Great post and pretty much sums it up in a nut shell!

I don’t think I’m any smarter than the average bear, I just like the idea of seeing things as they are without the spin people attach. In short, Reductionism.
Much of any situation is total crap. But remove the spin and overthinking and you likely have the truth. Reagan was a big proponent of simplicity and it worked fine for him. ;)
