The best innovations happen at the intersection of humanity, technology, and creativity. Franklin, Einstein, Leonardo, Jobs, and even yourself - all excelled in not just your respective fields but in understanding the broader human context.

Steve Jobs once said “Our goal is to make the best devices, not to be the biggest.” and another time he said “innovation is saying no to a thousand things”. His mantra was always that “simple is harder than complex” because it takes a lot of hard work to achieve simple elegant solutions.

But I think the Rashomon effect can sometimes confuse people to superficially reduce complexity instead of deeply understanding the essence of a product or idea and distilling it to its purest, most effective form.

This note is a good reminder to stay grounded to what really matters to the people.
