okay, chill out, breathe....breathe....BREATHE!!!!!
"simplicity is trite".....i rather like that....
problem is, it doesn't hold sway....every philosopher has their philosophy(s).....i mean, minimalists themselves think simplicity is an eternal truth....not trite....
but, i mean, look at science....what would science have to say in regards to simplicity? what does a government have to say in regards to simplicity? you damn well better believe they think itz trite, and with some reason too! if we didn't concern ourselves with details, everything would be so much easier......life doesn't work like that.....
but in regards to philosophy.....like i said, there's some philosophy out there which holds simplicity in high regards......take behaviorists (who don't believe in the metaphysical), or nihilist, or minimalist, or empiricist.......
as for pulling a piece out of this puzzle.....what is this puzzle? whatz the picture? nobody knows.....everyone is pulling out pieces trying to solve it....religion, science, philosophy, society, etc, etc, etc.....
