Good folks; Occam’s Razor: Whilst the simplest explanation may often be proven as the correct one, does such a school of thought promote intellectual laziness and closed mindedness?
Discuss and provide examples where possible.
Alternatively…..beards yes or no? |

There’s no link between simplicity of result and difficulty in getting there. Some very simple solutions to problems are the result of huge amounts of effort to reach that point.
Beards yes. |

I like kitting and I like knittens 
I don’t like a beard on me, in fact if I could put a cream on my face that would cause all my facial hair never to grow again, I would put it on without a second thought … right now… to have skin on my face like a woman’s WOW! |

This is very much the correct answer.
"Beards yes."
So is this.
(Why yes, I make complex things simple for a living and yes, I wear a beard. Why do you ask?) |

Random musing: Hickam's dictum (the diametric opposite of Occram’s razor) ….. I initially misread it as Hickam’s Rectum.
My eyesight is clearly faultering - an overt example of Occam’s razor in my self diagnosis.
But am I being lazy in said diagnosis?
I have rendered myself discombobulated…

In an artistic discipline such as painting or music, the simplistic original idea that gets abstracted and explored ends up ruined for over thinking it, or reduced back to what was pleasing about it simply. |
