The cost of complexity is inherently wicked. We could discuss its impacts on HR, on R&D, on supply chain, on education, on manufacturing or project management. However, let's stick to the core: the vast majority of investment-related decision making systems are still stuck in a finite-dimensional reality barely evolved from a spartan economic rationalism analytical milieu derivative of double entry book-keeping functionally based upon entrenched inefficiency and a lack of timeliness. Regulators, insurance, and other aspects of society with ill-deserved critical veto capability do not just support or require but effectively celebrate this uncompromising backwardness, whereas it should actually be banished. We desperately need holistic decision-making taking in to account factors lying outside of this purview. Academics, entrepreneurs, frustrated youth, competent industrial craftspeople and environmentalists are unlikely allies at the coal face.
