The world is getting exponentially more complex – here’s how we navigate it

Summary

Ragnar van der Merwe and Alex Broadbent writing in the Conversation, make the following points:

• “Complex” doesn’t just mean “complicated”: it means that the parts of a system may interact to create new properties.
• There are different approaches to navigating complexity as follows:
  • The “analytic approach” .reduces complex systems to a set of laws.
  • The “postmodern”, is where success is due to luck.
  • The “reasoning heuristics” look at the past to forecast the future.
