COVID-19 and Complex Time in Biology and Economics with David Krakauer

Explore the intricate relationship between COVID-19 and complex time in biology and economics in this 42-minute talk by David Krakauer from the Santa Fe Institute's Transmission Series. Delve into the crucial role of timing in human life through the lens of complex systems science, examining how synchrony or misalignment across scales leads to significant consequences. Discover insights on interspecies epidemics, economic impacts of return-to-work timing, early warning signs of social crises, and the nested structure of our analogies for discussing these complex times. Learn how civilization's adaptation to the pandemic hinges on our ability to think and act across multiple timescales simultaneously, drawing connections between evolutionary theory, economics, epistemology, and epidemiology to reveal a deeper order previously hidden in plain sight.
