"There is a well-established and active science of complexity; there is no science of simplicity. How do we rationalize the process of creating a simple system, how does one quantify simplicity, and how does one plan a study of simplicity?" George Whitesides
Rory Jennings 🗣️ I hate Enzo Fernández. You heard that completely correctly: I hate Enzo Fernández.
A lot of people seem to be very annoyed by this. They are becoming irate with me and suggesting that my Instagram posts have been aggressive, unnecessary and unedifying. They do not like what I have been saying about Enzo Fernández.
They could be right, and I respect their opinions. I would also like to hear yours. I genuinely seek your counsel here: am I wrong, or am I completely and utterly justified?
I am going to explain my feelings about Enzo Fernández. I will discuss his character, his conduct throughout the World Cup and his overall behaviour as a footballer.
At the end of this video, I want your feedback. Let me know in the comments section whether you think I am right or wrong.
For me, Enzo Fernández is undoubtedly the most dislikable and objectionable footballer at the entire World Cup.
There is not one redeeming feature about him. There is absolutely nothing about him that I find even mildly inspiring.
He is a brat.
An objectionable brat. He is incredibly dislikable, and some of his behaviour has genuinely blown my mind.
This is how deep my dislike goes: when anybody tries to defend Enzo Fernández or explain why he is supposedly a good person, I find it morally bankrupt.
I think it is a disgrace that Enzo Fernández is the Chelsea captain. I think it is a disgrace that he has ever had the honour of wearing the captain’s armband.
When you consider the man and the circumstances surrounding Enzo Maresca’s decision to give him that armband, especially after everything we had already seen him do, I genuinely believe it is a stain on the history of Chelsea Football Club that a man like Enzo Fernández ever got his hands on that armband.
Watching Enzo Fernández cost his team the World Cup was incredibly satisfying. He was the architect of Argentina’s downfall and the reason they lost the World Cup final. #NG67

With the war in the gulf getting crazy, @WilliamsRuto don’t send my brothers to a war that has nothing to do with the continent the way you sent cops to Haiti.
Thanks for the shoutout

Proud to be inducted as fellow of @AcadofInventors. Best F*** u to the university systems that sidelined me for innovation awards even when I contributed ~10% of university wide granted patents. @IAStateResearch @iastate @IowaStateU
This afternoon, we were honored to hear from Will Covey, Acting Deputy Under Secretary of Commerce for Intellectual Property and Acting Deputy Director of the U.S. Patent and Trademark Office (@uspto), for a powerful closing keynote on the future of innovation and intellectual property. It’s a privilege to welcome him again this evening as he joins us for the celebration and induction of our newest Class of NAI Fellows!
