It also occurs to me that there is a hard, or technical and rational, side to these economic problems as well as a soft, or human and ethical side. When you...
Kurt, My simple contribution is in to support complexity - thank you for the alert! Steve PS - perhaps we can do some research on those darn butterflies? ...

I would have to say Sun / Moon / Sun system is simple, for the "simple" fact that we can predict exact trajectories for tens of thousands of years. The same...
Buck, wise words. I did not pick on Gaia's post, because she did not identify what she calls 'complex' (system?) and any addition may be erroneous. If we...
Buck, I just picked up on part of this thread. I was just reading about Spinoza this morning. It is amazing how this Gaia mentality described below, starts in ...
Bill, (I guess you wanted to write Sun / Moon / Earth system?) but never mind. Take the participants of your system and look at them. Do they DO anything? or...
Gaia :-) Buck, John, Jon: (First, I wish I had thought of nick-naming myself Gaia; it fits me in so many ways.) Secondly, Your notions of islands in a...
Dear Jerry, I knew a 'Gaia' - (Galina), a beautiful, excellent minded-hearted intelligent blond lady who emigrated west, from "Leningrad" (sic) after WWII. A...

A Buddhist friend (Lyn Hartley) shared this with me, knowing my interest in complexity. Having very little knowledge of Buddhism I won't comment except to say...
Sounds fine, I agree with Alice MacGillivray(?) in VERY little knowledge in Buddhism I wonder if they point by "complexity theory" to the convolutedness of the...
The entire paradigm of postmoderism is based on eastern thought, including all of science, not just the complexity paradigm. Just as ,in similar fashion, all...
