Paradoxically, one of the reasons for Rome’s demise was that it kept winning wars. Victories expanded the empire’s territory, and the risks increased proportionally. Men, primarily middle-class men, volunteered as soldiers; the larger the territory, the longer the wars lasted, and the longer it took for them to return home. The women who remained at home were forced to borrow labor and became indebted to the nobility. Eventually, the women were sold into slavery, and by the time the men returned, their families had disintegrated. People don’t betray because they’re evil, but because it increases their risk. If the territory you’re in grows, you might reconsider your loyalties to the organization. - Joseph’s “just my thoughts”

When desire intersects with imagination, a product emerges. A product driven solely by desire tends to be unappealing and struggles to capture market interest. Conversely, one built solely on imagination may fall short in practicality and fail to deliver full satisfaction. Desire fuels imagination, while imagination brings us closer to fulfillment. Integrating design into this process constitutes product planning, which brings the product to fruition. - Joseph’s “just my thoughts”

I believe that humans’ key activities are discovery and imagination. Humans grow through thought, which involves gathering information from the exploration of nature and society and organizing it meaningfully. Progress occurs when we connect with and apply this information beyond its immediate relevance, and this process of connection is termed imagination. Discovery serves as the foundational material for imagination, while imagination generates new outcomes through application, leading to development. - Joseph’s “just my thoughts”

Humans are bound by their experiences. The extent and depth of these experiences shape how time is perceived by individuals. Recognition occurs within a person’s unique time framework, which is distinct from physical time. Even sharing the same age, individuals experience time differently. In the absence of challenges, the scope of one’s experiences remains constrained, leading to a limited perception of time. Imagination draws from experience, broadening only through facing challenges and making attempts. Observing and immersing oneself in various experiences, such as travel, becomes valuable forms of learning that don’t require a teacher. - Joseph’s “just my thoughts”

The most important thing in product design and development is “imagination.” While others developed laptops to fit the size of the battery, Steve Jobs imagined a laptop that could fit in an envelope. Then he pressured the battery company. If no technology was available in those days, he would wait. He traveled around the world in search of technology that matched his imagination. He envisioned putting a workstation (OS•X) in a cellphone and developed it for 3 years, but when Apple couldn’t deliver, he demonstrated it by connecting it to a separate workstation. It was a scam, but no one criticized him. - Joseph’s “just my thoughts”

History professor Yuval Noah Harari said, "The most distinguishing feature between humans and other animals is the ability to believe not exist imagination." If you eat a banana exchanged with a bill from the chimpanzee, then the chimpanzee must be angry with you. The bill is just a thing to believe non-existent imagination each other in the human world, it's never important and meaningful for the chimpanzee. Unless the belief is to exchange the value, the money is just paper. This belief makes our social community. - Joseph's "just my thoughts"
