Simple Explanations Are Too Simple

from Effectiveness · host Max Langen

Simple ideas are seductive because of how strong and clear they are. Government is corrupt and incompetent. Everyone is a thief. Food should taste good. These ideas make life simple and give clarity. They are, however, wrong. Using these simplifications as a guide in your life leaves out crucial details, even if the idea is mostly, or most often, right. You can't go through life with ideas this simple. Life is not, ever, this simple, and your mental map has got to at least accept this.
