Austrian psychiatrist Julius Wagner-Jauregg had a remarkable talent for recognizing patterns. When a common tendency appears, it’s called a pattern. Finding common ground also involves identifying problems or finding solutions. Before the discovery of penicillin, Julius was searching for a way to treat neurosyphilis but accidentally discovered that the condition was cured when the patient developed a severe fever from another disease. Julius intentionally infected a patient with malaria to induce a fever, and when the fever rose, he used quinine to treat malaria and saved the syphilis patient. Without treatment, syphilis had a 30% survival rate, but with malaria-induced fever, the survival rate increased to 60%. The survival rate was doubled. For this work, he was awarded the Nobel Prize in Medicine in 1927. Although high fever causes pain in humans, it also signals that the immune system is active. Recognize patterns to solve problems. - Joseph’s “just my thoughts”
What constitutes good content? The deliverable content to the public can be classified into two main categories. “Content that only I want to know” and “Content that I want others to know”. The former is usually a secret core value and the latter might be a lesson that needs to be learned and desires others to know. Criticism that cuts to the heart of the matter and that everyone agrees with will spread more quickly to the community. On the other side content that only I want to know won't spread easily to avoid competitors although the content is simultaneously precious to me. Even good content doesn't get shared widely and quickly. Instead of concentrating our endeavors on well-done production, we have to analyze the character of the content and consider the delivery method that fits the content. - Joseph's “just my thoughts”
