I was going through some old files, and I found this in a journal entry from ten years ago:
Ten years later, and I’m pretty much convinced that most of them are 5% common sense and 95% made-up bullshit about that little bit of common sense.
To be fair, I guess this is to be expected. We have made things entirely too complicated. It’s time to apply the Pareto principal and focus on that 5% common sense and spend less time focusing on the 95% bullshit.
