Just my thoughts #0692

The world we live in is not a simple system but a complex one. However, human history has often been seen as a simple system due to religious beliefs and ideology. Science was also viewed as straightforward. But as quantum mechanics advanced in recent times, it has become increasingly difficult to explain or interpret the phenomena of this world from the perspective of a simple system. The world of wealth-generating investing is no different. In a simple system, the ability to perform multiple functions at once, called ‘multi,’ is beneficial. Yet, in a complex system, having ‘insight (meta)’ to understand multi-dimensionality becomes crucial. Intuition to grasp connectivity has gained more importance. - Joseph’s “just my thoughts”

Just my thoughts #0192

Eco bags are not eco-friendly. In 2007, the eco-bags, which British designer Anya Hindmarch printed, “I’m Not a Plastic Bag” on canvas, sold out 20,000 copies in 30 minutes at a limited edition price of 5 pounds. The project reduced the use of plastic bags by 58% over the next two years in Britain. However, a survey by the British Environment Agency found that consumers used paper bags at least 3 times more to have less environmental impact than plastic bags and used eco bags 131 times more to help protect the environment. In 2018, Denmark also announced a study that indicated people used plastic bags at least 37 times, paper bags 43 times, and eco bags 7,100 times before being discarded to recover from pollution. Yes, the facts that people believe have cheated us all. Materials and consumption are necessary, but people belatedly realized that environmental protection should also consider product use cycles and production. - Joseph’s “just my thoughts”
