  • This talk was given at a local TEDx event, produced independently of the TED Conferences. A global recession sparked by a speculative bubble in a single domestic market, a regional uprising sparked by one man’s self immolation, a devastating storm sparked by individual fossil fuel consumption - in the aftermath of each event, millions of people found themselves at the mercy of conditions outside of their control. The script for the 21st century continues to repeat itself: connectedness begets complexity, complexity begets uncertainty, and uncertainty begets chaos. How do organizations prepare for events they can’t foresee? The answer lies in the science of complex systems, the most ambitious organizations of our time, and our own courage to embrace uncertainty.

    About TEDx, x = independently organized event In the spirit of ideas worth spreading, TEDx is a program of local, self-organized events that bring people together to share a TED-like experience. At a TEDx event, TEDTalks video and live speakers combine to spark deep discussion and connection in a small group. These local, self-organized events are branded TEDx, where x = independently organized TED event. The TED Conference provides general guidance for the TEDx program, but individual TEDx events are self-organized.* (*Subject to certain rules and regulations)

    Bud, I find you to be a delightful spokesperson for embracing the marvelous complexity that truly is life. Great talk, man!

    So... How will complex systems save us?
    I've seen a lot of videos like this, giving examples of simple solutions that fail. But where are all the complex solutions that actually work???

      Hey! Guess the talk really didnt show any specific solutions, it was actually an, yes superficial, introduction about the theme. The main idea about it, as I know as student of complex systems, is that you create your model out of the complex system and than you can choose the better action to take from the system/data.

    OK, premis: Complexity theory is subjectively uncertain but objectively predictable, a complicated scenario prone to exponential entropy unless monitored and structured 'entropologically' (sic) so as to maintain the equilibrium flux that is always present in complex constructs, and hopefully, collectively, discover a perpetual motion slution to the initial complexity. That being the premis the inverse square law must apply and become the ever present nemisis of complexity denying perpetual motion solution. Therefore perpetual incompleteness, perpetual indeterminacy and perpetual innocent ignorance will always randomly return to shake up the complacency of objectivised structure. There is no final solution....

      This is how people write that would like to be scientists but are actually low level accountants in regional branches of predatory insurance firms

    This crook raised $18,000 in crowdfunding to write a book. He ran off with the money and never delivered.
    I guess complex systems couldn't save him.

      I don't understand what makes him so special either. His intelligence appears perfectly average to me.
