Metaphysics and Concrete Science: A CEO needs both qualities. When a CEO leans more toward metaphysics, they focus on philosophical values to improve the business, which helps for future growth. However, there’s a high risk the business could fail because profits aren’t guaranteed immediately. Conversely, if a CEO emphasizes concrete science more, they can secure profits immediately, but this approach might harm long-term growth. It may seem contradictory at first, but a good CEO must have both. To succeed, you need a noble philosophy and immediate profits simultaneously. Embracing contradictions enables survival. - Joseph’s “just my thoughts”
A big supermarket can do business in the suburbs because of wheels. If someone asked me what is one of the greatest inventions in human history that civilization has ever developed, I would say "wheels." The automobile is also a wheel. Shopping carts are also wheels. Without wheels, how many people would go far and carry heavy loads? Mass distribution is possible because of wheels. To do bulk sales, you have to have a lot of inventory. That means you need a lot of storage space. It also means you need cheap real estate. The trivial circle, the wheel, is the key to solving all these constraints in one shot. - Joseph’s “just my thoughts”
