Systems Thinking


Systems Theory
Introduction to Systems Thinking — an approach to understanding the behavior of complex systems over time. It deals with internal feedback loops and time delays that affect the behavior of the entire system. What makes using system dynamics different from other approaches to studying complex systems is the use of feedback loops, stocks and flows. These elements help describe how even seemingly simple systems display baffling nonlinearity.
System Dynamics Modeling — Using system dynamics modeling of a "bathtub dynamic," here's how to show people the quantitative impact of CO2 on climate change and how the most common proposals for dealing with the problem will affect the rate at which CO2 will build up in the atmosphere.

The Simple Feeling of Being — The Sentient Body is an invitation to step deeply into our experience of being, to inhabit our personal landscape of the body and, through the wisdom of these deep encounters, weave ourselves into the greater landscape of the Earth. We invite you to explore the world of sensation and subtle experiences; we invite you to step into the Sentient Body and from there explore and participate with the underlying essence level of being.

Health


Vitamins and Minerals -- What foods have the most of each?
Vitamins that can cause peripheral neuropathy: B6 by overdose, B12 by malabsorption (due to the use of proton pump inhibitors like Prilosec) -- Call me for first-hand testimony from a poster child who is very health conscious but was stricken nonetheless by nerve degeneration that can greatly undermine your quality of life. I encourage you to question your assumptions about how benign "normal" doses of B6 are or how unlikely it is for you to suffer from B12 deficiency, even if you're a meat eater.

PolitiFact has, once again, conducted an extensive review of the scientific research and questions around climate change, including how much is man made and the degree of consensus among scientists. That case has long been closed, despite the political echo chamber on the right. This is worth taking 5 minutes to read no matter what your existing beliefs are about the science around climate change.
