You Are Not So Smart

286 - Notes on Complexity - Neil Theise


Listen Later

In this episode we sit down with professor Neil Theise, the author of Notes on Complexity,  to get an introduction to complexity theory, the science of how complex systems behave – from cells to human beings, ecosystems, the known universe, and beyond – and we explore if Ian Malcolm was right when he told us in Jurassic Park that "Life, um, finds a way."
