Physics is one of the least systems oriented sciences. It is also the easiest science when it comes down to brass tacks. Because physics can make so many simplifying assumptions, it has very few tools to tackle systems. Most physicists I

There are already colleges like this that are basically ignored by the status quo. For example, the College of the Atlantic has a single degree in human ecology. It's a requirement to have a multidisciplinary course selection plan that

But propaganda? What is the agenda, then, and what would be obtained through that agenda? There are very clear issues in both society and the environment that are both directly and indirectly caused by the obsession with growth.

It's a bit contrarian to make up your own taxonomy. No one calls a colony of ants, humans, bees, etc. a single animal. And in all of your examples, the separate animals are nearly clones of each other, anatomically speaking. That isn&#

It still doesn't make Python's dependency management not to be horrible. Every other modern language has a single tool for these built-in. Python doesn't, with half of the tools coming with the core and half of the tools comi

What companies use consultants and how? In all my years, I have never seen a consultant or a need for one, so I have a tough time understanding how they make any money, much less a lot of it.
