Continued thread

quotes from the text:

"The concepts rejected as “not complex enough” might be simple building blocks, like molecules in a living body, that can be combined with other concepts to create a framework that can handle an adequate amount of complexity."

"I.e. that the black box has only the purpose of simplification and not that of knowledge elitism and hidden power structures."

I wrote down some reflections on the complex anarchism symposium I attended in May and the talk I gave there about anarcho-communist economics. The text covers discussions around the question of which concepts and tools should be discarded as too central or too dominant in the anarchist context and which structures and tools are required to adequately handle complex systems in a non-hierarchical way.

Heliox: Where Evidence Meets Empathy 🇨🇦

I've been thinking about this problem a lot lately, especially after diving deep into the architecture of a podcast called Heliox: Where Evidence Meets Empathy. What I found wasn't just another show trying to make complex topics digestible—it was a masterclass in how to build frameworks for understanding that can cut through the noise.

Thanks for listening today!

re-#introduction
Hi Fediscience! I am an Assistant Professor of Mechanical Engineering at University of Hawaiʻi at Mānoa (Honolulu). I got here starting from Physics training with many scientific detours into data-driven models, complex systems, nanomaterial self-assembly, human learning of complex networks, naval ships, and design problems.
I grew up in Belarus and have *opinions* on that region of the world. I've been on Fediverse since late 2022 when *something* happened to our previous cybersocial infrastructure, but the previous server I was on is sunsetting. Please come say hi and recommend cool people to follow here.
I have a blog with longer thoughts on science-adjacent topics.

My new lab, the Toulouse Biotechnology Institute (France), is offering a 2-year #postdoc position in complex systems modeling on circular economy issues: toulouse-biotechnology-institu

The subject is open for co-construction so I'd say there's a lot of potential to do something nice for anyone who wants the freedom to structure their own research. The supervisors are very nice and the lab is very welcoming, 100% recommend 😉

If you know people who might be interested, please share this!

How do government software systems break—and how can we fix them?

Mikey Dickerson (healthcare.gov rescue, USDS) talks with @patio11 about procurement, crisis engineering, and why modernization plans often make things worse before they get better.

A great listen for anyone in civic tech or public service.

Complex Systems · Fixing government technology, with Mikey DickersonWhy government software, and service delivery more broadly, is so frequently borked, and how to fix it.

Most textbook examples use somewhat boring monochrome visuals for Cellular Automata. In a series of posts, I’m exploring how to bring these lifelike systems to life through color. Here's the first one, where I experiment with color gradients to paint evolving landscapes.
