False equivalency: A misleading comparison where the comparison targets are forcibly balanced while ignoring relevant differences. For example, claiming that banning guns also requires banning cars. Both cause harm to human life, but guns are designed for lethality and are closely linked to crime, whereas automobiles are meant for transportation and sometimes cause fatalities in traffic accidents as side effects. Comparing these two as if they are the same constitutes a false equivalency. Similarly, saying that apples and oranges are the same because they are both fruits and round is also a false equivalency. We are easily misled by such false comparisons. - Joseph’s “just my thoughts”
The mass production of artworks is less valuable. Imagine if Van Gogh’s famous works were produced in the same way, with hundreds of thousands of copies distributed worldwide—how much would they be worth? However, if there are too many copies of the original artwork and a growing curiosity about the original, the value of the original increases because of the many copies. In other words, the replicas at this time serve as media rather than as true works of art. Supply and demand also significantly influence value formation, but in the meantime, media actually plays a vital role in establishing value. What is the media that shapes my values now? - Joseph’s “just my thoughts”
