One hundred seventy years ago, tuberculosis was a lethal disease. This illness posed a significant threat to humanity, resulting in an estimated 1 billion deaths between 1700 and 1900. Notably, traces of tuberculosis have been found in the mummies of ancient Egyptian kings. In the late 1840s, German botanist Hermann Brehmer, confronted with the fatality of tuberculosis, relocated to the Himalayas in search of fresh air. Remarkably, he survived and is believed to have successfully fought off Mycobacterium tuberculosis in that less favorable environment for bacterial growth. As a result, numerous nursing homes emerged across Europe and the United States, including specialized facilities for tuberculosis care and luxury accommodations for the affluent. However, by the 1940s, many of these nursing homes began closing due to the emergence of antibiotics, which drastically changed their economic viability. Throughout history, it seems that economic value often proves transient. - Joseph’s “j...

Trust acts as glue, binding individuals’ needs, while money operates like a magnet; when distance is introduced, it attracts unwanted elements. Essentially, trust enhances efficiency, whereas money, in the absence of trust, leads to avoidable expenses. When money substitutes for what trust should fulfill, inefficiency and waste significantly increase. - Joseph’s “just my thoughts”

Just my thoughts #0241

Business isn’t just about “doing something” — it’s about “building trust.” In running a café, my focus should be on fostering customer confidence in my service rather than simply selling coffee without consideration. Before making sales, establishing trust as a business owner should be a priority. Gaining experience by working part-time in another café can facilitate this trust-building process. When you create financial credibility, running out of money can harm your reputation. However, if you earn money through established trust, you can regenerate funds even after they have been depleted. Trust serves as the foundation of money and is central to successful business operations. - Joseph’s “just my thoughts”

Online sales have surpassed offline sales as a result of the global pandemic. Nowadays, people are purchasing signals instead of tangible items. The online environment is a web of signals. If the signal presented by the interface is not trustworthy, purchasing is not possible. For a long time, stocks have been traded based on signals that represent rights without requiring physical stock certificates. The same principle applies to gold. The challenge arises because both the tangible item and the signal react based on their value, but human greed leads to an oversupply of signals. This happens because creating a signal is much simpler than producing the actual item. The fundamental issue is that the signal serves as a representation of the tangible item. When there are more signals than tangible items, this discrepancy is termed a “bubble.” In offline contexts, signals are known as “cash.” Essentially, money is just a signal, and “trust” is crucial for believing in that signal. - Joseph...

A part-time worker at a fast-food chain put in a lot of effort. The worker’s dedication impressed the boss, leading to the firing of other part-timers and an increase in trust placed in this worker. As a result, the worker ended up with significantly more responsibilities while keeping the same salary. I reiterate that structure is more important than mere effort. - Joseph’s “just my thoughts”

Affection lacking temperance can turn into violence at any time. No matter how much you love, the other person may not ideally match your expectations, so the time comes when the beloved one wants to avoid the affection you’re pouring out or keep away for a while. A relationship that lacks experience in building trust through moderation has no power to continue when dissatisfaction and regret arise. A healthy relationship involves trusting that temperance is not rejection. Relationships, after all, are energy and power. - Joseph’s “just my thoughts”

Just my thoughts #0199

Humans and the world they inhabit are intricate. We build relationships with one another, rooted in unspoken agreements that reflect sentiments like trust and affection. When hostility arises, I begin to question the underlying implicit agreements. Someone else has a connection with me while being oblivious to my expectations. After experiencing emotional pain due to arguments, we often shift from these unspoken understandings to explicit communication, such as verbal conversations. Still, by then, it may be too late to heal the rift. - Joseph’s “just my thoughts”

If you've kept your word in every situation, borrowing from your neighbors may be more possible when you borrow money from others. That is, your financial trouble doesn't mean that you don't have any money, but it means that you don't have any credit from anyone. Currency has some value according to all people are constantly giving trust in exchangeable value, and money itself doesn't have any value at all. All values come from giving trust to something. Gaining credibility only, even pebbles on the street can be money. - Joseph’s “just my thoughts”

The reason that unboxing videos are so popular on YouTube is that consumers trust them. Consumers trust them to be on the side of the buyer, not the seller. Unboxing storytelling starts with the box and shows the product after it has been unpacked. It is entirely from the buyer's point of view. Sellers, on the other hand, want to show the product first. In the online world, being on consumers' side is more trustworthy than being honest and accurate - but that doesn't mean it's less important. If you need to earn trust, you should prove that you're on the customers' side. - Joseph’s “just my thoughts”

Just my thoughts #0011

On the economic front, a relationship that believes in each other is much more beneficial than an untrustworthy relationship. Disbelief results in inefficiency and leads to increased costs. Nevertheless, most of us choose to be distrustful because our experiences of loss from betraying after we have trusted someone are clearly visible and the benefits of cost savings by trusting someone are invisible. My attitude toward the world determines my actions, in our distorted experience, we regret and conflict daily. Even though we know it's a loss, we continue to cling to our foolish choices. - Joseph’s "just my thoughts"
