Anticipation and Verisimilitude: The degree to which a creator convinces audiences that a work is authentic and trustworthy is called verisimilitude . Verisimilitude relies on anticipations. For example, people view photography as a realistic medium, while they consider painting to be non-realistic. Consequently, they see picturesque photos and hyperrealistic paintings as valuable. In other words, scarcity and value are found only in works that either meet anticipations related to verisimilitude or fantasies. Content that lies in the middle often tends to underperform at the box office. - Joseph’s “just my thoughts”
The number of gas stations along the road decreases as vehicle mileage increases. If you do not understand your business ecosystem and only manage it diligently, the consequences will stay with you. A gas station is a subordinate part of a car. Therefore, changes in car performance have a ripple effect on many related industries. I must constantly monitor and study the ecosystem in which I operate my business and decide how to respond when changes happen. The shift from internal combustion engines to electric vehicles also impacts gas stations. The world is changing rapidly right now. - Joseph’s “just my thoughts”
