The news cycle moves fast, but the underlying patterns stay the same. These articles apply far-from-equilibrium thinking to current events—from political upheavals to technological disruptions to social movements. When you understand the thermodynamics of complex systems, today's headlines start making a lot more sense.
Most commentary on current events focuses on personalities, parties, and short-term outcomes. We take a different approach. By examining events through the lens of entropy, adaptation, and self-organization, we can see patterns that others miss. Why do some movements succeed while others fail? Why do institutions resist change until they collapse? Why does progress often come from the margins rather than the center?
These articles connect breaking news to deeper principles. We explore how social media algorithms create filter bubbles, why political polarization follows predictable thermodynamic patterns, and how economic systems behave like living organisms responding to stress. The goal isn't to predict the future—it's to understand the forces shaping it.
If you're tired of hot takes and tribal thinking, these articles offer a different way to engage with the world. Not left or right, but forward—toward a deeper understanding of the complex systems we're all part of.
