Nothing personal OP but for some reason it makes me dizzy. Be kind, for everyone you meet is fighting a hard battle. We are not human beings on a spiritual journey. We are spiritual beings on a human journey. |

I am sick to the gills of people who say, "it cant be done" or "its too hard" Know what God said to me the one and only time I heard His voice? "You provide the will, I wil provide the power. The best way to use the "kiss" principle is to LOL and kick it to the curb.. more asonic tripe...but dont worry..I knwo how to win friends and influence people... Masons..I cant stand ya. Anyway..enough of my disdain for te becloaked apron wearing do gooders... Thin King.... very important. |

Anonymous Coward User ID: 923252 Canada 07/03/2013 06:36 PM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | It is a theory like occams so application is up to you. Lets say you have bobcats or coyotes attacking people and livestock in an area. Do you rent a helicopter and go hunting with it? Do you set up traps or stay up all night for weeks waiting them out? Or do you and 5 or 10 people slaughter a hog and leave it in the woods under some tall trees and wait for the pack to show up in mass to feed? When all or most are their you all open fire at once from your hi=hide in the trees and kill the whole pack in mass. The above is an example of how we killed a wild pack of dogs and coyotes when i was younger when nothing else would work. |

For some, I suppose, it works when ideologies are based on: Ignorance is Bliss. how about using it when dealing with other people whose ideologies are that = ignorance is bliss. Exactly. The problem is, if KISS is their ideology, then they ignore any other suggestions except the least common denominator. But, as we all know, Keep It Simple Stupid is relative and based on perceptual belief as well. In other words, it is a self dumbing down ideology. I am not equating this with Occam's Razor, as Occam's Razor can breach the confines of simple stupidity, and has the ability to lay rest to the most obvious answer, not the simplest. |

I look at it like a tool in my belt not to be overlooked. I could wrestle with that stupid laced seal on the top of the 50 pound dog food bag, or i could just pull my knife off my hip and cut the proper size hole to pour from with one horizontal cut and on short vertical one. But yeah, it is a lesser form of thinking that should be applied to dumb things individually not the whole. |

andreidita (OP) User ID: 42827556 Romania 07/04/2013 08:23 PM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | btw, occam's razor is a principle of abstract logic in specific contexts. given a specific domain which one wnats to formalize he should use a minimum of assumptions that completely capture the semantic content if anyone has done at least some courses of Logics at university level, then he knows how in Natural Deduction one can introduce assumptions by will to prove a Premise but according to Occam's razor one should not introduce more assumptions than necessary to prove that premise in real day applied thinking, though occam's razor stands on the side of Wisdom, as opposed to over-intelectualizing some situation there is a saying on this line: an intelligent man says simple things in complex words an wise man says complex things in simple words |
