Joseph's "Just My Thoughts"

Rest refers to the state of accepting a ‘meaningless stimulus,’ rather than being an absence of any stimulus. There is no genuinely meaningless thing in this world; paradoxically, meaninglessness is meaningful because it ‘has no meaning.’ Excessive information and stimulation can destroy creativity. We intentionally need to be in a state of accepting meaningless stimuli in our daily lives. Whether it’s listening to music, enjoying the sounds of nature, or observing ordinary visual scenes that don’t matter, anything is acceptable. - Joseph’s “just my thoughts”

People with strong interpretive skills receive support from others. Interpretive ability involves i) classifying or grouping phenomena with similar attributes, ii) identifying patterns that share commonalities within the classified groups, and iii) connecting or comparing these patterns with other attribute patterns to gain insights. If the content can be presented in a clear and engaging manner, we will achieve interpretive supremacy among the public. - Joseph’s “just my thoughts”

The world grants power through the interpretation of phenomena, gaining support from many people. Acquiring power through interpretation is termed “interpretation supremacy.” Interpretation involves explaining and understanding the essential concepts that are often concealed in a phenomenon, yet are crucial to its existence. The media has embraced journalism for its capacity to rapidly disseminate facts to a broad audience. Journalism embodies interpretive supremacy. To make an impact in the world, I must be able to express myself and my actions in an engaging and accessible manner, leveraging various media to share my interpretations. With the prevalence of social media, all that is required now is the skill to interpret and seize interpretive supremacy, along with the capability to articulate it effectively. - Joseph’s “just my thoughts”

Courage and brazenness, which ordinary humans often lack, are essential assets for beggars. Courage- especially the kind that others cannot easily afford- holds significant value. This value stems from the essence of courage itself rather than its rarity. We need brazenness when we owe others for a time, yet we must act for ourselves, even at the cost of feeling remorse. Thus, intangible assets like courage and brazenness can replace tangible assets such as cash. Let’s not despair over our lack of material possessions. This does not imply that we should be beggars; rather, it suggests that there are many models in the world to follow. - Joseph’s “just my thoughts”

Knowing the effect means genuinely understanding it. You don’t honestly know just because you comprehend the definition and meaning. We only know when we recognize the effect it has in a specific context, how it influences that context, and what impact it creates, including any aftereffects. Therefore, there are things I am unaware of, so I cannot claim to know everything. Let’s not confuse partial knowledge with complete understanding. - Joseph’s “just my thoughts”

If the price of bread is one dollar, it signifies that the bread has a monetary value of approximately one dollar. Conversely, this indicates that one dollar represents the intrinsic value of the goods associated with the bread. In other words, the values of money and bread (goods) are established through mutual comparison, which also implies that they do not exist independently in the world, as they are assigned absolute values from the moment of their existence. If only comparison can be made, value can be assessed regardless of whether the comparison is mandatory or voluntary, allowing the value to be expressed as a price, which is its monetary value. This suggests that there is no absolute value in the economy, only relative value, and that all values constructed through comparison are subject to fluctuations in price. Consequently, wealth involves the act of preserving or augmenting this relative value while continually exchanging for other goods as a legitimate act of trading. Th...
