eep it simple. You want to make life complicated. You endorse big fancy words that no one understands over simple language and call it intelligence. You use mumbo-jumbo in your legal systems, your contracts, insurance policies, tax laws, mortgages, and on and on. Then you hire ‘experts’ to wade through the mazes you’ve created. In religion, philosophy, psychology, medicine, law, education, economics, and almost every form of human enterprise, you attempt to keep things complicated and somehow maintain that simplicity means simple-minded. Yet your best writers, composers, artists, and educators are those who use clear, precise language and style to convey their meaning.
