This graphic illustrates a key aspect of systems change, that to be successful we must work on both sides of the equation - the growth of the new & disintegration of the old. You can learn more with this guide: is.gd/qqSn9E Next event here: is.gd/hxF5F5

🎙️ Episode 2 of the 'Nature of Intelligence' season is out on #Complexity podcast! What’s the relationship between language and thought? Complex language is unique to the human species. It’s part of how we evolved, the backbone of our societies, and one of the primary ways we judge others’ intellect. Is it our intelligence that leads to our language abilities, or conversely, does our ability for language enhance our intelligence, or both? How do language and thinking interact? And can one exist without the other? Join our guests @ev_fedorenko, @spiantado & @glupyan to explore this important and often contentious debate. Listen now complexity.simplecast.com or visit santafe.edu/culture/podcasts #NatureofIntelligence #ComplexityPodcast #AI #Intelligence #Language #Cognition

He employed these as a means to advance a set of approaches to design, various forms of creative production, his pedagogy, and sometimes to approach highly complex problem sets that were more didactic in nature, relating to aspects of cybernetics and second-order cybernetics.

A series of these methods will be discussed. Additionally, Seaman’s methods explored in a project related to developing a new form of AI will be outlined. Both Glanville’s and Seaman’s approaches, influenced in part by Glanville, seek to explore “advancing advancing.”
