老年人发骚,后果堪比老房子着火…

凭海观潮 2020-12-18

从张文宏的力求退隐,到钟南山的刻意走红,如今红的发紫,还要烧的不行。不能不让人想到,一旦老房子烧起来,还真的无药可救。


文/宋戈 来源/报局(baoju_1)

国民关系挑拨大师咪蒙女士,曾经有句座右铭传扬天下,这句话很骚很大胆,那就是——

“在绝经之前一定要睡到姜东元”!

鉴于当时咪蒙正红的发紫,又是少妇人妻,人们理解她骚成这样,既有动机也有本钱更有市场,她能把整个社会调戏地高潮迭起,正说明刚需群体的需求旺盛。

后来马凌凋零了,也离婚了,如今眼看快绝经了,也不知睡到姜东元没。

说这个,不是要揶揄咪蒙,而是要说明人性深处多少暗流涌动!当然咪蒙年轻,再看看抖音快手上,那么多老阿姨们迷恋靳东,从一不小心瘦十斤到一言不合闹离婚,就大约理解咪蒙想睡姜东元有多冲动。

同时,更让人意识到,即便老年人,一旦发起骚来,那也可能六亲不认。
这大约就像钱钟书在《围城》里说的,老年人的婚外情,就好比老房子失火,基本上一点就着,还不可救药。那种痴迷与忘我,飞蛾扑火般的玩命投身,实在让人难以想象。
这样讲,不是说他们为老不尊,他们其实有权利骚,而且可以各种骚。
放眼环球,长期霸屏的除了中国就是美国,在这唯二两国中,美方的川炮拜登俩大爷对阵正酣,中方则除了王德顺胡锡进勉强能上,恐怕只有钟南山老先生当仁不让。
政治就像春药,看看他们最近带来了多少流量,又引爆多少话题、吸引多少眼球,让你很难想象,前浪们一旦发起骚来,那种狂热澎湃的力量。
先看美方,就目前选情看,川炮越来越像完爆拜登的主场。
虽然俩老头加一起年近150岁,但为了选举,他们马不停蹄地到处走穴,相比较拜登拉票现场的人气凋零,川炮俨然演出现场的摇滚明星,
他出院一把扯掉口罩,西装革履进场,踏着鼓点骚动舞姿,动作张扬引爆全场骚的不行…
他表情丰富搞怪,口若悬河唾沫星子乱飞狂喷两小时,不停歇不下场把话筒拿的死死的…


我感觉,川炮是表演型人格,人越多就越亢奋,葬礼上必须做牧师的那种。
你很难想象,一个身价百亿美金的地产富豪,放着好端端的生意不做,偏偏拿一美金年薪,荒废自家生意,拉着一大家子为国服务,一任四年还不够,还要再干四年义务,每天起早贪黑玩命干,是不是比老阿姨迷靳东还疯狂?
恐怕,让老阿姨知道,都会说川炮,纯属有病,烧的不轻!
但这并不能阻止川炮出征,老阿姨不行、老拜登不行,整个人类都不行,就算是病毒,也能成为他炫耀的资本,他说他感染后更强大,更有力量,连医生给他检测身体,都被他说成不是DNA,而是USA。
回想一度住院,还烧的不轻,后来能奇迹康复,不能不说犹如神助。
在这点上,他毫不掩饰,别人说他闻名于世,他说最有名的是耶稣,其次才是天选之子,这种自信,外人看来膨胀的不行,他却自我感觉良好,这算不算一种高骚不退?
如果,天下还有敢挑战的人,目前看来只有拜登。虽然廉颇老矣,但尚能陪跑。
他以年长川炮4岁年近80的老迈之躯,备受对手痴呆瞌睡等各种讥笑和嫌弃,还能坚持在竞选第一线,与对手硬扛到底。这种垂死挣扎精神,是不是值得大洋彼岸的后浪们赞叹我靠牛逼?
如果不是烧的不轻,谁愿意对着空荡荡的机场挥手?谁又愿意对着寥寥座席演讲呢?
然而,当我看到王德顺大爷T台走猫步、钟南山院士带货走流量,让我觉得老来骚是全球性的,甚至社会意义全面碾压西方,看看王大爷的彪悍人生五十才开始,如今早已把时尚界拿的死死的。
再看看王德顺和钟南山的一身肌肉,应当来讲,能在80岁这个级别,还能有如此膨胀嚣张的体格,别说秒杀了全中国99%的老大爷,就是大神川炮也自叹弗如,他只能将自己的头像PS到史泰龙的肌肉造型上,借此发泄下他那内心深处的骚动。
史泰龙曾说:人在追求理想之时,便是坠入孤独之际。
听上去,是不是有点“独孤求败”的意味?


