Joseph's "Just My Thoughts"

In the West, human thinking has primarily developed through formal logic . In formal logic, truth and falsehood cannot coexist. However, in Eastern thinking , it is seen as possible. Some Western dialectical ideas were already recognized in the East. Three main dialectical concepts are: first, reality is constantly changing, so what is true now can become false later (the principle of fluctuation ). Second, due to this ongoing change, contradictions always emerge, and these contradictions drive further change (the principle of contradiction ). Third, the whole is greater than the sum of its parts, and each part relates to the whole (the principle of relationality or holism ). This is reflected in yin and yang in Eastern philosophy and Taoism. Eastern thinking regards contradictions, confrontations, and change as natural phenomena. This mindset difference also influences management and investment . If the economy improves, Westerners tend to believe it will keep improving, while Asia...

It is the birth of a new aristocrat. - Joseph’s “just my thoughts”

In his book Rhetoric, Aristotle identifies three conditions for the persuasion of people: ethos, pathos, and logos. Simply put, ethos is the inherent character of the persuader. Pathos is the emotional state of the persuadee, and logos is the logic of the persuader. The order of importance is ethos, pathos, and logos.

Therefore, who and what you are is the most important thing, and the timing synchronized with the psychological state of the persuadee is the second. However, the inferior people are more obsessed with logic and are more convinced. They define people and judge the world based on whether someone is right or wrong. Then they will continue to live a life of 10% inferiors. - Joseph’s “just my thoughts”
