There are two primary approaches to creating something: bottom-up design and top-down design . Top-down design is often seen in architecture. People do not build bricks randomly; instead, they follow the design drawings created by the architect. This method executes a plan that has already been established. When asked why something is built in a certain way, the answer is usually that the blueprint dictates its design. Conversely, bottom-up design does not start with a fixed goal, but rather involves setting and implementing small, actionable rules. For example, termite nests follow this approach. Small termites have a simple rule: to pile up soil. They do this without knowing the reason, but over time, the finished structure is remarkable and sophisticated. The appearance of the Sagrada Familia church , designed by Antoni Gaudà and still under construction, closely resembles a termite nest, differing only in size. Setting goals and planning is one way to create, but actual achievem...
Convergence : A phenomenon where a specific value or level moves toward a certain standard . A bubble occurs when a community’s value rises excessively due to overestimation , while an undervalued state is the opposite. Both eventually settle at a balanced value recognized by the community , called convergence. Bubbles and undervaluation represent states at any given time. If a seller sets a product at an excessively high price, it won’t sell indefinitely, and the seller will eventually lower the price. Market prices tend to converge. There isn’t a single correct market value, but converged values exist, and this phenomenon gives the market its meaning and existence. There’s no need to be arrogant when doing well, as your high wages will eventually align with the market price. - Joseph’s “just my thoughts”
