The Rhys Show

Yaneer Bar-Yam, a complexity scientist and founding president of the New England Complex Systems Institute, dives into the intricacies of complex systems. He discusses how Ashby's Law is crucial in navigating decentralized technologies like cryptocurrency. Topics include the importance of adaptive regulatory frameworks, the principles of anti-fragility, and the need for collective action to tackle global challenges.
