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”
Religion generates “power” through its architectural design. This spatial design instills power independent of external influences. In churches, pews confine movement, making the congregation face the priest in the pulpit. “Power” emerges when many individuals focus their attention on a single entity. Limiting church services due to the COVID-19 crisis is more than just a financial setback for the Church; it indicates a significant shift in religious authority. Islam addressed spatial concerns not by modifying architecture but by ensuring prayers are directed appropriately at scheduled times. Regulations also contribute to the establishment of power. - Joseph’s “just my thoughts”
