Indeed very interesting and thought provoking.<br /><br />As Mike said above, human 'greed' should also be factored in to understand the disasters -- alienating oneself (or the human species as a whole at another level) from the One Universe that is!<br /><br />Hope and wish you will provide access to Jim's full article too.ramesamhttp://beyond-advaita.blogspot.com/noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-22093933.post-82520342547956694342010-10-15T09:48:23.358-05:002010-10-15T09:48:23.358-05:00Deric, this is a great brief synopsis!
I would ad...Deric, this is a great brief synopsis!<br /><br />I would add to the description of our difficulty, that as a culture, our felt sense of the normal way of things--whether natural or one of our artifacts like an economy--still, is that things occur by way of Newtonian Physics; every event is the next link of a linear causal chain: Any solution only requires that we find the problem link. (Freud anyone?)<br /><br />But as I understand the way the science of Complexity sees things, large scale events occur from a non-linear type of "causation" called Emergence.<br /><br />What's interesting to me about the idea of Emergence, is that its dynamic arises, not from a force in terms of its quantitative features alone, but from forces in terms of some QUALITATIVE features as well.<br /><br />So for example, as we analyze our economic melt down, we have to do more than look through a lens of a causal chain and simple force. We have to also analyze the 'quality' behind the the inputs which gave rise to the emergent phenomenon in the first place.<br /><br />What this means on the front side of things, is that we can't command and control an economy. What we can do though, is shape the quality of our inputs. Greed based inputs will result in the emergence of results characterized by greed.Mike Gottschalkhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03570606130437615456noreply@blogger.com
