Ethics, Worldview & Influence

Parts, Patterns, And Systems

In 1972, a young American scientist named Donella Meadows helped write a book called The Limits to Growth that made some of the first computer models of how the whole planet actually works as a system. Her whole career after that was about teaching people to stop looking at isolated events and start looking at the systems those events live inside. In this lesson you will learn what a system is, practise spotting feedback loops, map a real system from your own life, and capture one insight that changes how you see an issue.
