Source: CombiningA solution is a linear endpoint to a problem defined in linear causality.
Complex problems do not operate within this linearity. Solutions are not what we are looking for.
Solutionism is not appropriate in the complexity/systems world …
If you look for solutions, you won’t find them because the problem identified as needing to be solved is a consequence of multiple contextual interactions.
There is no hack, no five bullet points, no branded systemic graph that maps the solutions.
The thinking that has produced an understanding of our world as a mechanistic, separated, or siloed system also defines our current global crises as such.
Food systems, sexism, climate change, addiction, racism, economic inequality, and so on are all consequences of several hundred years of exploitation.
