Thinking Simple at the Top

(3)

This brings us to question the value of complexity. What good is it? We all know that complexity is absolutely fundamental, but what good is it? (Time for more neuron nutrition - standby.) The answer seems to be that complexity has no place at the top. Gods and Presidents need to think in the simplest possible terms and leave the rest to the technicians. Did not WHTZSN create The Universe with the words, 'Let there be light?'

Did not Mother Nature then manufacture the Big Bang? I think we can all safely conclude that WHTZSNM had absolutely no clue whatsoever about the nature of the Periodic Table when He uttered those fateful words of His. He was doing 'big picture thinking' and not bothering His Pretty Little Head about technicalities. Can we agree on that? Yez?

Which brings us to the first law of leadership: Think simple, and let others do the work.
