What happens when a system gets too big? - Matt Maier: Complexity Thinker

from Crazy Wisdom Hosted by Stewart Alsop III | AI, Consciousness & Technology

Here are some of my favorite questions: What is the lifespan of an average system? Why does a system prioritize its own existence? How do adaptable systems manage inertia? Why is real estate so stable? Why are corn and soybeans such a good investment in the mid-west? What is regulatory capture? Why humans are so crazy about curiosity? How does consciousness help us eat, have sex, poop, and sleep better? What is the point of subconsciousness? What does it mean to be a system engineer? Can the systems of technology and the systems of nature coexist? Is a human pushing a rock off a cliff an example of technology? How would you describe the intention of a tree? What percent of services are automated now? What percentage will be in five years? Follow Matt on Twitter: @thatmatt
