Confucius

Woman asks:
If I sleep with 3 men, everyone calls me a slut. But when a man sleeps
with 8 girls, everyone calls him a real man. How come?

Man replies:
It's very simple. Confucius says 'When one lock can be opened by 3
different keys, it's a bad lock. But when one key can open 8 different locks, we call it a master key'.

Bonini's paradox

Models or simulations that explain the workings of complex systems are seemingly impossible to construct.

"As a model of a complex system becomes more complete, it becomes less understandable; for it to be more understandable it must be less complete and therefore less accurate. When the model becomes accurate, it is just as difficult to understand as the real-world processes it represents."
