Re: The Bee Problem (none / 1)

We are at the stage when we make more problems than we solve.

To put this another way, we're reaching the limits of our ability to manage the level of complexity we've created.

you are the media you consume.

Re: The Bee Problem (none / 1)

In some ways I can't but agree. Oddly, tho', many problems we're seeing (if one has the eyes) in the bio-sphere are the result of a reduction in Complexity.

Re: The Bee Problem (4.00 / 2)

We do not even make a conscious effort to manage the complexity we are generating. We are just minding each own buisiness, piously believing that Free Market will solve everything.

Iraq's war is a typical example of the modern approach - you do "what you have to do", and then discover the next level of mess.
