Just my thoughts #0170

The Japanese restaurant “Hyakushokuya” doesn't hire passionate people. The first recruiter was someone who left out his resume. There are only three menus, and only 100 bowls are sold daily. It's simple, so you learn things in a week even if you're not an expert. Still, the average daily revenue is 130,000 yen. The book's title published by founder “Akemi Nakamura” is “Let's Reduce Sales.” Against performance-oriented management policies. They want reasonable management activities suitable for fractions without overdoing it. However, it was the best-selling company during the Covid-19 pandemic crisis. - Joseph’s “just my thoughts”

Some wonder why ethics and mission are necessary in business, even if the company is doing well to make money. A transaction is an exchange of satisfying needs and accepting values. Both are linked to “morality”. All transactions last with trust. The basis of trust is morality. Anyone can make a mistake, but it is moral to make up for it. It is easy to choose to violate that morality by continuing to trade, but sometimes you can make a decision that cannot be recovered without a moral standard. This is not a mistake. - Joseph’s “just my thoughts”

There is a study called “design ethics”. You may wonder if the design requires ethics, but it is crucial from the point of view of “addiction”. Among gambling games, “slot machine” is four times more addictive than other games. This is because the rewards of the game are variable. Some designers link this addiction to making money. For example, a screen with an infinite scroll function can take up a person's time. Ethics are necessary and important in all areas. - Joseph’s “just my thoughts”

Religion creates “power” through architectural space. Space creates power without the situation having power. The pews of the church limit movement because of the people at either end once seated. The congregation has no choice but to face the priesthood in the pulpit. “Power” is created when many people pay attention to one. Restricting the services of the Church to the Covid-19 crisis is not just a reduction in the finances of the Church. It foreshadows a serious shift in religious power. Islam did not solve this problem with space. Islam solved it by praying in the right direction at the right time. Rules also make power. - Joseph’s “just my thoughts”

Vaccines have enabled humans to travel the world. Migration and aggregation are vaccine benefits. When the vaccine could not resolve the epidemic, it was eventually solved with a “space.” That is why it is necessary to put “social distance.” Hunting requires one million square meters of space to solve a person's livelihood, but urbanization prevents many people from gaining space on that scale. However, if agriculture, 500 square meters can solve the livelihood, and efficiency increases 2,000 times. The viewpoint of the epidemic is the eye that interprets civilization. - Joseph’s “just my thoughts”

Architecture has evolved to address the epidemic. The city was formed to avoid the outbreak. However, its high population density makes it vulnerable to epidemics. The solution to this problem is to build a water supply and sewerage system. It protects humans from water-borne infectious diseases (e.g., cholera) by separating water and sewage and burying them underground. Nevertheless, the invention of the vaccine has made a megacity of more than 10 million people possible. In fact, the Earth is dominated by microorganisms. - Joseph’s “just my thoughts”

The first civilizations of mankind originated in arid climates. The Mesopotamian and Egyptian civilizations are examples. A city is relatively safe from infectious diseases if it is drier than wet. The key is water. It is a river where there is water while it is dry. Therefore, the shape and location of the river are important. A dry, watery zone is formed when the river flows from north to south. In other words, the city was born under the influence of disease. - Joseph’s “just my thoughts”

When it comes to people, what is more frightening, guns or bullets? Of course, it is a gun. People are more sensitive to direct threats than indirect threats. The invisible is not afraid. The essence of fear comes from the “unknown,” but it also comes into contact with calculations that seem more likely to be a threat. The free time that threats have not yet been implemented plays a rich soil in corruption and crime. However, the guns and bullets are all scary. - Joseph’s “just my thoughts”
