Just my thoughts #0171

Painting is media and power. The mural in the medieval cathedral was considered for the illiterate who could not read the Bible. Only priests had access to type information. This was power. The Reformation weakened this power. New media changes the power. It creates power or moves. Our daily lives exist in this power. Writing, photography, and graphics still influence power. If you need help understanding the power change or shift, you do half art and half business. - Joseph’s “just my thoughts”

Rather than building more houses to catch skyrocketing real estate prices, investing in transportation infrastructure is more effective. An office worker unable to afford London's murderous rent moved to Barcelona, Spain, to live in a three-room house. He commuted to low-cost airline Ryanair for about £ 300 less than commuting from London (as of 2017: £ 580 house rent + £ 778 transportation fee = £ 1,358). The transportation environment changes our lives. Thoughts can't keep up with the change. - Joseph’s “just my thoughts”

Zebra appears in the animation Madagascar. He also wants to return to his hometown because he is confused about whether he is white on a black background or black on a white background. There is no difference in the background and pattern change. In zebras, “horse” is the identity, not the striped pattern. The pattern is just a feature. Many people confuse features with identity. - Joseph’s “just my thoughts”

If social media doesn't have a “Like” or “Comment” feature, there is just a post and claim… The consent of others is “intermittent variable compensation.” Without compensation, we can't sustain to do anything. It is a problem even if there is always compensation. This is because compensation is taken for granted. If so, the rewards you take for granted will not function. It is “gambling” that this “intermittent variable compensation” works well. - Joseph’s “just my thoughts”

Extending a loan is buying time with money. However, banks turn time into money. Purchase time with cash makes you poor, but changing time with money makes you rich. To pay off your debt, you have to change your time into cash and buy money (debt) with that money. All economic activity is an attempt to turn time into money. - Joseph’s “just my thoughts”

It is called “fate” that the choice is not given. Choosing in the hope of good results is called “effort,” and the process of paying the price for even bad results come out is called “responsibility.” No matter how valuable your efforts and responsibilities are, they are all worthless without “fate” as the background of your choice. - Joseph’s “just my thoughts”

Humans are disappointed, frustrated, and angry because they can't do what they want. But what would the world be like if everyone's will were different and everyone could do it at their discretion? Things I can't choose, things I can't control, and sometimes I appreciate it. - Joseph’s “just my thoughts”

Music is the flow of time. It is an art that divides a predetermined time and promises when to pronounce it. Musicians who break time promises are not entitled to music. It is an act of desecrating the sublime art of music. - Joseph’s “just my thoughts”
