simple > complex > simple
Day 20 of 30 — Public Thoughts
For the simplicity on this side of complexity, I wouldn't give you a fig. But for the simplicity on the other side of complexity, for that I would give you anything I have.
— Oliver Wendell Holmes (Heard from Shawn in Post AI World)
One of my guiding questions in marketing, business… even fitness.. has been —
How can I make this more simple?
I naturally like to add complexity. (If that is in fact unique. A not just part of human nature.)
But this makes sense. It makes me think of a bell curve —
Y-axis being simplicity/complexity X - axis being level of competence
Which also reminds me of the Dunning-Kruger Effect…
They’re almost like inverse of each other…
The peak of mt. stupid, things are simple for the wrong reason.
The valley of despair, things are a complex mess.
But the further you move along the curve of enlightenment, the simpler things become…again.
