A brilliant woman with so much wisdom. I wrote a dissertation on how to use systems thinking to problem solve in 2020. This is timeless knowledge.

as relevant as ever. cannot go a single day without thinking and applying systems thinking. influenced my views on sustainability greatly, recognizing that we must address racial capitalism if we are to address environmental issues. nothing operates outside of each other. things as mundane as food relates back to politics and the economy. thank you dana for your wisdom

Great Donella Meadows presentation on whole systems theory (the science of understanding complexity instead of reductionism). Limits to growth is explained in different ways using different techniques incl. systems modeling. Dr. Meadows is referring to Dr Karl-Henrik Robert and the sustainability principles several times. The principles have since been updated especially the 4th (Social) principle.

@Daniel Natal exactly. See also my MASTERPLAN : YES WE CAN 2016 - 2116 🌏 YES WE CAN 2016 - 2116 is an encouragement for mankind to save a sustainable biosphere on earth by a free decision for OneChildPolicy. To reduce worldpopulation from 7.4 Billion in 2016 to the tolerable size of TWO Billion (2x10^9) according to ecological research e. g. Donella and Dennis Meadows ('Beyond the Limits'), Stanford- University of California (Biologist Paul R. Ehrlich, 'The Population Bomb') and the BertTheAce Research-Institute for Ecology (Foundation, 'World Biosphere') we need FOUR Generations (100 years) of OneChildPolicy worldwide on a free decision. If we succeed with worldwide OCP for the coming 100 years, mankind has a good chance to reach a balance between consumption of natural resources, pollution and recovery of a sustainable biosphere for thousands of generations.......and isn't the care for our biosphere on earth a better option for mankind, than to try to escape to Mars, who did already loose his biosphere ? HISTORY will CONFIRM BertTheAce and his MASTERPLAN 'YES WE CAN 2016 - 2116' Link: kzfaq.info/get/bejne/n5polcVjl8y0lH0.html

Her point at 21:50 is so good. Talking about the economy outside of the environment is like talking about an organ trying to function outside of the body. It doesn’t. It ceases to work. Unfortunately, the US is getting ready to experience exactly what this means. Godspeed to anyone listening to her wisdom in 2022

It should be a requirement that ALL postings must readily evidentiate the replete, specific date, that the original information was presented & or posted. This just overtly evidentiates the utter lackings of common sense regulations, let alone ethical standards ! 😮

The introductory slide indicates the lecture was given on Thursday, March 14. March 14th fell on a Thursday in 1996, 1991, 1985, etc. The series was affiliated as a "Journey to Detroit" / Pres. Council for a Sustainable America / Town Hall Meeting in Detroit which took place in 1999. (I couldn't find any reference to it taking place on another year.) So, I would venture, the lecture took place in 1996?

I don’t see how an ecologist, using traditional reductionist methods, would not come to the same conclusions and observations. Does this mean that all ecologists are system analysts? Is this something that was always there but now has I catchy name tag?

When considering the behaviour of Presidents within the system, there are exceptions occasionally. Indeed. Had she lived she would have been interested to see how Trump is dismantling the system around him.
