Nothing Left to Remove

A designer knows he has achieved perfection not when there is nothing left to add, but when there is nothing left to take away.

Antoine de Saint-Exupery

My instincts are the instincts of the maximillalist. I instinctively add instead of removing. I have great respect for those thinkers, like the late Bruce Lee, who can carve down to the essence of something. And I sought to do so with the Masterplan here. But nonetheless, wild flowers bloom continually in the carefully manicured garden I attempt to keep in my mind.

I am not a perfect being or a hallowed founder who ideas are untouchable. I am a mad magician in a tower. With luck much of this will stand the test of time. But I leave to other, later thinkers, the task of unifiying and streamlining the thinking that I have passed down here.
