In reality, many things in our life are very simple to explain. But we reject them saying “This is too simple. It can’t be this simple.”
If you think about things being complex as being sophisticated like most people do, you think the more complex it is, the more sophisticated it is.
Albert Einstein
once listed what he said were the five ascending levels of cognitive prowess. The lowest level of cognitive
prowess is being smart. The next
level up, level four, is intelligent.
Level three, next up, is brilliant.
Next level up, level two, he said is genius.
What? What’s higher than genius? He must have that backward. No, he doesn’t.
Level-5 Smart,
Level-4 Intelligent, Level-3 Brilliant, Level-2 Genius, Level-1 Simple
Number one is
simple. Simple transcends (surpasses) genius.
