Dave Snowden - Complexity on One Slide

We're ending 2023 on a high note!

What is “Complexity on one slide?” Glad you asked.

It’s taken a couple of decades, but a lot of things have started to come together in what Dave Snowden terms anthro-complexity or naturalizing sense-making. Combining Deleuzian Epistemology, Constructor theory from Physics, and Complexity Science will hopefully provide a coherent and easy-to-understand picture of the field. There were always interesting elements, but now they are linked.

In this session, Dave will outline the approach and, as a part of that, dive deeper into Estuarine Mapping, which has taken off a lot faster than expected. Having completed that, he will apply the thinking to current dilemmas and opportunities around what is called AI. Are we moving to a world where only the hyper-rich are allowed to know what is true or false? Is creating a dependency on Chat GBT and the like a threat to human intelligence - dumbing us down to the level where we can be out-competed?
