【聊了什么The What】
这期节目是vibe shift三部曲的最后一集——在酝酿了很久以后，我们终于找到了一个适合开启的角度——“匮乏”。这里的匮乏不仅仅指经济指标上的衰退（如好莱坞罢工、票房崩溃、生活成本危机），更指向一种集体心理状态：对美好未来的想象力丧失了。
当“信心”消失，欲望就变成了苦涩的愤怒和嘲讽。我们聊到了韩国电影中为了生存系统性谋杀竞争对手的失业男主，聊到了好莱坞自由主义叙事的全面崩塌，以及 Gen Z 为何不再相信《哈利·波特》式的英雄主义。在这样一个极化、原子化、被算法裹挟的时代，我们该如何寻找解药？答案或许在于做一些“低效”但具体的事情，比如给邻居送菜，比如慢慢地讲一个故事。
This episode is the final installment of our “Vibe Shift” trilogy.After circling the theme for a long time, we finally found the right entry point: scarcity.Scarcity here doesn’t only refer to economic downturns — Hollywood strikes, collapsing box office numbers, or the cost-of-living crisis. It points to something deeper: a collective psychological state in which the imagination of a better future has eroded.
When confidence disappears, desire curdles into resentment, sarcasm, and anger. We talk about a Korean film in which an unemployed man systemically eliminates his competitors just to survive. We discuss the collapse of Hollywood’s liberal narrative framework. We explore why Gen Z no longer believes in Harry Potter–style heroism.In an era defined by polarization, atomization, and algorithmic manipulation, how do we find an antidote?Perhaps the answer lies in doing things that feel inefficient but concrete — bringing vegetables to a neighbor, telling a story slowly and carefully.
【时间轴 The When】
00:00 什么是“匮乏感”？它不只是缺钱，而是对未来失去信心。当希望消失，欲望会转化为愤怒和犬儒。
05:30 从《无路可逃》和《爱丁顿》说起。当资源紧缩，他人变成路障。传统“供养者”男性叙事在现代系统中崩塌。
12:11 自由主义叙事开始失效。观众厌倦好莱坞的说教，《The Studio》揭示的是文化工业的瘫痪与精英脱节。
23:36 代际断裂。为什么 Gen Z 对《哈利波特》那种九十年代式的乐观主义越来越无感，Gen Z 成长于极化与停滞之中，不再相信善恶分明的世界。
36:00 我们开始怀旧：布拉德·皮特和《F1》是一个典型例子，电影构建了一个没有政治争议、只有输赢规则的世界。传统男性气概重新被召唤。你爹还是你爹。这种叙事满足了人们对确定性的渴望，也提供了一种逃避复杂现实的方式。
47:50 性别角色回潮。《爱情盲选》和 tradwife 现象反映了在极化时代中对安全感的表演式追寻。
55: 50 AI 并未带来连接，反而放大分裂，我们开始怀疑“科技救世”的神话。《神奇四侠》中的技术乐观主义不复存在。
1:23:30 西方社会 生活成本危机加剧匮乏感。算法利用焦虑制造争吵，社交网络赛博巴尔干化是什么？
1:35:30 结语 拒绝犬儒，从具体行动开始。真实的连接或许是对抗虚无的唯一方式。
00:00 What is “scarcity”? It’s not just financial lack, but a loss of faith in the future. When hope disappears, desire turns into anger and cynicism.
05:30 We begin with No Other Choice and Eddington. As resources shrink, other people become obstacles. The traditional male “provider” narrative collapses within the modern system.
12:11 The liberal narrative loses its grip. Audiences are exhausted by Hollywood moralizing. The Studio exposes paralysis within the cultural industry and its detachment from ordinary life.
23:36 A generational rupture. Why Gen Z no longer connects with 1990s optimism like Harry Potter. Raised amid polarization and stagnation, they no longer believe in a morally clear world.
36:00 We turn to nostalgia. Brad Pitt and F1 serve as a key example. The film constructs a world without political conflict — only winners and losers. Traditional masculinity is revived. “Daddy is still daddy.” It satisfies a longing for certainty and offers escape from complexity.
47:50 The return of gender roles. Love Is Blind and the tradwife phenomenon reflect a performative search for safety in a polarized age.
55:50 AI did not bring connection; it amplified division. We begin to question the myth of technological salvation. The technological optimism of Fantastic Four no longer holds.
1:23:30 The Western cost-of-living crisis deepens scarcity. Algorithms exploit anxiety and manufacture endless conflict. What does cyber-Balkanization of social networks mean?
1:35:30 Conclusion. Reject cynicism and begin with concrete action. Real human connection may be the only antidote to nihilism.
