Just my thoughts #0480

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”

Just my thoughts #0381

In the Genesis of the Bible, there is a scene where Adam sees and names all creations. Naming is a social act. By giving something a name, we can specify and refer to it, allowing us to treat it as an object of praise or criticism in society. This is why popularity rises; its popularity becomes power, while criticism can lead to rejection. Suppose no names are assigned to the objects in the world. Human sociality would revert to a primitive state the moment names disappear. A name is not just a title; it embodies your existence. - Joseph’s “just my thoughts”
