Screenshot from season 3 episode 5 of the series The Gilded Age featuring four women gossiping in Newport. Mrs Russel is center right wearing a dress that mirrors the armor of imperial storm troopers from Star Wars. More the original trilogy than the prequels or sequels, in my opinion.

Image of quoted text reading “Smart people are uniquely vulnerable to mistaking complexity for insight. An executive writes a ten-page memo that could be one. An engineer builds an intricate system when a simple one would perform better at half the cost. The consultant mesmerizes clients with frameworks that conceal rather than reveal. We attach prestige to what mystifies us. Complexity intoxicates both the creator and audience, drugging us with the illusion of wisdom. Mastery isn’t making the simple complex—it’s finding the elegant simplicity that cuts through the complexity.”
