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”
Value and price are different. Value results from relative comparison, and the numerical expression of this result is price; however, value and price do not always align. If the price-to-value ratio is positive, the seller makes a profit while the buyer incurs a loss. Conversely, if it is negative, the seller faces a loss, and the buyer gains a profit. Transactions occur at price, not at value. Handling the ground differs from selling without knowing that gold is buried and purchasing with that knowledge while keeping it hidden. The disparity between value and price creates a divide between wealth and poverty. - Joseph’s “just my thoughts”
