Meeting someone intentionally requires planning a specific time and place, and because it is a three-dimensional event, it can be seen as a cosmic occurrence. We can’t meet simply by setting a time, nor can we meet just by choosing a place. So, how much more astonishing is it to meet someone by chance without an appointment? Meeting and breaking up with someone are by no means easy. We create cosmic events every day, fulfilling vast mathematical probabilities and physical conditions. - Joseph’s “just my thoughts”

A panopticon is a prison design inspired by British utilitarian Jeremy Bentham’s ideas. The most effective way to monitor prisoners is to create spaces where a few prison officers can observe many prisoners without being seen themselves. Control is not exercised by the prison officers but rather by the design of the space. A watchtower with tiny windows is situated in the center of the circular structure, allowing the interior of the prison to appear bright while enabling the prison officers in the watchtower to keep an eye on the prisoners. Power stems from the ability to observe others without revealing one’s existence. - Joseph’s “just my thoughts”

Time is a religious and political concept. In the history of mankind, the church first controlled time and later by the government. The church's bell tower and the city hall's clock tower are proof of this. A person who rules over time is a ruler and a true authority. - Joseph's "just my thoughts"
