What a note!
‘The world is a web of interwoven threads, each pulling on the others, each driving the whole. To seize upon one thread and declare it the whole truth is to embrace a comforting illusion. Complexity defies reduction, and reality resists such narrow confines. Seek out the many forces at play, the tangled roots beneath the surface, for it is in the interplay of causes that the true shape of the world emerges.’

Some example of linear thinking ...
- Cholesterol causes heart disease ..
- Smoking causes mouth cancer ..
- Milk leads to bloating ..
- Weapons to mass shootings ..
- fat is all bad - protein is all good
While there are sure some connections .. but then the connections are to so many more factors ..
Don't trust , verify !
To explore a situation thoroughly and gain valuable insights, we might ask:
-What are the key factors influencing this situation, and how do they interact with each other?
We might also ask
- cui bono
- who doesn’t benefit
From these we may reasonably derive likely sources of support and opposition.
