“The complicated world to explain and grasp in simple sentences is an ancient human need. The Bible already works with aphorisms, the thread of simplification runs through the entire cultural history, whether it’s calendar sayings, “Reader’s Digest” or fortune cookies. Someone like Confucius would also be a successful Twitter slinger today. To make something very difficult appear very simple meets a huge longing. There is nothing wrong with that, people simply need it.”
