Wealth Of Nation Note (Ch.1)

  1st sector vs 2nd sector In the first chapter of Wealth of Nations Adam Smith talked about the difference between labour and manufacturer. He believes that manufacturers hold the means of production. Since the increase of a single manufacturer could greatly improve their production while a labourer can’t. Why can't laborers improve their production? Because their production is limited by time and land. While the manufacturer doesn't. Specialization Efficiency Adam Smith then went into detail on why production increased through specialization. He saw a core problem of low production on the micro and macro side. As put it simply: breaking of the flow. First is the change of occupation in the Macro side, when you change an occupation, you also need time to adapt to the new job with learning of new skills. People with multiple occupation would also lose lots of time in commuting. Just like in the micro side, imagine the production of pencils. Suppose 3 people wanted to make a pen...

What are we?

Image result for big bang
What had created us? What if we were created by an event that will always happen. For example, the big bang began without anything, should it always have the same consequence, since what science is trying to find is the consequence of an event. For example, a ball falls, because gravity exists. Now the question comes to us humans. Do we do something because of all the past experiences and genes inside our body that influence us or are we able to change?

Will we be able to change the action that we are doing or are we doomed to do the same thing again and again like a machine. I think that is the question that had bothered philosophers for all these years. The argument of machine vs soul. Do we exist just to repeat the same thing again and again, or are we able to change or improve our situation each time it happens (like having a soul guiding us, since we are not doing the same thing again and again, but change our behavior because we got the memory from the previous experience.)

As of now you still have the ability to change. Even if that's what you had done before, wouldn't you be glad that at least you tried? Just like me questioning my existence now, and hoping to give an answer. I might have posted this a thousand times yet I still feel that there's a lot that I can improve. I am glad to know that there are still improvements for me.
