This was an interesting video. I've been in science for many years and what they said makes sense. It seems like we've spent the last 300 years studying the puzzle pieces and now we're nearly capable of putting them together, especially if we have some kind of AI assisting.
But here's where I struggle with systems thinking, I can only mentally occupy one level of a system at a time.
Take biology for example. I could explain how chemical reactions work, then how proteins/enzymes work, then how cells work, then how an organ works, then how an organism works, and then how an ecosystem works.
What I can't really do is explain an ecosystem with chemistry in a meaningful way. They're on different levels. I think the same is true of psychology, sociology, and anthropology, I think those were mentioned in the video.
So can systems thinking bridge between those levels? Is it supposed to?
