In personal finance, simplicity often trumps complexity. This article riffs on the phrase "If you hear hoof beats, don’t assume zebras," urging readers to avoid overcomplicating their financial challenges. Whether it’s blaming debt on the credit crunch, claiming budgets are too complex, or rationalizing credit card use, the truth is often much simpler—and less exotic—than we pretend. By reframing financial excuses as avoidable habits, this post delivers a clear message: most of your hoof beats are just horses. Focus on the obvious, not the outlandish, and your financial life will be a lot more manageable. #hoofbeats, #personalfinance, #budgeting, #debt #excuses, #financial #simplicity,# OccamsRazor, #creditcard #habits, #CanFin

Occam’s Razor Says:

All those people missing,

they’re not in secret caves,

or hiding out, or on the run:

they’re dead in shallow graves.

Графическая Новелла «Детектив Джек». Эпизод 3.

Джек оказывается в безвыходном положении. Запертый со связанными руками он сожалеет, что всё-таки ввязался в эту историю. Зря он заговорил с той роковой женщиной. Из-за неё он закончит свою блистательную карьеру детектива в этих катакомбах.

Подождите, а что это у него в руках? Он совсем забыл про бритву Оккама! С её помощью он разрезает веревки и пытается ��рорезать решетку. Лезвие с лёгкостью рассекает прутья – очевидно, это не просто бритва.

Джеку даже удается вырезать решетчатую дверь, за которой оказывается вход в другое новое пространство.

Творческий концепт проекта – это примитивизация стиля: от полноцветного комикса вначале до монохромного в конце истории. В этом эпизоде уходит красный цвет, палитра сокращается до трех цветов: черный, белый, синий.

Chicago is famous for its comedy scene! If you're in town, be sure to visit the Second City or the iO theater for some improv, sketch comedy, or stand-up. You don't even need to leave the UChicago campus for great comedy---we have student comedy groups like Off-Off Campus, Occam's Razor, and Commedia!

Innocent Until Proven Guilty

A lot of people seem to have that backwards.  I wish they wouldn’t, but I accept that I cannot change peoples’ minds.

Then I have a moment of self-awareness... that quite possibly I have been accusing people of the very same. 

Occam’s Razor; try not to assume malevolence. Try not to assume anything at all, really, but keep in mind... some people, like me, are just oblivious akin to a rock; unaware that their actions are causing problems.

Xerxes, Occam & Equality

Three ideas converging in my mind:

Humans Asserting Divinity: Xerxes (pop-culture), Alexander the Great, Jesus. Also the Divine Right of Kings.

Occam’s Razor: The simplest explanation is most often true. Specifically: David Hume’s logic behind being skeptical about miracles.

Desire for Equality: Pondering the in-groups (white, male, western) that traditionally defined the desired end state of equality. 

Developing thought: 

The most simple explanation in earlier times of power, by the powerful, was that it was divine. 

In modern times, we cannot explain those differences away by divinity. The simple explanation - god - is no longer widely accepted. 

 The equality standard that we have been “aiming” at for the last 100 years (women’s liberation, civil rights, post-colonialism) does not cede to simple explanation.

More knowledge, modern knowledge means... less simplicity? more responsibility? unnecessary complexity? 

Still ruminating.

I'm just trying to get rid of some art supplies, man. 🍒 Lately I've been wondering what's gonna happened to all these pilled and worked up people with high speed internet but no critical reasoning skills. 💊💉 Are they gonna go back to their jobs next year ranting about how Hillary takes the faces off babies 👶🏼 and wears them for fun? Or will they realize how utterly insane they sound once they are around a lot of people again, post pandemic, that have their jaws on the floor? I'm trying to be patient with people I see posting dangerous theories: medical or otherwise but real talk..... I hope they snap out of it. 🌵🌴 I feel super #blessed that my pandemic breakdown was over wanting to end injustice and help people, not violence or selfishness. I posted a lot about getting justice for murdered people. I didn't post pictures of me with guns threatening people. I don't have the right to kill anyone. And neither do you. The world has split into those 2 camps. Half are so terrified all they can think about is killing and being threatened. A constant state of fear that has led them to some cray cray conclusions. The #CDC is now recommending not engaging with anti-maskers and #plandemic conspiracy theorists as they continue to assault minimum wage workers across the country for simply doing their job. The first emotion I have when I see this or the other bonkers theories out there is sadness. Its sad af y'all.
