Complex systems are powerful, not because we create them (we can’t), but because they’re bigger than us.

BLOG: "The Canny Valley & Complex Conflicts"

Does looking at individual “lived experience” give an important view into qualitative mindset, or impute one person’s subjective experience to an entire class? (Answer: Depends on how you use it.)
