This world is designed to favor the elderly. Gaining experience through trial and error first means that you have a competitive advantage over latecomers. It also occupies an advantageous position in social organization. This is the advantage that arises from being the first to start. However, the statement that 1 plus 1 equals 2 can be understood without any experience; it serves as an analytic proposition that can be known by reason compared to the aforementioned experiential proposition. In other words, in the realm of analytic propositions, the advantage of being older does not hold much weight. The world needs both experiential propositions and analytic propositions, but experience is not always essential. - Joseph’s “just my thoughts”
All added values must be expressed in terms of ‘Price’ to create a ‘transaction’, and only when a transaction is concluded is the added value realized. Even if you possess added value but no transactions occur, the value cannot be realized in a self-transaction; it merely exists as intrinsic value. Wealth is formed only when the added value is realized and accumulated, making a ‘transaction’ essential. This implies that the formation of wealth requires a “party to deal with (counterparty).” This is known as a ‘customer’; some of them purchase your value, while others may be your competitors or disruptors who could diminish your added value or hinder its realization. Therefore, it is crucial to understand precisely what kind of person or company is acquiring your value-added. Not all deals are beneficial to you. If you cannot make this judgment, you are merely doing what is often termed “something good” for others, rather than for yourself. - Joseph’s “just my thoughts”
