Andy and Helen (Cyber|Show) on Fixing The System

Posted by Roy Schestowitz on Oct 14, 2023

I've just been notified that the Cyber|Show (cybershow.uk) has this new episode on Fixing The System. Their episodes are usually spot-on [1, 2] and cover technology from a unique (compared to the so-called 'mainstream') angle. Remember that unique does not mean incorrect. Here's the less direct link to their new episode.

The summary says: "In this episode of reflections, Helen and Andy analyse the work of the late Dana Meadows, one of the greatest systems thinkers. Helen starts by reading from Leverage Points: Places to Intervene in a System."

This covers economic "growth" and population growth (overpopulation rather). We need different growth, if not a lot less of it.

The episode is relatively (by their standards) short. It's 27 minutes long and it focuses on Donella Meadows, author of Thinking In Systems: A Primer. (Chelsea Green Publishing ISBN 978-1-60358-055-7) █
