this is why I only communicate in poetry complexity is not what you believe it is please try listening

  So cool. One reading is “complexity is not what you believe it is”. Another is “complexity is”… “not what you believe it is”. Seems similar but the difference is subtle. Even the “please try listening” line changes in both versions. One is confrontational, the other is empathetic.

    Agreed. "complexity is" as a full sentence followed by "not what you believe it is" has a fundamentally different meaning. Very cool

  Reminded me of a colleague who wrote his email replys as haiku. It got old pretty quickly.

  There is complexity that can only be moved around, not eliminated.
