“The notion of emergence at many levels is an important one, as each level of emergence can serve as a convenient point at which to dissect the larger system and attempt to understand some of its secrets. Indeed, the boundaries of modern science rely on this property—for example, physics resolves into chemistry, which resolves into biology, which resolves into psychology, which resolves into economics, and so on. Each new science is able to exploit the emergence that is attained by the previous level.”
From Chapter 4 of “Complex Adaptive Systems” by Miller and Page

“In the late 1990s, there was much prognostication about the sub-computer future. It would put leapfrog theory into action, allowing developing economies to catch up with industrialized nations in one generation. But despite all the publicity and investment, usable sub-computers have not become the holy grail. Only the educated middle class has adopted them. The mass of people, especially in the rural and suburban regions of developing economies, have not. The issues extend beyond expense and availability, because no usable technology has been developed for these potential users. We often hear media-friendly examples, like the fisher- man who checks the weather forecast on the web. While these stories amuse people at conferences and NGO forums, the truth is that such users are rare. Most of the applications on computers have little utility for a sub-literate mass population.”

Ethical supply is not impossible or even necessarily bad for business:
“At Li & Fung, a logistics company serving major brands and retailers, the reward for better behavior is better financial terms; “good suppliers” get paid 15 or 30 days faster than others. Ireland-based firm PCH International, a custom design manufacturer, borrows funds for its best performing suppliers at interest rates far lower than a factory would likely have to pay if it tried to borrow money from the bank.”

The secret to life is to be able to make vegetables taste good. Succeed in this and the world is yours. You will eat better, more cheaply, and stress out the planet a little less.

Love these videos.
Is the left-leaning designer who creates brand identities more of an oxymoron than the right-leaning commercial designer? Can you help maintain and stimulate a right-wing ideology, and then say with credibility that you’re of the left?
Hannah Ellis
I think this brings up something that doesn’t get talked about very often, but there is a little bit more nuance to this. Hannah writes about British politics, of which I’m not very familiar, but I think it’s fair to say that many people who don’t really love neoliberalism still believe in free markets and capitalism - just one in where the most good is achieved through efficient market allocations without the efficiency hindering monopolies and other such things that fail to meet assumptions for efficient allocations in the theory, often ironically perpetuated by neoliberal policies themselves. So there is a place for being “left” and maintaining and stimulating free market economics, if not right-wing ideology. But I wouldn’t argue that creating brand identities is anti-left. All this being said, I call myself an independent.
