Metaphysics and Concrete Science: A CEO needs both qualities. When a CEO leans more toward metaphysics, they focus on philosophical values to improve the business, which helps for future growth. However, there’s a high risk the business could fail because profits aren’t guaranteed immediately. Conversely, if a CEO emphasizes concrete science more, they can secure profits immediately, but this approach might harm long-term growth. It may seem contradictory at first, but a good CEO must have both. To succeed, you need a noble philosophy and immediate profits simultaneously. Embracing contradictions enables survival. - Joseph’s “just my thoughts”

The human tongue identifies five distinct tastes. With the exception of sourness, the other tastes alert us to vital nutrients necessary for human survival. So, what is the importance of acidity? The sensation of sourness arises from the concentration of hydrogen ions (H+) present in water. As the concentration of hydrogen ions rises, the pH level lowers, leading to increased acidity and a stronger sour flavor. Sourness is both the most appreciated and least favored taste among humans. We utilize the scent of decay along with the sour flavor to differentiate between edible and inedible food. When ripening occurs appropriately, it is termed “fermentation,” while excessive ripening is referred to as “rotting.” Fermentation indicates that food is safe to eat, whereas rotting signifies that it should be discarded. In essence, acidity is fundamentally tied to human survival. - Joseph’s “just my thoughts”
