An asset is the foundation of all economic activity. If you have assets, you can run a business and settle your debts. The ways to create assets are ‘how one works,’ ‘how to receive gifts from others,’ and ‘how to purchase assets made by others.’ There is a way to steal, but it is a crime. If you don’t initially own an asset, the simplest and almost the only way to create one is to produce something with your own labor. Whether the product is a service or a good, it must be produced unconditionally. Trading products creates added value. Thinking about trading later and making products first is the fastest and most basic way to escape poverty. Therefore, produce even the smallest things every day.

In 1958, German psychopathologist Klaus Conrad introduced the term “Apophenia” to define the cognitive process of identifying patterns and connections between entirely unrelated ideas. While this phenomenon significantly contributes to human creativity, it can also result in misconceptions or mistakes. This type of error is referred to as “Pareidolia.” Interestingly, both maniacs and geniuses may stem from similar origins. - Joseph’s “just my thoughts”
