This world is designed to favor the elderly. Gaining experience through trial and error first means that you have a competitive advantage over latecomers. It also occupies an advantageous position in social organization. This is the advantage that arises from being the first to start. However, the statement that 1 plus 1 equals 2 can be understood without any experience; it serves as an analytic proposition that can be known by reason compared to the aforementioned experiential proposition. In other words, in the realm of analytic propositions, the advantage of being older does not hold much weight. The world needs both experiential propositions and analytic propositions, but experience is not always essential. - Joseph’s “just my thoughts”
One person gives freely yet gains even more; another withholds unduly, but comes to poverty. (Proverbs 11:24) This is a record from the Old Testament. It should not be interpreted as an endorsement of wastefulness. Wealth is not determined by the amount of income and expenditure but rather by purpose, relationships, and the timing of the purpose-fit-management. - Joseph’s “just my thoughts”
