You are not clever

"Microcosm of the macrocosm" is not a clever phrase. You are not clever for saying it. By definition of the words, a microcosm is a small, representative universe, while a macrocosm is the universe. Saying "microcosm" is exactly the same thing as saying "microcosm of the macrocosm." It is not clever. It is wordy and redundant.

The end.
