1 + 1 = 2 is an unchangeable mathematical fact. However, in real life, there is a synergistic effect that can make the calculation result 3 or more. Therefore, even though we believe and accept certain axioms , there may be cases where they do not always hold true in extraordinary circumstances. One such case is the belief that reason exists as the opposite of emotion . Perhaps reason is not the opposite of emotion, but rather a part of it or a different form of emotion. How can we classify reason and emotion? The reason we recognize might actually be logic that originates from emotions. There is certainly a concept called ‘reason,’ but its true nature may be unknown to us. Ultimately, emotions will likely dominate our existence. - Joseph’s “just my thoughts”

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 most difficult writing in the Bible that I’ve ever read is ‘Job.’ In introducing ‘Job,’ the Bible states that he was a rich man of strong faith and the head of a happy family, but it does not explain the origins of the blessings he enjoyed. As he endures indescribable hardships, the reasons for his suffering remain unclear. In other words, he was blessed without explanation and suffered without explanation. The first part of the book of Job, which describes his blessings, contrasts with the latter part, in which he loses everything and eventually recovers for the first time. Yet, there is no explanation for this recovery either. Job’s life serves as a profound example of human experience. For many, the most painful aspect is to enjoy blessings without reason and to lose those blessings without reason. Our lives compel us to confront this reality, and that is the essence of our existence. - Joseph’s “just my thoughts”

What does it mean to be good at work? First, you need to understand your priorities well. Priorities are shaped by self-worth and circumstances. The priority is to have empathy, even when there isn’t a clear correct answer. In this world, there’s a correct path that most people acknowledge. It reflects the common values that humanity has agreed upon over time. Second, you need to identify the key point. The point is that even if you eliminate other factors, you should never remove them. Third, everything must align with your purpose. There’s a reason behind everything you do. And finally, you must maintain trust. - Joseph’s “just my thoughts”

“Culture” is a lifestyle that does not naturally accept or object to “reason.” The key is that you don’t pick “reason. ” However, if someone asks “why?” to the passing-over phenomenon without any doubt, many things are revealed. Cultural products, organizational culture, art, community, and social matters kneel before this question. Ask yourself, “Why?”. - Joseph’s “just my thoughts”

In his book, “Thinking, Fast and Slow,” the Nobel Prize winner in economics, Daniel Kahneman, said that humans have two systems of thinking. These two thinking systems were called “system 1” and “system 2”. “System 1” is an intuitive and emotional thinking system that operates unconsciously and immediately. “System 2” is rational and is determined by careful consideration. “System 1” is advantageous for survival in a crisis and works immediately, so operating costs are less than “System 2”. When humans make decisions, they decide 95% with “System 1” and 5% with “System 2”. Humans decide by emotion, but by reason, they must revenge those foolish emotions. - Joseph’s “just my thoughts”

Everybody lies. "I don't lie" is a lie. There are five reasons for lying: 1) originally dishonest, 2) embarrassed, 3) ignorant, 4) scared, 5) to defend their interests. However, except for 1), on the contrary, we are also being honest for those reasons. It is not a dichotomy; it is a matter of judgment in the context. - Joseph’s “just my thoughts”

The dichotomy of history in which mankind has separated emotions and reason is long. People have thought that emotions are inferior and that reason is superior. In priority relations, emotions seem to have less stake than the reason in our minds. But let's see a psychopath. The rationale for justifying their bizarre behavior is mostly reason and logic. Emotions, especially empathy, are hard to find for them. If the work is done with reason and logic only, the chances of success may be high, but there remains a high possibility of aftereffects. The world moves in a way that values emotions more. - Joseph's "just my thoughts"
