Efficient Ideas
The most impactful ideas are efficient.
They strike the exact level of abstraction necessary
to reduce complexity without losing functionality.
Consider a bubble.
It will always form a sphere.
It requires the least amount of energy to create.
This is why appears everywhere in nature:
it is the minimal structure needed to prevent collapse,
it is efficient.
When solidified it becomes a ball,
that can roll, resonate, and bounce.
Though abundant in nature, efficiency is rare in thought.
It appears delicate—like one gust of wind could sweep it away.
But the core of a great idea is like a bubble:
paper-thin, deceptively simple, and seemingly unstable.
And it can solidify into something eternal.
