I think I can say this much without fear of contradiction: the world is a pretty complicated place. We share a planet with nearly 7 billion of our closest friends. Our bodies are made up of trillions of cells, not counting the legion of bacteria and such along for the ride. The observable universe is so big and behaves in such a counter-intuitive way that understanding humanity's best guess on how it all works takes a lifetime of dedicated study... and we already know that understanding can't possibly be right! In fact, on that subject, any serious area of study or body of knowledge has grown so vast that anybody who wants to make any real headway at untangling it has to specialize in a sub-area of a specialty.
There's a lot going on.
Then again, it's possible to get along pretty well in the world by simplifying one's life (See Thoreau). In fact, it might well be a healthier choice to pursue simplicity rather than drown in the complexity. If I were better motivated, I'm sure I could dig up a study on the subject somewhere.
I'm wondering, can you have it both ways? Maybe, simplify to such an extent that it passes infinity, loops around, and becomes intense, complicated and super groovy? I don't have an answer to that, but I'm betting somebody has already come up with one. Probably several somebodys. And I could probably find those answers with a quick google search. Which I might do... Provided I feel like it... After I get done checking YouTube to see if anybody I'm subscribed to has posted another video... and changing my laundry.
I'll be back. Although I don't guarantee I'll be talking about this same thing.
