Occam's Razor

"In simpler language, Occam’s razor states that the simplest explanation is preferable to one that is more complex. Simple theories are easier to verify. Simple solutions are easier to execute." - Farnham Street

Helps you make quick decisions with the information you have to hand at the time (usually the most essential and bare minimum of assumptions) - form the simplest hypothesis

And encourages you to gather more information/evidence before completing a comprehensive deep-dive into the subject/scenario/problem

All other things being equal, the simplest solution is often the best/correct one

Occam's razor states that you should not use more 'entities' than needed to explain anything - avoid the more elaborate explanation

"It advocates simplicity by focusing on key elements of the problem, eliminating improbable options and finding solutions with less assumptions." - Tech Tello
