Standard physicist bullshit, wandering over to "fix" another field. "Oh, we can just treat any complex system as a parametric model. These idiots don't know how to do parametric modeling like we do!" Noodles around a bit, encounters insurmountable complexity of system, grows bored and wanders off... At the end of the day this is someone forcing his bad analogy down our throats while wearing a cloak made of mathematics.

Wait. Don't tell me. You're an anthropologist, and your significant other eloped with a physicist. Otherwise how do we explain your hissy fit? > grows bored and wanders off... Before even 30 SECONDS of the video is up West says he's been doing this for 10 to 15 YEARS. And there's a team of EIGHT of them (at least) http://www.santafe.edu/research/cities-scaling-and-sustainability/ http://www.santafe.edu/research/cities-scaling-and-sustainab... and if you had listened to the video you would have heard him say that one of them is an urban economist which last time I checked tend to work on complex adaptive systems. > forcing his bad analogy down our throats How do I say this? What are you smoking?
