What is this supposed to be a reference to?
- gshubert17 3y agoPossibly the "Limits to Growth" report (1972) by Meadows, et al. They used a simple model of resources, population, economy, pollution, etc. Some would say an over-simplified model. The report sparked a lot of controversy. I am not aware of significant changes to their World3 model that might be useful trying to integrate climate change models with economic-resource and population models.
- PaulDavisThe1st 3y agoI am very aware of what the Club of Rome is/was. I don't understand what the sentence means.
- gshubert17 3y agoThe last sentence said something about a computationally stable (model/state) of society. I suppose such stability would be helpful in looking for a sustainable economy or society. But I'm not clear either, on what that sentence means.
- tsunamifury 3y agoWe keep trying to measure, calculate, forecast, then offset our world by building increasingly complex system to keep it “stable state” which we then errantly call “natural.”
- maxbond 3y agoWhat a fantastic one sentence summary of taoism and certain schools of anarchism.
