Hey Leo here for actualized.org and in this episode I'm really excited to be

introducing you to systems thinking. Stop looking for who's to blame. Instead, start asking, what's the system?

A quote by Denella Meadows.

This is another one of those foundational episodes, which you will only really be able to appreciate once you complete it and you get to see how powerful systems thinking is.

Most people do not understand what this is and why it's so damn powerful.

So it's going to take us a little bit of work to get into the juicy details,

but I promise you that this will be worth your time,

especially if you are on track with your life purpose and you want to ace that.

So what is systems thinking?

It's a way of looking at the world as a series of interconnected webs, very nuanced, very detail,

webs, webs within webs,

systems, within systems, within systems, within systems, and all of these interacting with each other in

interesting and counterintuitive ways. So systems thinking is about seeing the

world from this sort of meta perspective.

Stepping out of your personal perspective, your own agenda or your

clan's little agenda and seeing the larger systems that constitute the functioning of our government, of environments, of economies, of the whole globe, and ultimately the entire Cosmos.

Living Systems and also non-living systems.

It's studying how systems work,

recognizing that there are certain laws and principles that govern systems, and

that these can be studied and learned through observation and through analysis, and also

through integrating a lot of stuff in a holistic sort of way.

And it's also about studying the traps that befall us when we try to change and manipulate systems.
