“The problems that exist in the world today cannot be solved by the level of thinking that created them”. Albert Einstein I have been writing a series of articles, “Are We on the Edge of Chaos”[1][2]. The last article dealt with how power is shifting to city governments and their…

“The history of human civilization reflects a progressive increase in the complexity of large scale behaviors…When the complexity of collective behaviors increases beyond that of an individual human being then hierarchical controls become ineffective. Hierarchically controlled systems must yield to networked systems.”[1] — Yaneer Bar-Yam Years ago, I read the…

“Mathematics is about abstracting away from reality, not about replicating it. And it offers real value in the process. By allowing yourself to view the world from an abstract perspective, you create a language that is uniquely able to capture and describe the patterns and mechanisms that would otherwise remain…

“Unlocking Your Potential Through Self-discovery” It is a pleasure to be here for the Honors College (HC) graduation at Florida International University (FIU). The topic of my talk tonight is “Unlocking Your Potential Through Self-discovery”. …

“What was traditionally considered separate objects of study―on one hand, the freedom of human action, with all its burdens of uncertainty and unpredictability, and, on the other hand, nature, with its inner order―had created a gap between the social and the natural sciences for centuries. …

“…it is the scale of physics where life emerges, but that life itself is a broader phenomenon recurring across different scales, from chemistry to cells to societies–which more generally concerns the interactions of information (an abstract property) with matter.”[2] In Part-1 of this series I discussed how artificial intelligence (AI)…

“The contemplation in natural science of a wider domain than the actual leads to a far better understanding of the actual.” — Sir Arthur Eddington In Part 1 of this series, I said “I will refrain from saying that Generative Artificial Intelligence (AI) is the basis for a third school…

“But the overall pattern is clear: in case after case, when a model can be created and tested, it tends to perform as well as, or better than, human experts making similar decisions. Too often, we continue to rely on human judgment when machines can do better.” …
