If the means of value exchange is recognized only in the fiat currency issued by the government, the accumulation of wealth that has taken place can only be expressed in terms of value versus fiat currency. Due to the limited quantity of money, if I make money, someone will lose it. In other words, my profit is someone’s loss. Of course, the opposite is also true. Therefore, it is said that currency possesses the property of ‘goods’ whose value changes according to market functions. So, is there a structure where everyone can gain profits, rather than a game where someone loses while someone else earns? This essence will not change, but the methods by which productivity grows and the ability to create added value will improve, creating the best win-win system in the current scenario. If we must share a pizza, making a larger pizza itself is akin to making everyone happier than before. - Joseph’s “just my thoughts”
Even if a work of art or technique that imitates a person is overly clumsy, the favorability declines; conversely, if it is too similar, the favorability drops sharply. This heterogeneous discomfort is known as the “uncanny valley.” Considering these properties, we create robots or create animations. Although technological advancements have made it increasingly difficult to distinguish between live-action and animation, Pixar’s animation clearly shows traces of trying to avoid this uncanny valley. Humans admire these creations, yet they, too, have wrestled with the duality of their nature, as they simultaneously enjoy and dislike it. - Joseph’s “just my thoughts”
