Dear Michel,
Google as God?
"..strongly variable, highly complex systems cannot be properly managed by planning, optimization and top-down control. This calls for a fundamental paradigm shift."
In this article, written by Dirk Helbing of ETH Zurich, Dirk looks at the fundamental tension between top-down surveillance and control in a global social system that is growing ever more complex and unstable. We need a paradigm shift, Dirk argues, to what he calls a "democratic, participatory market society". A thought-provoking essay from one of Europe's leading complexity theorists.
Best wishes,
Greg Fisher
