Systems Change: Context

The term systems change is quite a new one but it is certainly no accident that it has come to our collective vocabulary at these times. In many ways, we can recognize it as an emerging response to the conditions of our age and the way that our world has evolved over the past few decades. A such it should be of value to us to say a bit about this broader context in our endeavor to better understand systems change.

Systems thinking is blowing my mind. In a good way.

This whole channel is underrated. Can you guys do a video suggesting all the books and resources available in Systems Science and related domains?

I notice that I can't save the Systems Change: Course Intro video to a playlist or comment on it.

Is there a reason the Intro has been set to "for kids"? I would like to save it to a playlist to share with others, along with other Systems Innovation introduction videos. The aim is to show them what you offer and generate interest.

You guys should really rethink the name of the two terms “Mess” and “Wicked Problems” in my opinion.

Given the content is based on reason and objectivity and is presented accordingly, it brings into question wether or not those words are loaded. Especially when the terms themselves are directly related to our current systems of governance.

Complexity can be solved. Sustainability or sustenance for life, organisations or governments can be achieved by redesigning them and taking away their shared first cause: trying to operate beyond the limitations of reality (Realimiteit) and ignoring feedback. If you are interested, I have reduced complexity and offer a plausible solution which I believe you could offer the public.
