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”
Plants produce a toxin called alkaloids for their protection. Over 200 types of alkaloids exist in nature, and they are known for their bitter taste. Humans dislike bitterness and prefer sweetness. Among taste receptors, there are four times as many receptors for detecting bitter flavors compared to other taste perceptions, which is believed to be an evolutionary adaptation for safety against toxins. Fear is an instinctual response in humans to ensure security. Aversion to pain may also serve as a survival mechanism. Don’t be vaguely afraid of fear. - Joseph’s “just my thoughts”
