“Life is complicated. It’s filled with nuance. It’s unsatisfying. If I believe in anything, it is doubt. The root cause of all life’s problems is looking for a simple fucking answer.”
– Anthony Bourdain
This reminds me of H.L. Mencken’s apocryphal quote:
“For every complicated problem, there’s a simple solution — and it’s wrong”
And also this from Blaise Pascal:
“All of humanity’s problems stem from man’s inability to sit quietly in a room alone.”