这种巅峰体验,川炮大神应该深有体会,正是烧的不行,他才要做总统。但从他个人来讲,他是有所失去的。正像他儿子说的,他最不该做的就是总统,因为干这个是赔钱的,他完全可以享受人生、颐养天年。
而他追求的是社会价值,这种人生得意,或许只有钟南山能与之媲美。
其实,论权重,钟院士才应该是重点,老川头虽世界知名,但他毕竟是洋人,风光才没几年,缺乏本土群众基础。而钟院士早已深根十多年,他名扬天下的时候,李子柒才刚青春期,咪蒙还在找工作,由他推出的板蓝根,不知滋润过多少人的胃。
若论带货能力,钟院士不仅是最早的祖师,更是最强的流量IP。


自打“非典”阻击战,钟南山一炮走红,板蓝根随之成为“国民饮品”,一旦感冒发烧,你不喝点板蓝根,你都不符医疗标准。说严重点,你是拿生命当儿戏,上对不起父母、下对不起子女,既对不起祖宗、也对不起社会,你完全没把板蓝根当成神仙水。
板蓝根有多神奇?原本并不神奇,人民日报曾专门辟谣板蓝根防毒,而且还有副作用,可怜我也曾当饮料喝过几次。
但是,经钟院士一代言,好比观音点化过的甘露“阿蜜栗多”,03年能治非典,如今能杀辛冠,至于钟院士强调的“体外”研究结果,并没人在意多么严谨,也没人琢磨到时是内服还是外用,反正抢到就是赚到。
于是,圈内有朋友说好友的淘宝店,一下卖出8万多,日销预计超20万。实体店门庭若市挤破头,纷纷挂出“售罄”牌。白云山疯狂涨停,股价飙升100亿,中成药如日中天。
这社会价值,别说咪蒙、李子柒,就是带货大佬罗永浩,顶多也就是吭哧几年只够还账的小年轻。即便土豪总统川建国,你让他带个货试试,他连推荐个羟氯喹都要被媒体打问号,更别提注射消毒水的说法,成了妇孺皆知的笑料。
不能不承认,钟院士才是比川炮大神,不知牛逼多少倍的带货大神。
特别是今年,板蓝根只算压箱底的宝贝,之前钟院士还推荐过双黄连、金银花、莲花清瘟、血必净…这才一年不到,钟南山团队就研究出对抗病毒的五六种药物,这在人类医学史上,不能不说是个奇迹。
而钟院士,也不能不说是个奇人。国家封他为“国士”,民众早已尊其为偶像。
如果你留意,你会发现一种趋势,就是只有钟院士,才能制造这种现象级事件。只要他往哪里一站,指着面前的双黄连能治病防毒,双黄连就抢光,股价就飙涨;指着莲花清瘟说能防毒,莲花清瘟也抢光,市值也飙涨;再指着金银花、血必净…
更别提什么神仙水似的板蓝根,就是哪天往WC门口一站,你也能想象到后果多严重,恐怕乡下茅坑都能用来圈钱。
写到这里,已是凌晨,我不由有些悲哀加自惭,同样是人,人家动个嘴就能救市,咱吭哧吭哧身心俱疲。
再看看人家钟院士,80好几还一身腱子肉,在民众心里俨然“守护神”,都希望他健康永驻,多贡献精神资源。钟院士也自尊自爱,又是冬虫夏草、又是安慕希奶…等各种营养护体,他这套老房子,怎么发烧也不怕。
老川炮也骚,但那是赔本买卖。钟院士的骚,肯定比川炮赚的多。这个意义上来讲,老川不值得,钟老更值钱,也更有利于继续变现。
看看钟院士,活活把自己整成了流量明星、带货IP,从起初的生硬,到如今的娴熟,越来越有状态,将来会走什么红烧路线,都还存在悬念。较之咪蒙绝经,他更想死前多带点货。
从张文宏的力求退隐,到钟南山的刻意走红,如今红的发紫,还要烧的不行。不能不让人想到,一旦老房子烧起来,还真的无药可救。
本来有人犯病,就有人吃药。可是要么吃的药不对,要么吃的人不对。而老先生却健在,药厂还红火起来了。
何时是个头?真是种悲哀!

