#马斯克 's Singularity Declaration: It's not "humanity needs liberation," but "the old world needs to be liquidated."

Many people, after hearing Musk's words, only remember a few sensational points:
No need to save for retirement
College is useless
Enter the Singularity in 3–7 years
#AGI 2026, 2030 surpass all humanity
But if you take these as "a beautiful future," you're missing the point.
What Musk is really talking about is a much harsher reality:
All the pricing logic of the old order is failing.
1. This is not the "white-collar apocalypse," but the collapse of the middle class
Musk says AI can already replace half of white-collar jobs, and many people are numb to this.
But the key is not "replacement," but structure.
The fastest to be swallowed up are not the lowest or the highest, but:
Standardized mental labor
Clear rules, fixed pathways
Positions that think they "need years of experience"
Accounting, legal, analysis, research, consulting, education, content creation—
Any profession involving "information processing + template judgment" is essentially bankrupt.
And it's not in the future, but now.
The truly terrifying part is:
Many people still price themselves based on "years of experience."
2. Blue-collar workers are not safe; they are "postponed execution"
Many will instinctively object when hearing about robotic surgeons:
"That's exaggerated."
But Musk isn't predicting "whether it can," he's talking about a speed model:
AI × chips × mechanical dexterity × recursive manufacturing
This isn't linear progress; it's exponential stacking.
Once crossing the threshold, the change isn't "gradual replacement," but the entire profession is skipped over.
Just like:
Cameras didn't slowly replace film
Smartphones didn't gradually squeeze out feature phones
They were directly cleared out.
So blue-collar workers are not safe; they are just the next in line.
3. "College is dead" is not anti-intellectual but anti-path dependence
Musk's statement:
"I don't understand why people still go to college"
is not denying learning, but denying a certain thing:
Using "academic credentials" as proof of productivity.
In the #AI era:
Knowledge is not scarce
Explanations are not scarce
Training pathways are not scarce
What is truly scarce is:
Can you correctly break down problems
Do you have real-world scenarios
Can you be responsible for the results
The only things that still hold value in college are:
Social density
A buffer period for identity
In simple terms, it's a cushion for you to enter the real world later.
4. "Don't save for retirement" ≠ the future will be more equitable
This is the most easily misunderstood point.
Musk is saying:
Money will be "de-meaninged," not that the wealth gap will disappear.
The future isn't "everyone has money," but:
Most goods and services will approach zero cost
Healthcare, education, basic production will be almost free
Money will become ineffective at the "survival level"
But note—
What won't be scarce is not material things, but:
Control
Decision-making power
Computing power, energy, data, rule access
Pensions are not important; that doesn't mean your position isn't important.
5. Energy = new currency, this statement is very dangerous but also very true
Musk says "future currency is watts," and this is not a metaphor but a pricing logic.
Who controls:
Energy
Computing power
Infrastructure
Whoever controls these, controls the upper limit of AI.
That's why he repeatedly emphasizes China, solar energy, and computing clusters.
You'll notice a trend:
Financial hegemony → Technological hegemony → Energy hegemony
The sequence is reversing.
6. Humanity's true role: not the protagonist, but the "boot-up program"
The most honest thing Musk has said is:
I can't stop it, so I choose to participate.
What does this mean?
It means:
AI won't wait for humans to adapt slowly
Ethics are not the brake but the steering wheel
Those who don't participate will only be crushed by the results
He describes humans as "biological guiding programs," which in plain language means:
We only have irreplaceability in the "early stage."
And after that?
It's history.
The final words for ordinary people:
This is not a future of "lying back and winning,"
but an era where the freedom of the strong skyrockets and the weak lose their anchors.
The truly important questions are no longer:
What to learn
What to do
What to invest in
but:
When AI can do all "useful things" for you,
what can you rely on to prove "your value"?
The Singularity is not a sci-fi moment,
but a societal re-pricing of identity.
It has already begun.
