FAST (Free Ad-supported Streaming TV) is gaining attention. It refers to a type of media service where viewers watch ads and access content for free instead of paying a fixed subscription fee to watch movies or shows online. However, strictly speaking, FAST isn’t truly free because viewers must watch ads. In terms of opportunity cost, the viewer pays for the service by watching ads instead of paying a subscription fee. All free offerings are created through a value exchange. Let’s not be mistaken—nothing is truly free. Freebies are simply a form of payment. My expenses become someone else’s income. - Joseph’s “just my thoughts”
The founder of the Presbyterian Church, Jean-Calvin, gave the name “vocation (calling)” to the “labor power” people provided to the capitalist. Labor is sacred and destiny. However, in this natural world, humans are the only ones who do much work without reason beyond those necessary for survival. African lions only take a nap outside of hunting time. “The dog in my house” also plays outside except for walking and eating. Humans who work physically and mentally 24 hours a day even abuse their brains, saying they are lacking. Only when you prove yourself to others do you become yourself indeed. But the time has come for AI and robots to do the work humans value. The opportunity came to be recognized for value, not the ability, but the existence itself. In the future, “Who am I?” will lead to success rather than “What are you doing?” Then, I'm asking, “Who are you?” - Joseph’s “just my thoughts”
