Adequacy : Moderate and appropriate nature. In the early days of the Roman Empire , Emperor Tiberius hosted a grand feast and invited an inventor. The inventor presented a glass as a gift, and the emperor inquired about its features. When the inventor claimed that the glass was unbreakable , the emperor dropped it on the floor. Only one side was dented, and the emperor touched that spot, restoring it to its original condition. Astonished, the emperor asked the inventor, “Have you ever taught anyone how to make this glass?” The inventor replied, “I did not tell anyone.” Then the emperor ordered his execution because if the recipe for the glass were known, the value of the emperor’s gold and silver treasures would plummet. No matter how excellent something is, it can be the worst depending on the situation and context. That’s why adequacy is essential. - Joseph’s “just my thoughts”
I believe that humans’ key activities are discovery and imagination. Humans grow through thought, which involves gathering information from the exploration of nature and society and organizing it meaningfully. Progress occurs when we connect with and apply this information beyond its immediate relevance, and this process of connection is termed imagination. Discovery serves as the foundational material for imagination, while imagination generates new outcomes through application, leading to development. - Joseph’s “just my thoughts”
