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”
The reason managers need to know poetry is that it can inspire them to solve problems. Poetry consists of statements, similes, metaphors, substitutions, and transpositions, and this function serves as a tool for addressing issues in management. Statements identify the core of the problem, while similes and metaphors ignite the imagination to foster problem-solving. Substitutions and transpositions facilitate the connection and application of methods for resolving the issue. Rhetoric is a valuable key to problem-solving that enhances critical thinking; after all, it is an issue of application. - Joseph’s “just my thoughts”
