No matter how smart you are, if you don’t exchange values, you’ll starve to death. For one thing, being self-sufficient enables survival, but self-sufficiency is only possible if you have your own assets and can borrow from others. However, even with existing assets, one can only survive through minimal labor and effort, which means engaging in productive activities. Thus, having great intelligence and applying that intelligence to productive activities are two different things. Even if you aren’t brilliant, you can survive if you are productive. It’s essential to identify the productive activities in which I excel and those where I need improvement. If I understand that, I must act without looking back. - Joseph’s “just my thoughts”
To obtain the information we seek, we invest time and effort in searching. During this process, there is a cost known as “information search cost.” If the search costs exceed the value of the information we wish to obtain, it is deemed inefficient; people generally aim to avoid inefficiency. For instance, if a billionaire spends considerable effort searching for a car for less than 90,000 USD, then the billionaire will just buy because it is inefficient. Cost-effectiveness in the economic world judgment is a crucial factor to get dominion world we’re living in. - Joseph’s “just my thoughts”
