- robocat 5y ago> People always over-estimate the complexity of stuff they don't understand. Really? I see people hugely under-estimate how complex things are. Cellphones. Water reticulation systems. Networks. Software. Etcetera. Anything where they don’t know much about the problem, and they come up with a trite solution (as though they have some sort of amazing level of insight, and everybody else in the world must be just plain stupid).
