Adequacy : Moderate and appropriate nature. In the early days of the Roman Empire , Emperor Tiberius hosted a grand feast and invited an inventor. The inventor presented a glass as a gift, and the emperor inquired about its features. When the inventor claimed that the glass was unbreakable , the emperor dropped it on the floor. Only one side was dented, and the emperor touched that spot, restoring it to its original condition. Astonished, the emperor asked the inventor, “Have you ever taught anyone how to make this glass?” The inventor replied, “I did not tell anyone.” Then the emperor ordered his execution because if the recipe for the glass were known, the value of the emperor’s gold and silver treasures would plummet. No matter how excellent something is, it can be the worst depending on the situation and context. That’s why adequacy is essential. - Joseph’s “just my thoughts”
In primitive times, there was no such thing as ‘ coincidence ’ because all unknown and unpredictable events were interpreted as divine revelation . This reflects a religious and deterministic worldview. Since Christianity was dominant in the West, science also developed based on this deterministic perspective . However, with the rise of quantum mechanics , it has been revealed that the natural world we live in exists in an indeterminate state . Matter is in an uncertain state and becomes determined only when observed by an observer. In other words, the act of observation influences the behavior of the object being observed. To exist and to observe is a deeply metaphysical phenomenon . Do coincidences truly exist? When a decision was made in an undecided state, did God already know the outcome? How much freedom and discretion do humans really have? Does free will truly exist? - Joseph’s “just my thoughts”
