Geoffrey West - The Universal Laws of Growth, Innovation, and Sustainability | Salesforce

Geoffrey West, theoretical physicist and former President and Distinguished Professor of the Santa Fe Institute, is a pioneer in the field of complexity science, the science of emergent systems and networks. But what makes West's discoveries so beautiful is that he has found an underlying simplicity that unites the seemingly complex and diverse phenomena of living systems, including our bodies, our cities, and our businesses. In this Dreamtalk, West will share the research and findings that led to his new book Scale: The Universal Laws of Growth, Innovation, Sustainability and the Pace of Life in Organisms, Cities, Economies, and Companies.
Marc Benioff had this to say about West's book: "Geoffrey West's Scale is filled with brilliant insights. He illuminates the laws of nature underlying everything from tiny organisms and humans to cities and companies, and provides a quantitative framework for decoding the deep complexity of our interconnected world. If you want to know why companies fail, how cities persist and what is needed to sustain our civilization in this era of rapid innovation, read this amazing book." #Salesforce #Innovation #Sustainability

EVERY conscious being is ONE conscious being existing in PARALLEL and experiencing themselves as SEPARATE AND DISTINCT lifeforms!!
This is why the history of ALL things can be found in ANY one thing inanimate/animate!
In other words we TRULY are ALLLLL connected🌝

[@nlssvdr7107]

no, there is no scientific evidence of that hypothesis

[@ashok_kumar_das]

Excellent fabrication and amazing output

Hello Dr West! I remember meeting you and being inspired by your talk at the Fairbanks Museum years ago... I hope you are well.

BITCOIN is also a power law, price=A*days^5.8, where days is days from the Genesis Block. It is amazing.

[@AnovaNina]

Amazing just too short!

What about brain size to metabolic rate ?

[@michaels4255]

"Is the singularity near?"
Kurzweil: "Yes."
West: "Yes."
"So we are in agreement?"
"Absolutely not."

[@giovannisantostasi9615]

I think the disagreement is that West thinks it will lead to a collapse while Kurzweil thinks it will lead to digital heaven.
