Three Deep Truths
The title may sound misleading, because it is not about absolute truths, but the levels of the search for truth. We go through our whole brain. And everything is connected, but everything is also true in itself. They can only be different perspectives. And our lives are easier and better when we can see all…

Die drei tiefen Wahrheiten
(The same blog entry in English.) Der Titel mag irreführend klingen, denn es geht nicht um absolute Wahrheiten, sondern die Ebnen der Wahrheitssuche. Wir gehen durch unser ganzes Gehirn.

Hierarchy Is Not Natural – Part 1
This is not new. Actually, it’s not even worthwhile to mention because it’s so obvious. Only simple, mechanical systems created by humans have a hierarchy. All natural systems are complex. Complexity can’t have a hierarchy because everything is connected to everything else. We have multidimensional superposition and dependencies. That’s what complexity is—many very simple elements…

The Illusion of Control: Why We Cling to Simplicity in a Complex World
In the bustling world of business, complexity surrounds us like a dense fog. We know that complexity can bring innovation and opportunity, yet, paradoxically, we often revert to seeking control. Why do we still believe we can steer the ship directly towards increased revenue, even when we understand the unpredictable nature of complex systems? Let’s…
