Dr. Peter Erdi : Cybernetics, Lessons from Moana , Writing Books | TheSenchyPody #8

Message from Dr. Erdi: "I thank my former students Brad Flaugher, Elliot Paquette, Griffin Drutchas, Jerrod Howlett, and Trevor Jones for establishing the Interdisciplinary Fund for Complex Systems Studies at Kalamazoo College" Dr. Erdi is Henry R. Luce Professor of Complex Systems Studies at Kalamazoo College, and one of the most fascinating and unique professors I've had the privilege of learning from. His teachings are not only incredibly interesting but also highly relevant to human society, though often misunderstood by many. In this podcast, we explore a wide range of topics—from life in Hungary and complex systems to lessons from the Disney movie Moana and the field of cybernetics.
