To be complex, one must first be simple. Because, unless it’s simple, it’s hard to get complicated. Every complex problem is a combination of simple problems. People tend to think that intelligence is complex. However, in hindsight, memory is just a continuation and connection of simplicity made up of thoughtful ingredients. Still, it is burdensome and complicated to find simplicity in an already complex system. Therefore, the pursuit of simplicity is a burdensome decision, one that requires a willingness to understand this complexity first. Growing up in the mind means taking on this burden and being willing to take on the challenge of finding simplicity in a formally complex system. It’s like a child taking their first steps, trying to get up while risking falling with their whole body. - Joseph’s “just my thoughts”
Toms Shoes is synonymous with justification marketing through charity. People first praised the idea that if you buy one pair of shoes, you donate another pair to developing countries for free. However, soon after, the donation was criticized by findings from an NGO that indicated it took away jobs for youth in the area. Toms Shoes eventually faced a bankruptcy crisis and decided to hand over management to its creditors. Are there any “good things” in the world? In this hyper-connected society that humanity has never experienced, it is difficult to prevent the deterioration of good intentions or control their effects as intended. Therefore, we must not forget that even if there is something good, it is never something to be proud of. - Joseph’s “just my thoughts”
