  18. adamhaider said: Cooperation is not formed using skills it is an organic outcome that manifests and is cultivated when all nodes (like neurons) understand each other. Society is only complex because it’s fragmented with layers of human caused problems.

  • Complex organisation arises from webs of interaction among causal factors | So, it turns out that DNA is, in fact, a great metaphor for business culture, but only after you realize that DNA is not a few hundred off-on switches, but instead a universe of unknowable complexities, that we can interact with, and understand at some abstract cartoonish level, but not control, and never fully comprehend.
