One thought on “Living in a Complex World (a trialogue)”
Adam’s question about supply-chains crossing imaginary boundaries between the “local” and the far reaching, was a key one as it introduced actual/existing complexity into the discussion which ironically was composed mostly around bits of yer other guest grossly simplifying complex matters into manageable widgets/apps, a good reminder that we are generally composed of cog-biases that work directly against grasping that complex systems are truly complex, part of why I admire Isabelle Stengers’ dire warnings about the unintended consequences of our inevitable simplifications while know that her insights will be lost to most… https://syntheticzero.net/2016/12/16/the-black-box-the-world-of-cybernetics/
