Iteration and Optimization: It would be great to do something well on the first try, but humans are not perfect. To do it well, you need to go through repeated failures and successes, and during that process, you have to identify the pattern that works best for you. This process is called optimization. Optimization requires iteration. Efficiency and profits are guaranteed by repeating a process until a particular singularity is achieved, thereby maintaining that level of excellence. The general rule for success in society is to iterate and keep optimizing. Being consistent is the fastest way to improve. - Joseph’s “just my thoughts”
In the 18th century, when the sun went down, people slept except for the rich man who could afford a candle. Humans lived in harmony with the natural rhythm. When machines created an industrial society and replaced human labor, people did not reduce their work but instead operated according to the machine’s working cycle. Charlie Chaplin criticized this phenomenon in his movie “Modern Times,” highlighting how mechanization forces humans to work with unprecedented intensity. Now, humans are concerned that artificial intelligence and robotic automation will diminish labor and lead to unemployment. What a contradiction! Rest is not an automatic benefit; it is a holy declaration of war that I must strive to achieve, not to disturb my rest on purpose. - Joseph’s “just my thoughts”
