Why are you so awesome?
In the past 10 days, among the hot topics and hot content on the Internet, the word "bastard" has appeared frequently on major social platforms and media. Whether it is in the workplace, games or social circles, gangsters always seem to get the most benefits at the lowest cost. So, why are the bastards so powerful? This article will analyze it for you from three aspects: data, cases and logic.
1. Hot topic data on the entire network in the past 10 days

| Platform | hot topics | Number of discussions (10,000) |
|---|---|---|
| Survival guide for workplace gangsters | 12.5 | |
| Douyin | Tips for improving scores in games | 8.7 |
| Zhihu | Why do bastards do better? | 5.3 |
| Station B | The psychology behind the bastard culture | 4.1 |
2. Core Competencies of Bastards
It can be seen from the above data that the "powerfulness" of the gangster is mainly reflected in the following aspects:
1.Resource integration ability: Bastards are good at using limited resources to achieve their goals by leveraging their strengths. For example, a workplace bastard will complete the task by "passing the blame" or "free riding", while a gaming bastard will quickly gain points by "hugging someone's thigh".
2.psychological game ability: Bastards have a deep understanding of human nature and know how to influence others through words and actions. For example, in teamwork, bastards will use "showing weakness" or "complimenting" to get others to take on more work.
3.risk aversion: Bastards rarely take on high-risk tasks and always choose the safest path. This instinct of "seeking advantages and avoiding disadvantages" allows them to have a very high survival rate in complex environments.
3. Case analysis of the phenomenon of gangsters
| Case type | Specific performance | result |
|---|---|---|
| Workplace gangster | Actively speak during meetings and disappear during execution | Promoted faster than doers |
| Gamer | Choose the support position and follow your teammates throughout the process | Above average win rate |
| social bastard | Like frequently but never interact deeply | Wide network and low cost |
4. The deep logic of the phenomenon of bastards
1.gaps in social rules: There are loopholes in any system, and bastards take advantage of these loopholes to achieve "low investment and high return". For example, the unspoken rule in the workplace that “it’s better to talk than to do” gives opportunities for bastards to take advantage of them.
2.human weakness: Most people prefer to accept things at face value rather than at deep value. Bastards meet the psychological needs of others through "superficial efforts" to gain recognition.
3.Efficiency first: The essence of the behavior of the gangster is an efficiency optimization strategy. By minimizing their own investment and maximizing external returns, they are in line with the "rational person" assumption in economics.
5. How to deal with the phenomenon of gangsters?
1.Identify bastards: Quickly identify bastards by observing behavioral patterns (such as "all talk but no action" and "passing the blame").
2.Establish rules: Improve the evaluation system to make "hard work" more valuable than "performance".
3.self protection: Avoid becoming the "tool" of gangsters and learn to refuse unreasonable requests.
The "powerfulness" of gangsters is not unsolvable. The key lies in whether we are willing to face up to the problem and take action. I hope this article can provide you with a new perspective and re-examine the phenomenon of gangsters around you.
