No matter how many times we try to follow the Keep It Simple Stupid
aspect of life, we screw it up. "Simply" put, we are far too
complex, too complicated, and too contradictive to implement this.
Our brains are just too far up the scale for it. We are consisted of
two hundred nations speaking thousands of different languages,
thousands of cultures, and you honestly believe that we can make
everything all simple!?
What rubbish!
Complex we are, complex we will always be. And we will continue to
grow even more complex as we grow more advanced. Universality is an
illusion that we just continue to stumble over because we are too
afraid of acknowledging differences. Do you really believe that we
will discard our complex nature in favor of a one-size-fits-all
solution? Doing this has only caused more hardship.
"The road to Hell is paved with best intentions", seems to fit both
you and Axle Gear because simplicity is all about best intentions.
Methinks that you are just envious of animals because they have much
simpler minds than us.
