Why patience is needed

This link was posted in another thread.

It's an exceedingly long and revelatory article from 1997 about DFT. The short quote below is a small snip from it. It will take a long time to untangle DFTs web.


One day, when I was in Trump’s office, he took a phone call from an investment banker, an opaque conversation that, after he hung up, I asked him to elucidate.

“Whatever complicates the world more I do,” he said.

Come again?

“It’s always good to do things nice and complicated so that nobody can figure it out.”
