Sometimes one event causes another. In such cases, the first event is often the result of a previous event that led to it. For example, if you roll a die and get a 3, that result already includes the number 3 on the die. If that’s the case, then we should consider that the number of ‘beings born’ in this world is very small compared to ‘things that never came into existence.’ ‘Coincidence’ is thinking that something can happen randomly, and ‘intention’ is excluding the birth of other things to make it happen. - Joseph’s “just my thoughts”

Wrong Compensation. A semiconductor chip maker conducted an experiment. Workers worked four days a week and took a break. On the first workday, Monday, if they produced a certain number of chips, the company gave them a $30 bonus to motivate their work. However, there was no compensation for the remaining three days. The same bonus was offered again when work resumed after the holidays.

Consequently, the organization could become a dysfunctional environment. - Joseph’s “just my thoughts”

If social media doesn't have a “Like” or “Comment” feature, there is just a post and claim… The consent of others is “intermittent variable compensation.” Without compensation, we can't sustain to do anything. It is a problem even if there is always compensation. This is because compensation is taken for granted. If so, the rewards you take for granted will not function. It is “gambling” that this “intermittent variable compensation” works well. - Joseph’s “just my thoughts”
