8/ The Black Swan by @nntaleb (21) Cracked my world view. Truly opened me to the possibility that every authority figure in my life up to that point had no idea what they were talking about and I could/had to figure it out on my own

Side effect of paycheck-to-paycheck culture is a total lack of slack at the societal level -- everyone is obligated to keep moving, keep mixing. We can't adapt. twitter.com/imleslahdin/st…

If we cannot perceive and make sense of complex systems, including honesty about what we cannot know, we are doomed to keep trying futile interventions, to keep trying to fix things in ways that actually makes it worse.

Recognizing our ignorance in this light, even without an understanding of the theory of complex systems, we can perceive ourselves as a danger to ourselves and those around us. We are fumbling about.

yet we do not have the theoretical or practical understanding of complex systems that is required for us to use them skillfully.

We engage with and use complex systems all the time - in the regulation of our nuclear power plants, in the organization of our companies, and in the conduct of our personal daily lives,

This danger of illiteracy and lack of know-how is analogous to how we operate with complex systems today.

Imagine the driver has had no practice either, no understanding or know-how. They've never been taught about driving and they've never tried it before. If they get on the road, they are a danger to themselves and everyone around them.

On Ashby's Law of Requisite Variety:
In everyday life, it's much easier to understand it as a practical matter than an abstract one, so let us simply consider the driver of an automobile. Imagine a driver with no understanding of the theory of driving a car.

Seems noise is amplifying the signal of something that has been true for a long time: to cultivate the inner and one's boundaries is primary to anything beyond the essential cares of the outer. Haters gonna hate.
