Systems Thinking in a Digital World - Peter Senge

Peter Senge explores how we have shifted in to a new generation of systems thinking. He asks us to think about how we use technology and how that technology influences, for better and worse, the ways we communicate and connect.

It seems that the further we are from “being childlike” and observant of nature’s cycles and wisdom, the more damage we create through our “advanced knowledge”. Exception introduction to you Mr Senge (3/6/22)

Peter Senge is a great teacher, natural, simple and those friendly small giggles he keeps to keep you listening and connected with his words.

when people are beginning to see connectedness, majority of the problems can be resolved. very nice video in the end.

This is a comprehensive and engaging piece. A book with like-minded material I read was pivotal. "The Art of Meaningful Relationships in the 21st Century" by Leo Flint

John Vincent Atanasoff built the first Digital Computer in the 1930s. 'Challenges to his claim were resolved in 1973 when the Honeywell v. Sperry Rand lawsuit ruled that Atanasoff was the inventor of the computer.' - Wikipedia, Atanassoff-berry computer. He comes from a Bulgarian family that lived near by Yambol! Regards, Viktor

imho, he's not making much about the rivers in India: melting glaciers would cause more water in the rivers, not less.
(the real issue is water-management in for example Pakistan). In the last 400years (since Little Ice Age), those glaciers lost about 40%.

The video of the end of it...too much!

Had me up until the pseudoscientific AGW bit, surely he should know about the natural climate change system and the Gaia homeostatic system, not to mention the long-term data.

Guess what, those 6 year Olds are better System's thinkers than most of us today. They'll make excellent leaders and problem solvers.

Lost me at global warming. He’s a great systems thinker and speaker but the consumption of energy around the world as the reason why the rivers are dry in northern India is a poor example of interdependence. Complexity is not being considered and he is using a solution that belongs in the obvious domain. Man’s impact on global warming is not completely understood. Prior to the machine age the earth has had significant warming and cooling occur. Do we add to it? Of course. Should we knowing hurt the earth? Absolutely not. However, let’s use proper systems thinking to solve such problems which includes appreciating complexity Dr Senge. I’m sure if you had not already adopted an obvious solution you would agree.

Moral relativist nonsense. He is trying to tell them the truth that stating to another what is real is demanding obedience. haha. So his whole lecture, every time he makes a declarative sentence, is according to him a disrespectful act of overbearingness. Psychologist nonsense. He is a relativist and therefore denying his ability to say a single truth.

Great speaker on systems, poor understanding of climate science and river.
