EP17 – Bonnitta Roy on Process Thinking and Complexity

Bonnitta Roy, author of Our Future at Work and editor at Integral Review, talks with Jim Rutt about process thinking, complexity, evolution, and Game B. The discussion begins with a description of Roy's "insight practice," process thinking, complexity science, reification, and model building. It continues with a discussion of consciousness, causality, complexity, chaos and emergence. That is followed by a discussion of the temporal vs. the spatial, ending in a Buddhist boat. The evolution of the universe is the next topic, including panspermea and the big bang. Then there's a standoff on language that ends in an agreement on the benefits of good poop. Finally, as the world goes to poop, Bonnitta and Jim take up Plan B and the creation of a recomposable life form in an optimally decentralized array.
