Text and images emerge from thoughts. Although the thought is ‘abstract,’ the text and images are ‘conceived.’ In transforming abstraction into conception, we genuinely realize reason and ultimately awaken knowledge. We cannot comprehend something if we merely see and hear. We don’t write because we know it; rather, we come to know through writing. Design doesn’t originate from good ideas but stems from validating thoughts through ample inspiration. Just as skillful typing doesn’t guarantee good writing, proficiently using drawing software doesn’t ensure good design. - 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”
