How do you simplify without reducing?
When something is so complicated and complex, we simplify
things and reduce them to certain, uhm, models? or systems? for us to more
easily understand.
But with reduction comes subtraction of important features
and aspects that, although contribute to the complexity that we are trying to do
away with, still make up that rare wholeness that drew us in, that very
uniqueness enough to earn it our attention.
And those little details that we subtract, those features
and aspects that perplex us, they’re all intertwined in this giant web of
confusion. And then boom, we’re back to square one.
Things are so complicated. My solution has always been to
compartmentalize. But it seems so unfair to compartmentalize people.
What do I do with you?
