Complexity

[12:17:58 PM] Zephyr: it just occured to me
[12:18:05 PM] Zephyr: that the less you know about HOW things work
[12:18:10 PM] Zephyr: the easier it is to MAKE them work
[12:18:27 PM] Zephyr: take magic and psionics and stuff
[12:18:44 PM] Zephyr: it's pretty simple thinking "move that to there" and just willing that to happen
[12:19:02 PM] Zephyr: you have no idea HOW an object might move
[12:19:10 PM] Zephyr: make it float, move to the left, set it down
[12:19:16 PM] Zephyr: simple, that's all you need to know
[12:19:24 PM] Zephyr: but you learn physics and stuff
[12:19:35 PM] Zephyr: and suddenly it's not "lift it up"
[12:20:03 PM] Zephyr: it's "apply a constant upward force exceeding the force of gravity"
[12:20:11 PM] Zephyr: see how much more complex it became?
[12:20:23 PM] Zephyr: or let's take teleportation
[12:20:27 PM] Zephyr: "teleport to there"
[12:20:29 PM] Zephyr: simple
[12:21:57 PM] Zephyr: "entagle each individula particle ensuring all quarks have an equal spin of 1/2 to ensure maximum stability and capacity for movement, while ensuring no duplication or detanglement occurs to prevent catastrophic failure such as a rift in space-time or an uncontained nuclear reaction"
[12:22:01 PM] Zephyr: well
[12:22:06 PM] Zephyr: that got difficult quick
