People understand that a brand is established when it is named. However, a brand requires a named entity, and that entity must be cherished by consumers. This means there must be prior production, followed by a name. The essence of branding lies in manufacturing. Capital is necessary to produce goods that meet consumer needs. Individuals can create a brand simply by distributing products made by others, but they will eventually face limitations. Manufacturing capacity is crucial to branding, and most of the world’s renowned brands emerge from this productivity. Don’t confuse this with branding by merely assigning a name. They will soon find themselves in trouble if they mistakenly think they are branding without securing manufacturing capacity. Even if you don’t own a manufacturing facility, branding becomes simpler if you establish the ability and framework to control those facilities and raw materials. - Joseph’s “just my thoughts”
Identifying my existence prompts the question: how can I prove it? We can define existence in biological terms, but first, we must approach it philosophically. This is achieved through the concept of a “statement.” The expressions “I am OO” or “you are OO” serve as philosophical assertions rather than scientific proof. If we dismiss the significance and authority of these statements, we encounter numerous problems and discomfort, as they lead me to doubt everyone I encounter. Statements are the fundamental components of a narrative. They delineate existence, with definitions articulated through sentences that create the story’s context. This entire framework is referred to as a “narrative.” - Joseph’s “just my thoughts”
