maybe -simplicity- will apper obvious after the hard path to reach it.
maybe -obvious- is a (very) relative concept:
some are nice (obvious?) "Find your tribe by filtering people, not converting them"..
others appear more relative to the context.. "Stereotypes exist for a reason", sound like: every stereotype has it's (mostrly wrong) reason..
"Practice doesn’t make perfect. Practice makes permanent" remind me: "If i study, i know. If i do, i understand"
Some reminds me Perlis epigrams.. like
"Fools ignore complexity. Pragmatists suffer it. Some can avoid it. Geniuses remove it."
