Cryptic Elon Musk post goes viral. What does it mean?
Today, Musk tweets an ancient Chinese poem--<Seven Steps Verse>.
Do you know what it means?
At first, I want to show u the translation:
<The Brothers>
<The Brothers>
They were boiling beans on a beanstalk fire;
Came a plaintive voice from the pot,
"O why, since we sprang from the selfsame root,
Should you kill me with anger hot?"
And then, I'll tell u the story:
The highly allegorical poem describes the relationship between two brothers from a royal family during China's warring Three Kingdoms period. The brothers are Cao Pi and Cao Zhi.
The highly allegorical poem describes the relationship between two brothers from a royal family during China's warring Three Kingdoms period. The brothers are Cao Pi and Cao Zhi.
Cao Pi was jealous of his brother Cao Zhi's literary talent and ordered him to write a poem within seven steps, containing the meaning of brotherhood but without the word "brother", or else he would be executed.
Cao Zhi made this poem on the subject of boiling beans to express the sorrow of brotherhood, and eventually Cao Pi released him because he was ashamed of himself.
How to interpret Musk's posts?
Number 1: Musk was alluding to two rivaling dog-themed cryptocurrencies, shiba inu and dogecoin.
Number 2:<Humankind> is a game. Maybe the poem is Musk's feelings after playing the game.
Just watch the video of<Humankind>
