Just my thoughts #0261

One hundred seventy years ago, tuberculosis was a lethal disease. This illness posed a significant threat to humanity, resulting in an estimated 1 billion deaths between 1700 and 1900. Notably, traces of tuberculosis have been found in the mummies of ancient Egyptian kings. In the late 1840s, German botanist Hermann Brehmer, confronted with the fatality of tuberculosis, relocated to the Himalayas in search of fresh air. Remarkably, he survived and is believed to have successfully fought off Mycobacterium tuberculosis in that less favorable environment for bacterial growth. As a result, numerous nursing homes emerged across Europe and the United States, including specialized facilities for tuberculosis care and luxury accommodations for the affluent. However, by the 1940s, many of these nursing homes began closing due to the emergence of antibiotics, which drastically changed their economic viability. Throughout history, it seems that economic value often proves transient. - Joseph’s “j...

The format influences the content. Does coffee served in an attractive cup taste better? Short pants look stylish on some occasions, while others seem tacky or absurd. Why do the same jeans have such varying perceptions? Factors like who wears them, the type of fabric, and the context define their coolness or sloppiness. Effective communication relies on a format that is worthy of quality content. - Joseph’s “just my thoughts”

The phenomenon of making choices that contradict one’s genuine feelings in order to avoid isolation or blend in with others is termed the “Abilene Paradox.” Such paradoxes occur when a group’s choice results in unfavorable outcomes, even as a member publicly endorses it while secretly criticizing the group’s original decision. This situation often arises from individuals fearing that voicing their discomfort may disturb others, particularly in settings that suppress authentic emotional expression. This underscores the difficulty of effective organizational communication and emphasizes the vital role that leadership plays in any organization. - Joseph’s “just my thoughts”

Online marketing and social media involve more than just showcasing personal content or creating a distinct identity; it’s about attracting online visitors to my side. To establish this identity, it’s crucial to clearly define who you are. Without gaining others’ understanding of your actions, beliefs, and preferences, you cannot create a meaningful personal brand. Once you express your identity and interests, the next step is to communicate effectively. Communication is vital for earning the trust and support of others. Through communication, you reveal your personality and character, which can either foster closeness or create distance. This highlights why personality and character play a crucial role in my business; they are essential for forming meaningful connections online. - Joseph’s “just my thoughts”

Consider your state before speaking. This is because, no matter how much you consider others first, you will inevitably experience distortions in communication. As a result, the efficiency of delivering the truth is significantly reduced. - Joseph’s “just my thoughts”

In September 1999, NASA’s unmanned Mars climate probe “MCO” exploded in Mars’ orbit. Manufacturer Lockheed Martin set up the data unit as a “yard,” but NASA mistook it as a “meter.” The MCO entered the atmosphere of Mars 100 km below the original orbit and exploded in friction. Communication error had blown away $ 125 million. With this opportunity, NASA decided that the units used in space development were “meters”. A slip of the tongue in business doesn’t end just a mistake accidentally. It must undoubtedly damage the “cash flow”. - Joseph’s “just my thoughts”

Expertise is not “to know only me,” but “to make understanding others to know with what only I know for.” It is not expertise if I cannot persuade others by overwhelming them with my things. The expertise that failed to convince and communicate is called “stubbornness”. “Collective intelligence” is the expertise that succeeds in persuasion and communication, and does not mean a stubbornness that enforces consensus. - Joseph’s “just my thoughts”

Facts and fake news coexist on social media. So do claims and counterclaims. In theory, the new communication tools of social media give them equal opportunities to express themselves. It's a communication environment, unlike anything humanity has ever known. A great way to make your voice heard in this environment is to state your beliefs and connect with the people who support those beliefs through social media. Social media will connect you with sympathetic people, no matter how illogical or unpersuasive your beliefs. Traditional media can't structurally accommodate this mechanism, but it's a reality. - Joseph's "just my thoughts"

For the security of the Internet service, we have been asked by the Internet service companies to set the password combined by more than 8 or 10 "uppercase letter+lowercase letter+number+special character". But it was obviously of no use. This security guideline was recommended by Bill Burr who worked at NIST in the USA, he suggested this way in his report. Furthermore, the user was required to change the initial password set regularly. Despite this measure, the best way of security to protect users' accounts was the notification of the alarm for attempted hacking when the hacker tried. We have only tried to change the keys despite the simple method meanwhile. Today, the world has begun to comprehend that the security problem is not encryption or confidentiality, but simply cyber-dominion control and communication. - Joseph's "just my thoughts"

Just my thoughts #0016

Before the high level of civilization, human life was tribal. However human beings were needed for the large-scale labor force for industrialization, so people were gathering in the cities for a living. That was the detribalization. These days when we are developed by social media, people are used to selectively make a relationship with those who have similar philosophies and preferences. Rather, the new media makes the retribalization in different meanings. Therefore, now human relationships are becoming more important the interests and preferences. When choosing to make a relationship, people gather according to their preferences. Communication is narrower and more easily ostracized. - Joseph’s “just my thoughts”
