Just as there is a distinction between rich and poor, there are also wealthy and impoverished thoughts. If you think poorly, you become poor. The mark of impoverished thinking is dwelling on the past instead of embracing the present. It’s said that the past was better, unable to accept the progress of the current system. When comparing the two, people often value what is familiar more than what is better. As a result, they make a less favorable choice and justify it. There is a pitfall in familiarity. - 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”
