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”
Interpreting or translating foreign languages, social phenomena, and new knowledge to explain and inform the public represents a position of power. Interpreters and communicators draw public attention and share information, generating power through public acceptance. Trust is the essence of power. Power is not merely about the strength of force but rather the direction and purpose behind its use. The more intelligent and educated you are, the greater your responsibility in wielding power. It is a misfortune for society as a whole if power remains untapped or is misused. - Joseph’s “just my thoughts”
