Everything else in the series happens by way of relationship to “A”. Everybody and everything in the programe ends up as a mere cipher relating to that question. Now, if you’ve read anything I’ve written, you’ll know that I have deep and well-reasoned suspicions of those who look at the world as essentially complex. But this is because the perspective of essential complexity is a logical trap that leads to oversimplification. ‘Complexity’ is turned into both method and finding, irrespective of what the evidence shows to be consistent with other possible hypotheses about the question under examination. Thus the idea of complexity in this sense, is actually monomaniacal, and a lie.
