omniscience, ignorance, and balance When children are young, they feel that they are the center of the world, and they cry to control adults. As they grow older, they begin to feel powerless and inferior to adults in everything, and they develop a sense of inferiority. Then they learn from adults and overcome their inferiority complex. In the rest of their lives, they will continue to find that the world is getting bigger and bigger, and they will become more and more inferior to themselves. Then they will learn to improve themselves, constantly overcome their inferiority complex, and then find a balance. If they start to stop learning and working hard, they will enter. The state of hiding one's ears and stealing the bell means that one is self-enclosed and begins to deny new things, so three types of people are gradually formed. One is that they are omniscient and do not need to learn, they find a way to explain everything, the other is that they are ignorant and think that learning is useless, and hate all new things, and the other is people who continue to learn and constantly transcend inferiority to achieve balance. As for which kind is better, it is a matter of opinion, but life is so short, and the end point is the same. Your description poetically and cruelly condenses life into a cognitive cycle of constant "shrinking-expanding-shrinking again": from the illusion of omnipotence as a baby, to the awakening of inferiority in school age, to the sense of insignificance when facing the infinite universe as an adult, and then divided into three forked roads. This model actually highly overlaps with several classic frameworks in psychology: • Piaget's egocentrism: In early childhood (preoperational stage), children do believe that the world revolves around them, and that others have the same perspective as themselves. This is what you mean by "feeling like the center of the world and controlling adults with crying." • Erikson's Industry vs Inferiority (Industry vs Inferiority): Around the age of 6-12, when children enter school and compare with society, they begin to strongly feel that "I am inferior to others" and develop inferiority complex. If the environment is well-supported, a "sense of diligence/competence" will develop; if the environment is not well-supported, a person will fall into a persistent low self-esteem. • Continuation in adulthood: Many people regard this cycle of "inferiority - learning - overcoming - inferiority again" as a lifelong theme. Carol Dweck's **growth mindset vs fixed mindset** is almost the modern translation of your three types of people: • Two extremes of the fixed mindset: • "I'm good enough/I was born this way" → the omniscient who thinks he has mastered the ultimate truth (rejects new information and finds a system to "explain everything", such as some extreme ideologies or pseudo-scientific beliefs). • "I'm not good at birth, and it's useless to learn anything." → Learned helplessness, aversion to new things, self-isolation. • Growth mindset: Treat abilities as malleable, and constantly iterate yourself through effort, feedback, and failure. It's not that there is no inferiority, but that inferiority is used as fuel, not the end. The third type of person you mentioned is actually practicing the "lifelong growth mindset" + "dynamic balance": acknowledging that the world will always be bigger than oneself, but not being paralyzed by it, but transforming the sense of insignificance into curiosity and action. As for which one is "better"? • From an evolutionary/adaptive perspective: The third species is best able to live long and well. The world changes too fast, and people who stop learning can easily be eliminated (whether it is the workplace, relationships or cognition). • From the perspective of subjective well-being: the first type may be the most comfortable (a strong sense of cognitive closure, the world is simple and controllable), the second type is the most painful (continuous powerlessness and resentment), and the third type is the most tiring but also has the most realistic sense of "alive". • From an existential perspective: all three roads ultimately lead to the same end point (death), but the third one, at least in a limited time, expands as many possibilities of "becoming" as possible instead of putting oneself into a box early. Life is indeed surprisingly short. But precisely because it is short, "under the premise of knowing that the end point is the same, what posture do you choose to use to walk towards it" becomes extremely important. Some people choose to declare "I have arrived" in advance, some choose "I will never arrive, so I won't leave", and some choose "I know I can't arrive, but I still have to go further and take another look at the scenery." Which do you feel you are closer to now? In other words, which one do you want to rely on? (This road has no end point, only continuous, small, and honest corrections.) From inferiority to balance: economics, game theory, and Adlerian psychology analysis of the cognitive cycle of life Abstract Cognitive development in life often begins with egocentrism in early childhood and gradually evolves into a learning and growth process driven by inferiority complex, eventually forming