We have perfected the art of finding problems without fixing real-world issues. We focus too much on complexity, not harm.
Working on 'Mad Men' was an incredible experience. It was such an incredible show with beautiful writing and so much complexity.
If we could support school curricula about social class, we might discuss the full complexity of 'wealth' within the parameters of our children's educational lives. Out of these lesson plans, we might talk more about what society values - and whether it rewards the right things.
When we talk about famine, people start listing, as I have, its many different elements. We must not let the complexity of the subject put us off. We must continue putting our efforts into prevention.
A single neuron in the brain is an incredibly complex machine that even today we don't understand. A single 'neuron' in a neural network is an incredibly simple mathematical function that captures a minuscule fraction of the complexity of a biological neuron.
You cannot communicate complicated information to large groups of people. As you increase the number of people, you have to decrease the complexity of the information.
Success means your options multiply. Size increases complexity, and complexity can confuse vision.
I've always been struck by the complexity of a world where drugs kill and cure. Where no one is immune.
If you look at any leaf on any tree branch, it's similar to but not exactly a repetition of the previous branch. So the new science of complexity or showing how an architecture can be produced just as quickly, cheaply and efficiently by using computer production methods to get the slight variation, the self-similarity.
People underestimate the complexity of comic books.
