大家好，我是Yuli。欢迎收听我的播客。
今天想和大家聊一聊【内卷和躺平】的话题。
“内卷”原本是一个人类学的学术用语，原意是指人类社会在某一特定的发展阶段，处于停滞状态，或者不能转换成其他更高层次的形态。这几年“内卷”的概念开始在中国的年轻一代中流行起来，它指的是一种非理性的竞争。
举个例子，孩子们在学校里，有一个同学报名参加了补习班，所有人都报名了。最后的结果是，所有人的分数都提高了，但是排名没有太大的变化，反而是补习班赚钱了。又例如在公司，本来大家都是6点下班，有的同事为了在领导面前表现，开始加班到8点，其他同事为了不让领导觉得自己不够努力，也开始加班，而且加班到更晚。结果就是大家加班的时间越来越晚了，但是工资却没有涨。我们现在经常用“卷”来形容一个行业、一个公司或者一个人，指的是非理性的过度竞争的状态。
随着社会竞争越来越激烈，很多人无形中被卷入到工作和生活上的“内卷”，一些人采用“躺平”方式来回应“内卷”压力，成为“躺平”一族。躺平的意思是拒绝竞争，选择轻松的工作和生活。
那么我们应该选择内卷还是躺平呢？来听一听他的看法。
躺平还是内卷，其实没必要争这个问题。内卷的本质是竞争，而躺平的本质是放弃竞争。永远有人想成为人上人，也有人只想隔岸观火。但竞争的前提是学会互相尊重，在良性对比中找到努力的方向。而放弃竞争意味着你得比大多数人更明白自己想要的是什么。比起极端的天道酬勤，更要明白如何扬长避短。如果鱼在岸上快要渴死了，就不要在岸上努力进化了。如果猫在水里快要被淹死了，就不要待在水里努力适应吧了。内卷和躺平，选什么不重要，你想要成为怎样的自己才重要。
你会选择内卷还是躺平呢？留言告诉我吧。我们下期见。

From fast-food counters to Michelin-starred restaurants, the hamburger is much loved in the Western diet, but where did it come from?

The Merriam-Webster Dictionary defines a hamburger as both "ground beef" and "a sandwich consisting of a patty of hamburger" on a bun. Although these might be the simplest forms of a hamburger, the sandwich is often eaten with other things added, such as lettuce, cheese, sauces and even other meats.

But this popular food didn't start out with all the extras. In fact, it's thought that one of the earliest forms of the hamburger was closer to a steak tartare — raw minced steak mixed with egg.

While a recipe from the Roman Empire suggests the earliest version of this meal, some believe that it came from Mongolian horsemen, who would place beef under their saddles while riding, so that by the end of the day it was tender enough to eat raw.

However, others say these riders placed meat under their saddles only to help heal their horses' sores, and any meat prepared this way would be too dirty to be edible.

A later version is thought to have come from the German city of Hamburg, where chefs around the 17th or 18th century cooked minced beef with onions and breadcrumbs. This came to be known in English as the "Hamburg steak," and made its way to the US during the 19th century, where it was later called the "hamburger."

Although it isn't known who first thought to put this minced meat on bread, adding a bun made the hamburger popular as a sandwich in the US. The first fast-food hamburger chain — named White Castle — was opened in 1921, and still sells its famous square-shaped hamburgers to this day.

Now, hamburgers can be found worldwide thanks to popular American fast-food restaurants such as McDonald's, Burger King and Wendy's. In 2012, PBS reported that an estimated 50 billion hamburgers are eaten in the US alone every year.