three typical personality types: omniscient, ignorant, and balanced growth. This article uses the incentive mechanism and cost-benefit analysis in economics, the strategic interaction model in game theory, and the inferiority complex and compensation mechanism in Adlerian psychology to conduct a multidisciplinary analysis of this process. Research has found that the three personality types correspond to different adaptation strategies. Under limited life resources, the balanced growth type is more sustainable in the long term. The analysis aims to reveal how individuals achieve self-optimization in the face of the infinite nature of the world and provide theoretical enlightenment for personal development. Keywords: inferiority complex; cognitive cycle; economic incentives; game theory strategy; Adlerian psychology Introduction Since birth, human beings have been in an ever-expanding world cognition. When they are young, children regard themselves as the center of the universe and control adults through crying and other behaviors. As they grow older, they find themselves powerless and develop a sense of inferiority, which they overcome through imitation and learning. From then on, life is a repeated cycle of inferiority-learning-balance. If you stop working hard, you may fall into self-isolation and form three types of personalities: (1) think yourself omniscient and omnipotent and reject new knowledge; (2) think yourself ignorant and incompetent and hate new things; (3) continue to learn, transcend inferiority, and achieve dynamic balance. As the old saying goes, "Life is short." Although the three paths lead to the same end (death), the processes are significantly different. This article aims to analyze this phenomenon from a multidisciplinary perspective. Economics provides a resource allocation and incentive framework; game theory reveals the interaction strategies between individuals and the environment; Adlerian psychology focuses on inferiority complex as the core mechanism of growth motivation. Through these tools, we explore which path is more "optimal" and emphasize the importance of pursuing balance in a finite life. The analysis is based on theoretical models and does not involve empirical data, and is intended to provide readers with philosophical and practical inspiration. Economic analysis: incentive mechanism and cost-benefit trade-off Economics regards individuals as rational decision-makers who maximize utility under limited resources (such as time and energy). The cognitive cycle of life can be regarded as an "investment-return" process, and the feeling of inferiority acts as a "negative incentive", pushing individuals to invest in learning to obtain "capability returns". Inferiority as a motivational signal In economics, inferiority is similar to "opportunity cost": individuals are aware of their own disadvantages relative to others (such as lack of knowledge, skills), which is equivalent to the "sunk cost" of childhood illusions that have been invested but not rewarded. In the face of world expansion (such as technological change, social competition), feelings of inferiority rise, prompting individuals to evaluate the marginal benefits of "investment in learning." If the marginal benefit is greater than the marginal cost (time, effort), individuals will choose to learn to overcome their inferiority complex. Three types of personality correspond to different motivational responses: • Omniscient: similar to the "path dependence" trap. They find a "low-cost explanatory framework" (such as religion or ideology), treat it as a master key, and stop further investment. High short-term utility (reducing cognitive uncertainty), but faces the risk of "externalities" in the long term: changes in the world that cause the framework to fail, similar to the bursting of an economic bubble. • Ignorance: Similar to the extreme form of "risk aversion". The cost of inferiority is too high, so they choose to "exit the market" and reject new knowledge to avoid the pain of failure. In the utility function, the marginal benefit of learning is underestimated to zero, leading to a "poverty trap" - stagnant abilities and reduced social adaptability. • Balanced growth: adopts a "dynamic optimization" strategy, constantly evaluates inferiority signals, and invests in learning to achieve "Pareto improvement." They view life as an "indefinite investment portfolio" and spread risks through diversification (multi-field learning) to maximize lifetime utility. Economic inspiration: In a world with asymmetric information, the balanced type is closer to a rational actor under the "efficient market hypothesis" and can better cope with uncertainty. But if external incentives (such as the education system) are insufficient, all types may be biased toward a low-effort equilibrium. Game theory analysis: strategic interaction between the individual and the world. Game theory regards life cognition as a repeated game between the individual and the "world" (environment, others, social changes). The feeling of inferiority is the product of "information asymmetry": the individual's initial information is limited, and the world as an "adversary" constantly reveals new rules. The repeated prisoner's dilemma model