This blook is not just about me. Numerous people, some living, some not, have understood the power of conversation, appreciated the complexity of the world, and have influenced my thinking. You will find the profiles of a few of these people here.
The list below is a subset of these people, whose prime focus is on complexity or who implicitly grasp complexity as demonstrated in their writings.
Each profile says (or will say when complete) a few words about the person, how they have influenced me, and my relationship with them.
The profile also includes where available, a video and a quotation by the person that I have chosen to best convey one or more of their key ideas and a little of their personality. I have also included several links to resources such as their website, LinkedIn profile, and Twitter account where available.
Finally, I have embedded their Twitter stream and RSS feed, so you have direct access to their current thinking.
