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 Awakening Formula: [Mine = all of my properties - borrowed - inherited - gifted - stolen - cheated out of]. If you exceed this “mine,” it’s time to wake up. All economic activities should commence with the amount you consider to be a genuine “mine.” It is essential to view it as a sin to enjoy anything “first” or “more” than that. Caring for what belongs to you is the initial step toward success and the foundation of life. - Joseph’s “just my thoughts”
