The fantastic idea I had was that someone else in the world had the same idea. An easy place to check is the stock market. People in the world are either as smart as I am or smarter than I am. There are no good ideas, only different thoughts. It is essential to try to think differently from others, even if the utility value of different thoughts is not high. The utility value of thought increases only when the ability to grasp the essence and the experiences gained from life come into play. Think differently from others within your own abilities. - Joseph’s “just my thoughts”
Greed, regret, excessive care, unreasonable disconnection, excuses, defenses, lies, dignity, and elaborate schemes; the essence behind these phenomena is fear. The unique response that occurred after Adam and Eve sinned was to hide out of fear. The object of fear becomes the object of worship. While religion should help balance fear and worship, it often exploits it. This is called “depravity.” Anyone can be depraved, anyone! - Joseph’s “just my thoughts”
