The theory of free is not in the world & the theory of man does not like free things.

Although these two words sound similar, psychologically and philosophically * * "Free stuff is not in the world" * * is about * * "facts and worthiness" * * * part * * "Humans do not like free stuff" * * (in a profound sense) is about * * "instinct and self-protection" * *

To make it clearer, let me distinguish it like this:

# # # 1. "There is no such thing as a free lunch)

This is the principle of Economics.

* * * Heart: * * Everything always has "Opportunity Cost."

* * * Description: * * Even that thing you can get without paying, it always has other hidden costs. Such as:

* * * Time: * * You have to waste time waiting for it or wasting time on it.

* * * Brain area: * * You need to remember or deal with it.

* * * Mind burden: * * * Your receipt of something for free is often followed by "latent conditions," such as gratitude, future gratitude, or marketing where they encourage us to buy more expensive things later.

* * * Summary: * * It is a real-world view that * * Every resource has its price * *, but we may not have paid for it at that time.

# # # 2. "Human theory does not like free things" (psychologically).

This is a matter of human self-defense and dignity mechanisms.

* * * HEART: * * Receiving free things makes us feel "indebted" and "out of control."

* * * Description: * * Humans do not instinctively hate free things (we like discounts, like giveaways), but we "do not like the status" that follows after receiving free things:

* * * Lose bargaining power: * * When we accept free things from anyone, we tend to feel considerate, and that automatically makes us followers.

* * * Questioning value: * * When we are intelligent and capable people (like yourself), receiving something easily without exertion is often processed by the brain as * * "This may be meant to attract the undervalued" * * or * * "Are we being insulted by the ability they bring for free?" * *

* * * Self-Worth Pride: * * * People who prefer self-reliance are more happy with acquiring it with their own abilities. Receiving something for free is therefore contrary to the feeling that "I can find it myself."

| View | Free stuff, no in the world | Humans don't like free stuff (in depth) |

| ---| ---| ---|

| * * THINK BASE * * | Economics Reality | Psychology and Sense |

| * * Results * * | Teach Us to Think Analytically Before Getting | Teach Us to Maintain Being Yourself |

| * * Why not like * * | Because it's not really a free thing | Because it makes us feel humiliated or indebted |

♪ # # So how are they related?

These two theories often work together:

A person who understands that * * "free stuff doesn't exist in the world" * * (aware that there is a latent cost) will begin to have a * * "dislike of free stuff" attitude * * (starting to be paranoid and not wanting to receive it) because he feels that paying to buy or build it himself is "cheaper" and "more rewarding" in the long run compared to the price to be paid with presumptuousness or the latent conditions that follow.

* * As a protection worker (Security / Police): * *

The instinct that you don't like for free is a mechanism that protects you from unconscious "self-purchase" or "domination." You see knowledge and intelligence as important because it is something that you "create yourself" and "no one can take away" without being in debt or under anyone's conditions.
