Emotions : The human brain is mainly connected to emotion-related circuits rather than logical circuits involved in comparison, prediction, reasoning, and judgment. It’s believed that developing circuits for logic and reason is necessary for intelligence , but actually, human judgments and decisions are controlled by emotion-related circuits. Humans need a variety of emotions to think clearly and make well-informed decisions. Inspiration comes from emotions. To succeed in business and invest wisely, you must be emotionally resilient . Emotions need to be active to feel and respond to crises effectively. This is also why you should have abundant access to art . Emotions evolved to be advantageous for human survival. - Joseph’s “just my thoughts”

Media shapes a “perceived space,” which exists not in the physical realm but within our imagination. Businesses that once thrived on in-person gatherings will need to adapt their perception of space to survive in the future. Traditionally, aggregation has served as a primary profit model. However, even in a distributed setting, if a cognitive connection can be established, a cognitive space emerges. While aggregation and variance are tied to physical realities, these distinctions lose relevance in cognitive terms. For instance, cafés inside train stations hold economic value due to the relatively short travel distance compared to those outside. Yet, a café just outside the station, equipped with an LED display providing boarding information, effectively extends the perceived economic value of the train station space. Instagram exemplifies this concept; to reiterate, media creates a perceived space.

Compared to the era of a self-sufficient barter economy , everyone’s happiness is greater in the exchange economy , where each person divides their labor into what they do best and exchanges what they produce. This is because the division of labor is more efficient than self-sufficiency in productivity and can further reduce production costs. At this point, a means of exchange agreed upon by society is required, which is called money (currency). In other words, in the exchange economy, specialists who excel in one field are more advantageous for survival than ordinary people. An all-round player is more likely to face starvation. Therefore, a generalist is only advantageous for survival when they can organically integrate their diverse abilities in a specific field or situation, while also managing and restricting the scope of their activities and conditions. - Joseph’s “just my thoughts”

The most important aspect of investing is managing risk. However, in most cases, risk management is interpreted and assessed in relation to past patterns. When asset prices fall, the perceived risk appears significant. That doesn’t imply there weren’t risks; investors simply didn’t recognize the risks that originally existed. The level of risk is almost identical whether the price of an asset goes up or down, but when prices decline, they tend to drop further because fear prevents us from purchasing more assets, leading us to retreat. It’s not that the risk has escalated. It is unwise to link risk with past patterns. There have been numerous exceptions in the world, and many beings on this planet have disappeared because they could not adapt. Did dinosaurs not become extinct on Earth ? Exceptions are exceptions because they are unpredictable. - Joseph’s “just my thoughts”

One of the principles prevailing in the natural world is that the stronger prey upon the weaker. The strong eat the weak. Thus, people seek strength. However, the statement that the stronger prey upon the weaker is partly correct and partly incorrect. The principle that survival of the fittest prevails in this world suggests that those who adapt survive. “ Adaptation ” is the strongest thing in the world. - Joseph’s “just my thoughts”
