To: Michel Bauwens <michel@p2pfoundation.net>
Dear Michel,
Chinese Thinking and Complexity
"...when I talk about Complexity theory with fellow Westerners who are unaware of complex systems, I sometimes feel they think me insane because my framing sits uncomfortably with their view of the world. Equivalently, when I have the same conversation with Chinese people, they often think me insane because what I am saying is blindingly obvious."
At a conference I attended last week in Singapore, a question occurred to me about whether the Chinese mind-set is more conducive to Complexity theory than the Western mind-set. At the conference, research was presented suggesting there was a material difference between the two. I discuss this in the article, concluding that it might well be that the Chinese tend to think more "complexly" than Westerners.
Best wishes,
Greg Fisher
