Nailing It Down: Systems Theory Basics | Varn Vlog
Notes
- [[efficiency]] is work / energy input
- [[systems]] are brittle when they take on too much stress and break
- brittleness is related to cascade failure
- [[centralization]] doesn’t lead to efficiency necessarily. centralization requires more energy input
- [[Deleuze]] and Guattari believed that capitalism was [[rhizomatic]] (like grass, nodes in the system were expendable because the whole system was so diffuse)
- [[Deleuze]] did not account for agency in the system
- we don’t evolve for efficiency, we evolve for survival
- debates over centralization have to take into account this energy efficiency
