Anticipation and Verisimilitude: The degree to which a creator convinces audiences that a work is authentic and trustworthy is called verisimilitude . Verisimilitude relies on anticipations. For example, people view photography as a realistic medium, while they consider painting to be non-realistic. Consequently, they see picturesque photos and hyperrealistic paintings as valuable. In other words, scarcity and value are found only in works that either meet anticipations related to verisimilitude or fantasies. Content that lies in the middle often tends to underperform at the box office. - Joseph’s “just my thoughts”
The banana tree is not actually a tree; it is a type of grass. The reason the stalks of this grass are mistaken for trees is that the stalks of bananas accumulate and become hard. Wild bananas contain seeds, but the bananas we eat today are one of the “Cavendish” varieties. People discovered and popularized a seedless mutation for commercial purposes. So, how do bananas grow without seeds? Once a banana has attached, it does not grow again from the same stalk, so the farmer cuts it away. Bananas propagate by transplanting roots that grow next to the severed stems. Therefore, edible bananas around the world share almost identical genetic DNA. Thus, if bananas become diseased, there is a high likelihood of complete annihilation. For life, diversity is an essential condition for survival, and the same applies to companies. - Joseph’s “just my thoughts”
