The Nature Of Reality

I think the one thing that aggravates me more than anything about people in general is the tendency to find simple, reductive explanations for everything. It's not only depressingly uncurious, but leads to a lot of poor decisionmaking. There are countless causes for a single effect. NOTHING could happen how it does without millions upon millions of variables being precisely as they are. The physical world, and doubly, triply, many times so when you involve human beings, is an inherently complex system. Stop pretending things are simple.
