Razor Wisdom


I'm back in a flash.
Just wanted to add some great razors that will make life a whole lot easier.

My favorite is Hanlon's Razor- never attribute malice that which can be adequately explained by stupidity OR never assume malice when stupidity will suffice. 
Since my 2009 resolution has been both to stay in contact with friends as well as work on "understanding" this sharp little razor has been quite the efficient tool.

The other sharp little tool, Occam's Razor is basically a reductionist philosophy that states that any phenomenon should make as few assumptions as possible, eliminating those that make no difference in the observable predictions of the explanatory hypothesis or theory. Some sort of "law of parsimony/succinctness" if you will. 

Get your razors out and start shaving ladies & gents : )
