Just my thoughts #0803

Iteration and Optimization: It would be great to do something well on the first try, but humans are not perfect. To do it well, you need to go through repeated failures and successes, and during that process, you have to identify the pattern that works best for you. This process is called optimization. Optimization requires iteration. Efficiency and profits are guaranteed by repeating a process until a particular singularity is achieved, thereby maintaining that level of excellence. The general rule for success in society is to iterate and keep optimizing. Being consistent is the fastest way to improve. - Joseph’s “just my thoughts”

Just my thoughts #0027

In the USA, even in one country, the time difference between the west and the east is 3 hours. People thought that time was a natural thing. But it is not. It's very political. The time that man lives in a unit of minutes is too short. However, since the invention of the steam locomotive, the appearance of faster vehicles made crazy changes to the concept of time. The shift in distance made people realize what time was. Sandford Fleming, an engineer and inventor, asked to unify the time difference caused by long-distance transportation, but people rejected his request. If the boarding time were not fixed, the railroad would be useless. The history of the 24-hour clock was made only about 140 years ago. Even with the invention of high technology, if nothing is consensus, nothing benefits. - Joseph's "just my thoughts"

Human beings don't know the substance of time. The time we know is only a sign expressed mathematically and astronomically by the machine "clock." Human life under the minute-unit system began when human beings lived with a comparatively precise machine. Before the Industrial Revolution, a concept of time naturally followed the ordinary way of life. When a promise was made, the condition was, "Let's meet before dinner." Therefore, there was a rare case of people angrily going outside because the counterparty was 10 minutes late. The framework that the human being makes, makes the human being again. - Joseph's "just my thoughts"

Time is a religious and political concept. In the history of mankind, the church first controlled time and later by the government. The church's bell tower and the city hall's clock tower are proof of this. A person who rules over time is a ruler and a true authority. - Joseph's "just my thoughts"
