Part One: Complex World

David Krakauer We live in a complex world, meaning one that is increasingly connected, evolving, technological, volatile, and potentially poised for catastrophe. And yet we continue to treat the world as if it were a simple world: linear, unchanging, disconnected, and infinitely exploitable. Complexity science is an approach to understanding and surviving in a complex world. In this lecture, David Krakauer will expose the limitations of simple assumptions in economics, medicine and healthcare, artificial intelligence, and global governance. We need an entirely new framing of nature, of the human role in the natural and technological world, and what it means to prosper on a living planet.
