Algorithmic governance fails because it treats society like a closed loop. Complex systems theory shows us that rigid rules cannot predict emergent behavior. We need flexible frameworks instead of hardcoded logic. #system #complexity #governance

More reasons to end Russo-Ukrainian and USA-Iran wars: "..most conflicts exhibit periods of relative stasis, each additional year of fighting carries roughly a 10% ex ante risk of a doubling in severity and about a 1% risk of increasing by an order of magnitude" https://doi.org/10.1126/sciadv.aeb1705 🧪 #Complexity

A quotation from Homer Sing to me of the man, Muse, the man of twists and turns … driven time and again off course, once he had plundered    the hallowed heights of Troy. Many cities of men he saw and learned their minds, many pains he suffered, heartsick on the open sea, fighting to save his life and bring his comrades home.   [Ἄνδρα μοι ἔννεπε, Μοῦσα, πολύτροπον, ὃς μάλα πολλὰ πλάγχθη, ἐπεὶ Τροίης ἱερὸν πτολίεθρον ἔπερσε· πολλῶν δ’ ἀνθρώπων ἴδεν ἄστεα καὶ νόον ἔγνω, πολλὰ δ’ ὅ γ’ ἐν πόντῳ πάθεν ἄλγεα ὃν κατὰ θυμόν, ἀρνύμενος ἥν τε ψυχὴν καὶ νόστον ἑταίρων.] Homer (fl. 7th-8th C. BC) Greek author The Odyssey [Ὀδύσσεια], Book 1, l. 1ff (1.1-5) (c. 700 BC) [tr. Fagles (1996)] More about (and translations of) this quote: wist.info/homer/46407/ #quote #quotes #quotation #qotd #homer #odyssey #character #complexity #epic #hero #introduction #journey #protagonist #quest #muse
