No Model Built on "Human Self-Awareness" Has Ever Succeeded
Looking across human history, no model has ever run on people's self-awareness. Even a church has a series of rules and regulations; there must be discipline with rewards and punishments for it to keep running.
The wisdom of the ancients asks: if you repay injury with kindness, with what will you repay kindness?
There are all kinds of criticisms that try to hold the Commune hostage in the name of charity and compassion; this is absurd. Is it really right to leave an agreement unenforced? If charity has no discipline, it will be hard for it to have much impact.
Zeng Guofan said: wield the thunderbolt hand while showing the Bodhisattva's heart. The Commune enforces strict discipline, and the true beneficiaries are the members. As platform operators we do not court anyone's favor; that we lose some members is a mark of responsibility.
