Why is it and how is it that we have great toleration for, and [in fact , often] great pleasure with/for, and satisfaction with, great "complexity" ?
OFTEN, though we really can or [ maybe even ] could never understand, much less imagine, real complexity -- EXCEPT (in some way) if rightfully, SYSTEMATICALLY, EMPIRICALLY-BOLSTERED BIT-BY-BIT -- it is still cited as the "wonderful" reason we cannot now (and maybe never) understand things. Keeps us going with "the best we can do" (even if empiricism is abandoned and seemingly for no good reason -- as so often HAS happened/DOES happen).
Our "theories" still fill our minds and do part of the job and provide vague, marginally-at-best 'testable' hypotheses (really, at best, for just [temporary] utilitarian purposes OR for ourselves or our ilk), AND certainly not so much (if any) to discover some "big pieces" in the nature of Reality or discover more, BUT JUST TO "EXTEND" our "theory(ies)" or the application thereof.
Basically equivalent to "pleasuring oneself", though clearly worse.
One could also be an idiot, ignorant, or insane (any or all 3) and perhaps have something very much like this view : and, be filled with the complexity one goes to again and again in one's mind (or with one's mind). Let's get our mind OR any mind integral in seeing such "complexity" OUT OF IT.
[ One could also be an idiot, ignorant, or insane (any or all 3) and NOT be limited by needless complexity (to be fair to the good handicapped, as indeed is appropriate). ]
Truth is: much "complexity" (to be most generous) is a way to handle, cope with, and [often] enjoy CONFUSION (perhaps arrogantly and pretentiously). There is inherently some element(s) of ignorance and even delusion in such a view which always accepts or must accept "complexity". The view (if the word is used or understood wrongly) LIMITS ONE GREATLY. Yet THIS is SO VERY COMMON.
Let's spot them. Let's stomp them out. If we are not making the progress we rightfully seek, let's quit being immersed in such "complexity".
