    Just a quick note - "positive" and "negative" are confusing to students (and practitioners) just because of the reason alluded to in the video - positive often implies beneficial, and negative the opposite, but it really describes the direction the response has to the disturbance. I've been using "reinforcing" and "balancing" (respectively) - seems to work better.

      +Jonas Gustafsson Like any medium for presenting information, the only value it holds is in the information it presents and how well that information is articulated. The medium itself is irrelevant if the only goal is to present information. Now, one can argue (and it is safe to say many would agree) that certain media is better than others at instilling strong feelings (ex. a game can be better than a movie at self-reflection since it is the player doing the action), but this is not always the case.
      In other words, a cartoon is just a cartoon. It is used (arguably) well to teach here. Any other meaning one attaches to this is based on cultural norms. (One of this being, for example, that in many western nations, it is common to say cartoons are mindless.) It is a fallacy to denounce the potential for learning simply by judging the medium in which it is presented. ^u^

    Great video. I think this is how the wave function collapses in physics. You start with a probability wave which is made up of e.g. a photon in a variety of different possible places e.g 30% likely to be here, 30% likely to be there 30% likely to be over there etc & then you measure where the particle is which SOMEHOW (noone knows how) 'collapses' the wave function so that the photon's location is 100% likely to be in 1 place. I think there's feedback between the measurement & the wave that rapidly amplifies the probability

    When things go sideways…. We have to find pathways toward better correction and positive feedback loops. I’ve been telling my kids since they were little… “what’s the most important thing about falling down?”. They call back, “get back up”. They are the teenagers now, so I don’t get the same calm back… :).
    The concept of human centric positive feedback loops is decent. The iron sharpens iron concept with health, climate and tools can help.

    This is what I've been trying to tell people for 2 years on my channel. There's a feedback loop that governs a certain social dynamic in our country. Let's just say there's a "group A" that feels oppressed, and treated unfairly. Due to this feeling, they behave in certain ways. It completely shapes their culture (in negative ways). Due to how this culture is perceived by a certain other group, this other group, "group B" _does_ treat group A in exactly the way group A expected: unfairly. This is a feedback that group A doesn't see. You think you're treated a certain way, and YOU ARE, but you don't realize it's your own behavior that creates this feedback loop.
    Think of it this way. If there were never reports of pitbull attacks, would anyone have certain stereotypical views of pitbulls in general? Where do you think those views came from? Out of thin air? I don't know what else I can say. I'm ready to pull my hair out. I've been trying to teach these concepts for about two years, and I have NO AUDIENCE. No one ever shares my videos, no one ever gives me a chance. You know what they call this? THE CASSANDRA COMPLEX.

      We have created software that can predicted with about 80% accuracy whether or not a song will be in the top 40 based on patterns, that and we've created software that can create pop songs based on a simple set of rules and randomized input. So software can generate a hit off of just random input. The point in feed back loops allow complex system to spontaneously generate based on very simple rules, and feedback. Look up Logistic map, the game of Life (chaos theory not the board game), or really any subject in chaos theory. Chaos theory that very very complex systems can and do arise with out the need of any designer.

      You seem to misunderstand my point. We might have identified the rules that make pop music popular , but those rules spontaneously arose through a series of cultural and economic feedback loops. Further my other examples have 0 need for a designer. Chaos theory proves complexity can arise from spontaneously with out any need of a designer. The Watch maker argument is incorrect.

      ***** It is organized, and that has nothing to do with "intelligent design." We are the designers; all of it, all of us, everything.
