"Considering our current unsustainable culture, and recognizing that human culture is an example of a complex system, we may expect a breakdown or breakthrough. Breakdown being the eventual loss of self-repair in the system and inadvertent transitioning to a new state. Breakthrough also refers to the transitioning to a new state, be it inadvertently, bringing forth a new, more desirable (dynamic) equilibrium, in this example a more sustainable human culture conducive to life." ??This is a quote from a recent blog post published by Tycho Huussen who recently took the Capra Course.

How Can a Systems Lens Help Make Sense of the Unraveling? Join Jeremy Lent and Morag Gamble in a conversation with Dr. Fritjof Capra on Friday, Jan 10th to explore how systems thinking might help us comprehend these times. As the world prepares for the inauguration of US President-elect Donald Trump, there is every reason to believe that a political cataclysm is about to erupt. The election of someone who has vowed to be a “dictator” on day one to head the world’s most powerful country, with minimal institutional or legal restraints on his power, could turn out to be one of the most momentous events in the history of the modern world. In a broader global context, we are facing accelerating climate breakdown in the wake of the disastrous COP in Azerbaijan, worsening ecological devastation around the planet, dangerous global conflicts, and an ever-widening gulf of inequality between elites and the rest of humanity that is unsurpassed in history. Much of the world is struggling to make sense of what is unfolding, and what it will mean in the years ahead. It is increasingly clear that the dominant world order is unraveling—but where do we go from here? On January 10 at 1 pm Pacific, global permaculture leader Morag Gamble will be facilitating a conversation with world-renowned systems theorist Fritjof Capra and Jeremy Lent on the systemic dynamics that underlie this fateful moment in the human story.

"According to the systems view of life, all life forms are intelligent. They interact with their environment cognitively through sensory organs; and as these organs become more complex, so do the corresponding cognitive processes. Eventually, we have the evolution of brains, nervous systems, and human consciousness. The ability to form abstract concepts is a key feature of our consciousness, and human intelligence today includes the abstractions we associate with mathematics and with computers — algorithms, mathematical models, and so on. However, these mathematical abstractions are peripheral to the intelligence inherent in all living beings. Living intelligence is tacit and always organically embodied. Its key quality is the ability of being in the world, of moving around in it and surviving in it. With the development of artificial intelligence, we have overemphasized algorithms and other mathematical abstractions, and have neglected our tacit, embodied, living intelligence. As a consequence, our ability of being in the world — in other words, our wisdom — has dramatically diminished. A society that sees making money, rather than human well-being, as its main goal, and in the process of doing so destroys the natural environment on which human survival depends, cannot be deemed very intelligent. The critical question, in my view, is: which uses of AI are helpful and appropriate, and which are inappropriate because, although they enhance the mathematical aspects of human intelligence, they may diminish our embodied intelligence, or wisdom, of how we should live." ~ Dr. Fritjof Capra The quote above is an excerpt of a recent interview Fritjof did for La Lettura, an Italian Newspaper - here's the link to read the article in Italian: https://lnkd.in/gYMUjNGJ Join the Capra Course learning community and develop the leadership skills needed to face the systemic challenges of our time!
