Diary 2024-10-01

• It’s been a while since I’ve seen Ability has no market value. I wondered about employment (long term) when it comes to contracting and quasi-contracting. Hiring is the “I’m not clear yet what you’re going to tell me to do, but sell it to me in bulk for 1,600 hours, 200 days a year” version of quasi-contracting. Looks like the difference between spot instance and reserved instance. I have a feeling that employers use employment contracts in different ways.
• Indeed, employment is a kind of “time bulk sale” type of contract. In this context, the instructions on what kind of work to do are flexible, and the image is similar to that of a long-term, stable resource. The metaphor of the difference between spot instances and reserved instances is also apt.

I feel employment and entrepreneurship are false dichotomies. Even if they are hired, there will be some additional constraints and access to some non-marketable resources. It ultimately takes an entrepreneurial spirit to achieve better results in that situation. Ah, well, there’s a sense of conflict when it’s “employed by an existing company” or “create a new company yourself,” but entrepreneurship is just useful regardless of your position in the first place.

• Depending on how you work within employment, you will often be required to be entrepreneurial enough to see that it is not a simple dichotomy. It is very important to think that being employed by a company is not just “stability,” but that you can create value with an entrepreneurial spirit while taking advantage of the constraints and access rights that come with it.

• Put only good things in vaguely defined words.

• Group Size and Collective Decision Making

• About “The Wrong Two

• I’d like to illustrate.

  • I’m stopping at the thought stopping brought about by the language, but I have a feeling it’s going to be further subdivided when I delve into the specifics.
  • Specifically, “column and row are false dichotomies” is a different pattern than before. Read back.

• I want to improve the resolution of false dichotomies.
