[Thoughts] Reflections on old stories.

The more capable someone is, the more humble they tend to be.
It’s probably because they have a broad worldview and understand things based on diverse experiences. (Taking notes…)

Don’t you think that in the 20th century, even small things were treated as know-how?
Unlike today, it was an era when you couldn’t easily learn about things—truly an analog age.

Back in the day… hmm.
After getting the carburetor tuned, apparently they’d file off the jet markings?
That sort of thing…

I wonder what original parts they were using for these adaptations? Of course, they wouldn’t tell you.

Manufacturing methods were trade secrets.

Well, there are plenty of such stories.
In the era before the internet, there seemed to be a prevailing attitude that information you’d spent time gathering shouldn’t be shared—”discretion is the better part of valor,” so to speak.

The accumulation of such secrets was your meal ticket, I suppose? It was what set you apart from others.
Now in the 21st century, with 5G running at full speed, information flows smoothly from around the world, and we’re in an age of abundance where all sorts of know-how has become open.
Thanks to that, I think the general standard of the public has risen.

What used to be understood only within small circles can now be known and shared on a global scale.
If there’s an opportunity to learn through the internet, shouldn’t we share even small things and help someone else? That’s what I think about every day.

When you really think about it, isn’t it better to connect with many people over something that might not be that significant, rather than hoarding trivial information? It’s beneficial in many ways.
It’s deep stuff… (Taking notes…)
