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”

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”
