Complex systems can evolve from simple systems only if there are stable intermediate forms. (Donella Meadows, 2008. Thinking in Systems)
Economy: Unilever factory-in-a-container. Pound as the canary in a coalmine. Reality is a game. The B2B 100-trillion market. Chips wars. Tesla EVs dropping ultrasound sensors.
Infrastructure: French C15 wins over any pickup. EV car and apartment hunting. Iranian drones on open-market hardware.
Education: Fewer girls in high school science classes. Half of GenZ skipping college.
Other side: Metaverse and open standards. AI invisibility clock.
Random: Nuance over novelty. Garden and walls. Biomaterials. Add and subtract. Hallucinations and the mind. SciFi and post-COVID19 dystopias.