They had arrived in San Francisco, where their ship was decommissioned, and Paul bet that he would find himself a wife within two weeks. He was a taut, tattooed engine mechanic, six feet tall, with a passing resemblance to James Dean. But it wasn’t his looks that got him a date with Clara Hagopian, a sweet-humored daughter of Armenian immigrants. It was the fact that he and his friends had a car, unlike the group she had originally planned to go out with that evening. Ten days later, in March 1946, Paul got engaged to Clara and won his wager. It would turn out to be a happy marriage, one that lasted until death parted them more than forty years later. Paul Reinhold Jobs had been raised on a dairy farm in Germantown, Wisconsin. Even though his father was an alcoholic and sometimes abusive, Paul ended up with a gentle and calm disposition under his leathery exterior. After dropping out of high school, he wandered through the Midwest picking up work as a mechanic until, at age nineteen, he joined the Coast Guard, even though he didn’t know how to swim. He was deployed on the USS General M. C. Meigs and spent much of the war ferrying troops to Italy for General Patton. His talent as a machinist and fireman earned him commendations, but he occasionally found himself in minor trouble and never rose above the rank of seaman. Clara was born in New Jersey, where her parents had landed after fleeing the Turks in Armenia, and they moved to the Mission District of San Francisco when she was a child. She had a secret that she rarely mentioned to anyone: She had been married before, but her husband had been killed in the war. So when she met Paul Jobs on that first date, she was primed to start a new life. Like many who lived through the war, they had experienced enough excitement that, when it was over, they desired simply to settle down, raise a family, and lead a less eventful life. They had little money, so they moved to Wisconsin and lived with Paul’s parents for a few years, then headed for Indiana, where he got a job as a machinist for International Harvester. His passion was tinkering with old cars, and he made money in his spare time buying, restoring, and selling them. Eventually he quit his day job to become a full-time used car salesman. Clara, however, loved San Francisco, and in 1952 she convinced her husband to move back there. They got an apartment in the Sunset District facing the Pacific, just south of Golden Gate Park, and he took a job working for a finance company as a “repo man,” picking the locks of cars whose owners hadn’t paid their loans and repossessing them. He also bought, repaired, and sold some of the cars, making a decent enough living in the process. There was, however, something missing in their lives. They wanted children, but Clara had suffered an ectopic pregnancy, in which the fertilized egg was implanted in a fallopian tube rather than the uterus, and she had been unable to have any. So by 1955, after nine years of marriage, they were looking to adopt a child. Like Paul Jobs, Joanne Schieble was from a rural Wisconsin family of German heritage. Her father, Arthur Schieble, had immigrated to the outskirts of Green Bay, where he and his wife owned a mink farm and dabbled successfully in various other businesses, including real estate and photoengraving. He was very strict, especially regarding his daughter’s relationships, and he had strongly disapproved of her first love, an artist who was not a Catholic. Thus it was no surprise that he threatened to cut Joanne off completely when, as a graduate student at the University of Wisconsin, she fell in love with Abdulfattah “John” Jandali, a Muslim teaching assistant from Syria. Jandali was the youngest of nine children in a prominent Syrian family. His father owned oil refineries and multiple other businesses, with large holdings in Damascus and Homs, and at one point pretty much controlled the price of wheat in the region. His mother, he later said, was a “traditional Muslim woman” who was a “conservative, obedient housewife.” Like the Schieble family, the Jandalis put a premium on education. Abdulfattah was sent to a Jesuit boarding school, even though he was Muslim, and he got an undergraduate degree at the American University in Beirut before entering the University of Wisconsin to pursue a doctoral degree in political science. In the summer of 1954, Joanne went with Abdulfattah to Syria. They spent two months in Homs, where she learned from his family to cook Syrian dishes. When they returned to Wisconsin she discovered that she was pregnant. They were both twenty-three, but they decided not to get married. Her father was dying at the time, and he had threatened to disown her if she wed Abdulfattah. Nor was abortion an easy option in a small Catholic community. So in early 1955, Joanne traveled to San Francisco, where she was taken into the care of a kindly doctor who sheltered unwed mothers, delivered their babies, and quietly arranged closed adoptions. Joanne had one requirement: Her child must be adopted by college graduates. So the doctor arranged for the baby to be placed with a lawyer and his wife. But when a boy was born—on February 24, 1955—the designated couple decided that they wanted a girl and backed out. Thus it was that the boy became the son not of a lawyer but of a high school dropout with a passion for mechanics and his salt-of-the-earth wife who was working as a bookkeeper. Paul and Clara named their new baby Steven Paul Jobs. When Joanne found out that her baby had been placed with a couple who had not even graduated from high school, she refused to sign the adoption papers. The standoff lasted weeks, even after the baby had settled into the Jobs household. Eventually Joanne relented, with the stipulation that the couple promise—indeed sign a pledge—to fund a savings account to pay for the boy’s college education. There was another reason that Joanne was balky about signing the adoption papers. Her father was about to die, and she planned to marry Jandali soon after. She held out hope, she would later来源:小兵说天下
