We hope that you enjoy this incredible discussion of Complex systems and how they work in our day to day lives and how Yaneer works in the field to answer the big questions our world faces on a day to day basis, or more accurately maybe is to say he works on creating the 'questions' that first need to be asked before they can be answered. Whether your running a major business, creating a city or just a small home garden you are most definitely working in complex systems theory! Listen hard and listen well because if you do you will certainly gain some knowledge today on how your world works and how you and I and everyone else fit into this craziness! The major goal of Pull up a pew podcast “For all you touch and all you see” is to bring both celebrities and our very long list of professionals in each of these amazing fields to mix and match personalities To achieve a kind of meeting of the minds between researcher, listener and the celebrity guest. JUST SOME OF THE AREAS OF FOCUS: Alternative News Consciousness studies NDE Research Noetics Theoretical physics Locations of high strangeness/example: e -Ceti ranch, Bigelow Ranch Innocence Project support Whistleblowers (many) Simulation Theory and related subjects AI and the singularity Fractals and how they influence us Liberty and freedom of speech Constitution and erosion of rights Much much more! A constant guest appearance will be Mr. Anthony Peake, who has written nine books on many subjects such as consciousness studies, NDE’s and the concept of the “Daemon” (See Bandersnatch on Netflix for his concepts) Mr. Peake may be joining us as soon as he’s done completing his tenth book in May (approx) We feel strongly that his ideas and concepts have not been seen or enjoyed by near enough people. He will blow you away with his mind-numbing (in a good way) concepts and theories. OUR GUEST TODAY: Prof. Yaneer Bar-Yam holds an SB and PhD in physics from MIT. Since the late 1980s he has contributed to founding the field of complex systems science, introducing fundamental mathematical rigor, real-world application, and educational programs for new concepts and insights of this field. His recent work quantitatively analyzes the origins and impacts of market crashes, social unrest, ethnic violence, military conflict and pandemics, the structure and dynamics of social networks, as well as the bases of creativity, panic, evolution and altruism. He has advised the Chairman’s Action Group at the Pentagon about global social unrest and the crises in Egypt and Syria, the National Security Council and the National Counter Terrorism Council on global strategy, the Chief of Naval Operations Strategic Studies Group about military force transformation, the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention about delivery of prevention services and control of hospital infections, Chairman of the House Financial Services Committee, Congressman Barney Frank, about market regulation and the financial crisis, and other government organizations, NGOs, and corporations on using principles and insights from complex systems science. He has authored more than 200 research papers in professional journals and has 3 patents. His work on the causes of the global food crisis was cited among the top 10 scientific discoveries of 2011 by Wired magazine. In addition to having taught more than 2,000 graduate students, professionals and executives, he has been a Visiting Scholar at the Department of Molecular and Cellular Biology at Harvard and the Federal Reserve Bank of Boston.
