Our world is complex and interconnected in unexpected ways. So be wary of those that promise it can all be reduced to one thing and that they know how to solve it. They are always wrong. Systemic problems need systemic thinking and a combined, shared, distributed effort to make changes that stick. Sorry to burst your bubble. But the earlier we understand this, the earlier we can become part of that change. #SundayThought
@jwildeboer When someone offers a simple solution I run away. Exceptions apply :)

@jwildeboer nuance and reason in my timeline? no way!

(I wholeheartedly agree)

@jwildeboer What comes to my mind reading your posting is Frederic Vesters book "Neuland des Denkens" in which he populated this systemic thinking and brought it to a wider audience. The first edition is from 1980, fourty-six years ago.

Nowadays, it seems, most politicians are not interested in systemic thinking, because politics is most often focused on the next election, but not on long-term solutions.

@jwildeboer Not only politicians should open their minds to systemic thinking. All of us have to think about our impact on the world in different ways.
