Showing posts with the label ignorance

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”

Not all of them are like that, but it’s not easy to say that many of those who have learned a lot know what they don’t know. However, when you acknowledge “I don’t know” what you don’t know, the wisdom gained from that ignorance enriches everyone. Learning begins with recognizing what you don’t know, while what you do know involves a clear understanding of that unknown. This awareness can help reduce the chaos of the world, even if just a little. - Joseph’s “just my thoughts”

The term “pseudo-” means exquisitely similar, but the core differs. This small difference in the core has enormous consequences. When you see a pseudo-doctor, you lose your health or life. When you meet pseudo-religious leaders, you waste your life and ruin your future—this small difference in core changes in fate. So, when consulting, I emphasize the “essence of business” and “identity”. Entrepreneurs don't know the tragedy that occurred by ignoring the small core in peace due to similar reasons. - Joseph’s “just my thoughts”

You probably think that your ability can determine your competitiveness. So you might think that ability should be important in professions. Then think about it. When you're working, if there's a person next to you who has the best ability, you might give up your job for that person. The essence of occupation is competition and ignorance. These two properties will tell you that there is still something to challenge and achieve in your life. But if you acknowledge reality accurately, you will wander your way. If you consider more, you will realize that the driving forces of challenge and achievement have belonged to the "ignorance of competition." - Joseph's "just my thoughts"

Japanese actor and filmmaker Takeshi Kitano said this about Effort. "Effort is like a lottery ticket. If you buy it, you might win, but if you don't buy it, you'll never win." Effort is not about maximizing your probability of success; it's a behavior that ensures a minimum probability of success. There's certainly no guarantee that you'll succeed, but if you don't put in the effort, you'll miss out on the opportunities that come with that minimum probability. Probability always brings doubt about the outcome of our efforts and creates conflict in continuing our challenges and actions. However, the world of probability is the realm of God, where human effort cannot intervene, so we should not attach value to the outcome of our efforts, even if the outcome is success or failure. Therefore, nothing is meaningful disappointment or attachment for us, and we can only be slightly happy if our attitude toward the outcome is value-neutral. Even in the worl...
