Recently, I've been pondering a question: where is the true dividing line in human competition?

On the surface, it's information disparity—those who have more information tend to win. But upon closer reflection, this is actually a pseudo-issue. The real gap in cognition stems from reflection and associative ability; in simple terms, whether one can connect fragmented pieces into a web and form their own knowledge system.

Here's the problem—this is precisely what AI excels at. Structured thinking, information association, pattern recognition—these abilities that once made humans stand out are now being leveled by large models.

So where has the human competitive advantage gone? Execution.

As AI turns the cognitive landscape into a flat plain, what remains is who can act faster, execute decisions more resolutely, and respond more flexibly to change. This is especially evident in fields like trading markets, project operations, and ecosystem building, which require real-time feedback and rapid iteration.

In other words, the future of competition will inevitably collapse into execution ability. As cognitive advantages diminish and information barriers dissolve, the true winners will be those who think and do.
