Deciding the Undecidable: Why Strategy Needs “Urteilskraft”
tl;dr: Under deep uncertainty, strategy confronts questions no method can settle. Urteilskraft is that capacity: it frames what can be calculated and judges what can be justified.

Ah, the internet’s favorite game of outage whack-a-mole 🎯 returns, starring Cloudflare's epic fail! 🤦‍♂️ Instead of getting answers, we're treated to a riveting dance of system-theoretic hand-waving and unanswered questions. 🕺💭 Bravo! 🍿

🧠 How free are our #decisions really?

According to #WolfSinger, they are limited by complex #system processes—in the #brain as well as in society and politics. Freedom means choosing within a neurobiologically predetermined range of possibilities.

Notes from AOM 2025
tl;dr: AOM 2025 brought planetary boundaries, postgrowth, and critique closer to the centre — but the structural tensions remain. Hopeful shifts, unfinished conversations.

2025 in Copenhagen marked my first in-person AOM since 201

I have just received funding for a social theoretical project 'Social system theories in the era of polycrisis - explanatory power and applicability' (2025-2028).

We're taking a new theoretical and methodological approach to the grand theories and testing them against some aspects of the so-called polycrisis.

We argue that the abandonment of system theories in the social sciences was premature.

What's your view on grand/system theories?

I've written an article some time ago about looking at the #climatechange and #globalwarming through the lenses of systems.

Let me know what do you think about it.

Is global warming a known system behavior?

broken symmetry is the physical precondition for the possibility of writing down effective (not fundamental) theories.

If this effective theory is dynamically sufficient (as: you don't gain information by going down even tho it clearly obeying those laws) that what we mean by emerging.

*it obeys physics but it's not dictated by it.*

I think I can date my understanding of the ecological crisis to the 1969 Reith Lectures by Frank Fraser Darling. He even mentioned the build up of CO2. The main learning for me was that ecosystems are indeed interconnected systems. Impacts of dams on soil fertility, public health, fisheries and nutrition, was the paradigmatic case for me.

Eine Frage an die #soziologie Bubble. Gibt es wissenschaftliche Arbeiten oder Buecher, die sich mit Anarchismus unter Einbezug von #Luhmann #SystemTheorie beschaeftigen?

A question for the #sociology bubble. Are there any scientific works or books that deal with anarchism including #Luhmann #SystemTheory?

If I can suggest one Manuel de Landa book, it would be "A Thousand Years of Nonlinear History".

It follows flows as seen by

memes
from 1k to 2k AD.

It's a trip.
