- limitations of scientific paradigms and need for systems thinking
- averagerianism became popular in part because it works on planetary bodies. it doesn't work for complex systems with many many dimensions and control systems
- found myself thinking about core books today, like what I'd consider textbooks for... something. ~ Game B. you don't need these ones in particular, but they play some important roles and you need something to play those roles. if you want to know what order to read them in, message me on twitter: @Malcolm_Ocean and I'll consider it for where you're starting
- candidate textbook list
- Already Free by Bruce Tift
- The Master and his Emissary by Iain McGilchrist
- Meaningness by David Chapman
- something about systems thinking
- Donella Meadows?
- Fifth Discipline?
- Mutual Causality
- also a PCT book by William Powers
- Probably I also want to comment on why each of these covers an important piece.
