why should you give a fuck about this niche ass, inaccessible sophistry?
because that is the way to go on about understanding phenomena in #complexsystems. it is by far not the only way to think about it, systems science is wast and diverse. but it is a good start.
and when you want criticize […]
#systemsdynamics proposed that every possible issue can best be understood by envisioning it as an interconnected whole consisting of
- stocks
- flows
- feedbacks
and delays (which i have not touched on yet, bc it is a mess).
the type of system described above is a certain archetype that […]
There is a lot of hype about the stranded #humpback whale in the #BalticSea. Of course we all want him to survive. Yet if people would care the same about issues that really matter, then we would have a real chance to avoid collapse. People understand #ClimateChange, but it seems to be abstract […]
Love the reference to “Libertarians’ Wrongest Argument.” There's lots of competition for that honor. #LimitstoGrowth #DonellaMeadows #RomeStatute

This is a consequence of our economies addicted to growth!
One cannot grow unlimited forever.
Therefore a correction is needed and will occur from time to time.
The only variable is what time...

I re-read this essay by @charlescmann.bsky.social in February and July every year. It holds. Waiting to see if homo sapiens can turn the biological corner away from self extinction. So far, not looking good.

my direct question to the #systemsthinking community: if you had to redo world3, include the massive effects of social inequality, include big money & power, global, all encompassing #posttruth #misinformation campaigns corrupting the feedbacks - what would it look like?

there were exactly 2 people in these circles that saw coming by a long shot what trump meant. one was heinberg, wrote a whole book about it, called "power". the other was regoczei, computing guy, he always said to me: fascism is a result of local #limitstogrowth collapse. not the big thing, but […]

one concept the collaborationist have is that modern fascism is always a result of local #limitstogrowth #collapse. scarcity from #resource depletion, diminishing returns and complexity fuck ups as the system grows against its limits causing social conflict.
now. let's be perfectly honest with […]
La producción global de crudo, el fácil que sale bajo su propia presión con energía masiva y alta TRE, hizo exactamente lo que los geólogos predijeron: alcanzó su máximo alrededor de 2005. No es una teoría, son datos históricos. El modelo #LimitsToGrowth avisó: el capital se desvió del crecimiento👇👇
Belief in infinite growth with finite resources is a fantasy.
Money is boundless, but Earth is not. This abstraction ignores real-world limits.

as i said: can we please leave non-equilibrium thermodynamics out of the #climatechange #limitstogrowth #degrowth #renewable #energy discussion.
1. it is hell of a stretch
2. it is just confusing and honestly the people who bring this up don't understand the 3rd law and completely misinterpret […]

c) has some basic understanding of the systems- and thermodynamics of living […]

You've probably heard of the prisoner's dilemma.
But what if the simplest possible games of cooperation actually require a minimum of 3 players?

but that is basically all that is said about it in the actual #limitstogrowth report.
and that is one of sort of the shortcomings of it, because wealth inequality was much less when it was done & so it did not account for it.
we are talking about having to live with a lot less, fast, soon. and […]
according to the report, the first peak that we will face, and it might actually happen pretty soon, is the peak in industrial output. a combination of resource depletion, environmental pollution & infrastructure depreciation resulting in diminishing returns and untimely decline of investment in […]
please don't get me wrong. i am not denying the findings of #climatscience or the #limitstogrowth reports. yes, things look really dire. but the lack of true understanding of #systemsdynamics, which is not hard to obtain bc at the end of the day it is just basic observation of nature, will lead […]
the next issue i have with all of this #collapse talk is that people cannot differentiate between running a SD model and crystal ball gazing the future. a SD model does not predict the future. it explores system behavior. the scientific question behind #limitstogrowth was not: when will […]
so basically:
- #overshoot & #collapse as a #systemsdynamics concept are final & different from oscillation. it is not a thing you want to look forward to
- although the #systemsdynamics are the same, collapse can happen slow and gradually. it depends on which variable you look at. when you […]

when you look at the limits to growth world3 model you can see the graphs tracking the stocks and flows taking different shapes. the time frame of decline is not always the same for all variables.
when the decline happens faster than the growth resulting in an asymmetric […]
