Paco Nathan - Thinking in "graphs", a data and tech pioneer on living in a complex world

I have trouble wrapping any adequate labels around this episode’s guest, Paco Nathan. Paco is a technologist, data scientist and an evangelist of a brighter data and technology future. He has an uncommon ability to synthesize the gaps and trends in this complex and evolving space, and gives me hope that we can create a more flourishing future within it.Show Notes:Origins of Artificial Intelligence and mentors (06:00)Humberto Maturana ("What the frog's eye tells the frog's brain")Fernando FloresFrancisco VarelaTerry WinogradCybernetics by Norbert Weiner (06:30)Project Cybersyn (07:00)Autopoiesis and Cognition by Humberto Maturana and Francisco VarelaExpert systems (13:20)Bell Labs (16:30)Hopfield network (16:50)Systems thinking (22:30)What is data science?
