Showing posts with the label usefulness

Just my thoughts #0543

Macroscopic and microscopic perspectives sometimes reveal contradictions or conflicts of logic. We must consider the variable of time when forming our thoughts and judgments, because in many cases what is considered right macroscopically may not be appropriate microscopically. In stock investing, stocks deemed correct from a long-term view are often seen as poorly chosen from a short-term perspective. Our values and judgments are sometimes praised and at other times criticized over a certain period. It seems like an innocent prank over time. - Joseph’s “just my thoughts”

There’s a saying that after a flood, no water is left to drink. Those who see this as a metaphor grasp that it signifies that “usefulness” outweighs “quantity.” In contrast, literal interpreters might invest in stocks for “mineral water” due to an anticipated rise in demand for bottled water post-flood. This illustrates how interpretation and action can diverge significantly. - Joseph’s “just my thoughts”

Diamonds are useless but expensive. At best, the usefulness of diamonds is just a hardness. There are many beautiful colored gems other than diamonds in the world. Paradoxically, diamonds are worth more because they are useless. A way for the rich to show off their wealth is to show that even if it is futile, they can pay for what others cannot. It is not the only value that is useful in the world. Value purely comes from a human. Focus on how human needs arise. - Joseph’s “just my thoughts”
