To be complex, one must first be simple. Because, unless it’s simple, it’s hard to get complicated. Every complex problem is a combination of simple problems. People tend to think that intelligence is complex. However, in hindsight, memory is just a continuation and connection of simplicity made up of thoughtful ingredients. Still, it is burdensome and complicated to find simplicity in an already complex system. Therefore, the pursuit of simplicity is a burdensome decision, one that requires a willingness to understand this complexity first. Growing up in the mind means taking on this burden and being willing to take on the challenge of finding simplicity in a formally complex system. It’s like a child taking their first steps, trying to get up while risking falling with their whole body. - Joseph’s “just my thoughts”
“Road Runner” in Warner Bros. animation “Looney Tunes” only runs. To catch it, the villain, “Wile E. Coyote,” digs a trap but only gets beaten by himself every time. However, if it is not a cartoon, the severity of the accidents that “Wile E. Coyote” suffers traps him every time is fierce. We do not acknowledge it. We even watch with the children and laugh together. Because we think that in our brains, “This is animation; it’s just a cartoon, not reality…” Realism has a profound effect on our morality. - Joseph’s “just my thoughts”
