neosymian commented on the word simplexity
Simplexity is an emerging theory that proposes a possible complementary relationship between complexity and simplicity. The term draws from General Systems Theory, Dialectics (philosophy) and Design. Jeffery Kluger wrote a book about this phenomenon that describes how house plants can be more complicated than industrial plants, how a truck drivers job can be as difficult as a CEO's and why 90% of the money donated to help cure diseases are given only to the research of 10% of them (and vice versa)
We need simplicity and complexity together, we need simple complexity. What we want is SIMPLEXITY
