“Simple” and “stupid” are not synonyms.
Truth is always found by seeing the simplicity in apparent complexity. Once I see the simplicity, I realize that complexity is just an illusion. Things are so simple, in fact, that each realization is a profound lesson in humility: How could I have been so blind to the obvious?
I would be wise to be humble still… still not seeing the simplicity before my eyes. Complexity is an illusion, always.
When things seem complicated, I still have more to learn.
The perceived complexity of many things is manufactured. Mountains of esoterica and meaningless jargon are created purposed to discouraging curiosity and keeping the uninitiated at a distance.
Economics is one of the best examples.
Indeed, Richard. Complexity is how inauthentic enterprises… governments, churches, corporations, etc… conceal the truth, enthrall the masses, and stay in business.
Agreed.
