Our world is beautifully complex, but it doesn't necessarily have to be as complicated as it is today. Complex vs. Complicated Being complex and complicated are fundamentally different. The former is always unpredictable, dynamic, interdependent, and self-organizing by nature. Numerous factors influence one another, and the output for a given input is probabilistic, if not completely random. There is no fixed rule of saying, "If you do this, that always happens." Climate change, global politics, the economy, and the development of social creatures like human beings are all complex. Nothing guarantees any single consequence, and the phenomena can only be understood by the most reasonable likelihoods derived from what we already know. Yet, it is practically impossible to know everything due to the astronomical invisible factors. (Supercomputers and quantum algorithms might increase the odds by handling more data efficiently, though.) The complicated things, on the other hand, show…
