To be complex, one must first be simple. Because, unless it’s simple, it’s hard to get complicated. Every complex problem is a combination of simple problems. People tend to think that intelligence is complex. However, in hindsight, memory is just a continuation and connection of simplicity made up of thoughtful ingredients. Still, it is burdensome and complicated to find simplicity in an already complex system. Therefore, the pursuit of simplicity is a burdensome decision, one that requires a willingness to understand this complexity first. Growing up in the mind means taking on this burden and being willing to take on the challenge of finding simplicity in a formally complex system. It’s like a child taking their first steps, trying to get up while risking falling with their whole body. - Joseph’s “just my thoughts”
The value and nature of stocks depend on how much money a company can potentially make for me in the future. In other words, it’s not the present value, but the future value that matters. It’s crucial to be able to provide profits consistently over time. In accounting, this concept is referred to as “going concern.” When you evaluate what you’re doing right now (job, business, investment, etc.) in terms of sustaining revenue generation, many conflicts and considerations diminish because your judgment becomes clearer. - Joseph’s “just my thoughts”
