• Characteristics, potentials, and challenges of transdisciplinary research

  Resolving the grand challenges and wicked problems of the Anthropocene will require skillfully combining a broad range of knowledge and understandings—both scientific and non-scientific—of Earth systems and human societies. One approach to this is transdisciplinary research, which has gained considerable interest over the last few decades, resulting in an extensive body of literature about transdisciplinarity.…

• Complex Data and Models lead to Ascendency Analysis

  When making decisions, data might not be overlooked, nor the methodology to collect and interprete them. Especially in complex matteras as sustainability and circular economy, data, the collection and interpretation is key in helping our understanding and guiding our decisions. The EU JRC just published a great overview report on “Domestic Footprint of the EU…

• Bullshit Jobs – Will it change after the pandemics?

  I finished reading the great work of David Graeber: Bullshit Jobs, and especially liked the list of five types of entirely pointless jobs: I does not take a lot of intellectual power to connect all five to the pure essence of what I call “the information lens“, blocking the insight from the reality, or the…

• Have farmers had enough of experts?

  A great review on one of the most complex issues in sustainable soil management. Farmers placed most trust in other farmers to learn about new soil practices and were less trusting of traditional ‘experts’, particularly agricultural researchers from academic and government institutions, who they believed were not empathetic towards farmers’ needs. In addition to a perceived…

• Wetenschap of overtuiging?Democratie en kapitalisme – wat is er nu gaande

  Prof Koen Schoors gebruikt in zijn lezing bij de Universiteit Vlaanderen, “Kan een democratie bestaan zonder kapitalisme?“ (ook beschikbaar als podcast en in een krantenartikel) een aantal veronderstellingen die hij niet verduidelijkt. Dit is jammer, want meer uitleg had de toehoorder doen begrijpen dat de onderbouw ontbreekt. Ondertussen is in de wetenschap voldoende inzicht om…

• Complicated, Complex, Wicked – All Together to innovate…

  Innovation benefits and requires a wicked systems approach, which merges complicated and complex system thinking. Claes Anderssona and Petter Törnberga explain in a very well detailed article the details and reasoning behind, to be summarized as: Some more details I would like to highlight are: Approaches embodying a topdown rather than a bottom-up approach to…
