I’m really excited about this webinar, which will take place at Thursday, 1 October 2020, 2pm AEST (which is 8AM London Time, 3AM or earlier in the USA, but I believe it will be online later as a video). It’s a part of the Australian Institute’s series on “The Economics Of A Pandemic.”
Those of you who have read Rage will know that I believe the key characteristic of all effective evolving systems, which include things like media, economies, governments, and society as a whole, is maximizing diversity and mixing, while maintaining effective resilient structures. This is the so called “edge of chaos” effect.
It’ll be really interesting to talk about this with Australian MP Clare O’Neil, who is Shadow Minister for Innovation, Technology and Future of Work. The conversation is being setup by campaigner and commentator Peter Lewis, Director of Essential Media and the Australian Centre for Responsible Technology. Peter’s planning on this has been great, and I really expect it to be a special event. I hope you are able to join!
