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”
Among Marvel characters, I’ve read an article claiming that the most powerful character in a fight is “Ant-Man.” The reason lies in size. No matter how powerful humans are, dealing with a virus is challenging. The civilization humans have built is a result of a daily life that accommodates this size. Now we are governed by that civilization. My thoughts occur within that context. Even a small crumb of bread is a windfall for an ant. As size changes, so do attributes and happiness. My thoughts are closely connected to the environment around me. - Joseph’s “just my thoughts”
