Initially, humans could not draw as they perceived. It was only after the discovery of perspective that they could accurately draw what they saw. Perspective was first applied to performance stages in Greece during the 5th century BC, and it was not until the 15th century that the Italian architect Brunelleschi succeeded in expressing a three-dimensional perspective on a two-dimensional plane. In the long history of humanity, the period of applying perspective is quite brief. Perspective painting represents a virtual depiction of reality. In other words, the first instance of visualizing something virtual is perspective. People speak as if the metaverse is a significant industry today, but the virtual realization through perspective began long before the digital era. Currently, it’s only visually represented digitally. Understanding the essence of this can help you mitigate risk, even as times and circumstances evolve. - Joseph’s “just my thoughts”

Almost 90 years ago, Albert Einstein and Charlie Chaplin met at the premiere of the film “City Lights” in Los Angeles. Einstein said to Chaplin, “What I admire most about your art is its universality. You don’t say a word, yet the world understands you!” Chaplin replied, “True. But your glory is even greater! The whole world admires you, even though they don’t understand a word of what you say.” What is respect, and what is understanding? - Joseph’s “just my thoughts”
