My example, would be to take something that seems simple like 1+1=2, its as simple as a concept can get, and somehow its quite possible to turn this into a in depth complex debate based on things from mathematics to the laws of physics. Can you think of some other simple concepts that are simply complex when looked at in multiple mindsets ?

The idea of the path of least resistance. It is a simple concept, but ultimately is responsible for all things in existence and their complexity.

Good question...Hm...ok.. Simple concept: a human has to survive ( primary instinct )... But it gets so complex when interfearing with human values and other concept.. ok, maybe this is not a very good example =)

Yes. The surest way to have peace on earth is for everyone to get along. Otherwise know as "Can't we all just get along?"
Simple concept, very complex to put in place.

The paper clip and post-it notes were invented AFTER the steam engine. So, it must have actually been harder to invent the paper clip and post-it notes than it was to invent the steam engine.
