An expert is someone who has succeeded in making decisions and judgements simpler through knowing what to pay attention to and what to ignore.

In a sense, words are encyclopedias of ignorance because they freeze perceptions at one moment in history and then insist we continue to use these frozen perceptions when we should be doing better.

It has always surprised me how little attention philosophers have paid to humor, since it is a more significant process of mind than reason. Reason can only sort out perceptions, but the humor process is involved in changing them.

Dealing with complexity is an inefficient and unnecessary waste of time, attention and mental energy. There is never any justification for things being complex when they could be simple.

It's always amazed me how little attention philosophers, psychologists, or anyone else actually has paid to humor.

The case is dismissed and we are very pleased with the outcome. It was everybody's decision that it was the appropriate resolution.
