Complex Systems

I rewatched a video from 2016 again this morning, and I felt so in sync I want to stop and take notes.
I told myself I would let it run and I will take everything in. That I would later find the time to rewatch it and take notes to explore the ideas further.
But no, I did not have the time today.
There were many, many good things Dave Snowden said in that talk, but I will just explore one:
Managing the present to create a new direction of travel is more important than creating false expectations about how things could be in the future.
This is such a powerful way of thinking.
He then goes on to say:
It’s about time we start dealing with the reality of our day-to-day and stop talking about how we would like things to be in five year’s time.
Here is the link to the full talk on youtube.

That one hit hard, I must say. But on its own, it may be a bit antagonizing. I do agree that in the context it was presented it served its purpose.
I like this quote:
In other words, individual change means nothing without the systems to support them.
