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”
People say content is money. That may be true, but money itself is also a type of content. Money is a way to exchange value or build wealth, but it also carries humanity’s stories. We cry and laugh because of money. Money reflects the rise and fall of empires or nations, hiding great stories inside it. Most top YouTube channels focus on content about money and wealth. We often hallucinate money with content. However, we don’t realize that money itself is an ingredient of content. - Joseph’s “just my thoughts”