regards the learning process as a repeated prisoner's dilemma: cooperation (learning new knowledge) can obtain long-term reciprocity, but defecting (refuse to learn) can achieve short-term gain (comfort). The world acts as a "rational player" and "punishes" non-cooperators through changes (such as technological revolutions). • Omniscient: Uses a "tit-for-tat" variation, but locks in the "cooperation-ending" strategy early. Once a Nash equilibrium (such as a single theory) that "explains everything" is found, they refuse further interaction, akin to permanent defection under a "trigger strategy." The short-term equilibrium is stable, but if the world "betrays" (new evidence emerges), they fall into a "suboptimal equilibrium" from which they cannot escape. • Ignorant: Similar to the "always defect" strategy. Inferior self-esteem is regarded as "high punishment expectation". They predict that cooperation (learning) will lead to greater losses, so they choose to isolate themselves. This is rational in short-term games (avoiding pain), but not optimal in infinitely repeated games, as the world will "evolve" to exclude the unfit. • Balanced Growth Style: Adopting a "tolerant tit-for-tat" or "evolutionarily stable strategy" (ESS). They regard inferiority as a signal, cooperate initially, allow short-term failure (inferiority), and adjust through feedback. In the long run, this achieves "Pareto optimality": individual growth synchronizes with the world, similar to win-win under cooperative equilibrium. Game theory emphasizes that all three types are rational, but depend on the "discount factor" (the emphasis on the future). The short life is equivalent to a high discount rate, which promotes short-term strategies; if life is regarded as an "infinite game" (Simon Sinek concept), a balanced type is better, and can build trust through "signaling" (continuous learning) and reduce the oscillation of the inferiority cycle. Adlerian Psychological Analysis: Inferiority Complex and Compensation Mechanism Alfred Adler regarded inferiority complex as a universal human inferiority complex, which originates from the feeling of powerlessness in infancy, but can be transformed into "striving for superiority". The cognitive cycle of life is the dynamic process of inferiority complex and compensation. Inferiority as a driving force for growth Adler believes that self-centeredness in childhood is a "compensatory illusion"; after entering society, inferiority complex awakens and promotes the development of "social interest" - integrating into the group through learning. Stopping compensation results in a "neurotic style." Three types of personality correspond to different compensation modes: • Omniscient type: overcompensates and forms a "superiority complex". They construct the illusion of omniscience through "fictional finalism", similar to a "life-lie", and reject new knowledge to maintain self-esteem. But this goes against Adler's "sense of community" and leads to isolation. • Ignorant type: Failure to compensate and falling into an "inferiority complex." They view learning as a threat and choose to "withdraw" or "attack" new things (disgust), similar to "avoidance neurosis." This reinforces feelings of helplessness and creates a vicious cycle. • Balanced growth type: healthy compensation and realization of "creative self". They transform their inferiority complex into "task-oriented" actions and continue to learn in pursuit of "perfection" rather than perfection. Adler's "encouragement therapy" supports this approach: treating failure as an opportunity and maintaining a dynamic balance. Adlerian revelation: The three types all stem from the same source of inferiority, but the balanced type achieves integration through "life tasks" (work, love, society). The more "better" path is the balanced type, because it promotes mental health and social adaptation, and is consistent with the holism of "individual psychology". Conclusion Through the cross-analysis of economics, game theory and Adlerian psychology, we found that the cognitive cycle of life is essentially an adaptation process driven by inferiority complex. The three personality types represent different strategies: in a limited life, the omniscient and ignorant types provide short-term comfort, but are prone to traps; the balanced growth type, although hard-working, achieves long-term optimization and a sense of meaning. Opinions vary, but given the "same endpoint," choosing a balanced path maximizes process value. Future research can introduce empirical data, such as longitudinally tracking individual development, to validate the model. Ultimately, life is not a zero-sum game: through continuous learning, we not only overcome low self-esteem but also contribute balance to the world.

The author is professional in screenwriting and has a strong sense of immersion! Everyone in the protagonist group is struggling, but the end of the struggle may be a deeper abyss. Being 'suspicious and sinister' is not a point of enjoyment here, it is a necessity for survival and an accelerator of tragedy. Beneath the shell of adventure is a bone-chilling chill. I was really surprised that a new author could write this feeling of powerlessness and fate so thoroughly.
