The complexity of failure

Following up on the last post, there is also a complexity of failure. Around 6:00 in that video he notes how the establishment professional class has an obsession with complexity. It's a complexity that is totally divorced from the realities of a concrete economy. And a complexity that also fails to deliver to anyone other than the professional class.

Which reminds me of the sort of complexity championed by the so-called developmental expert class. They too use abstract metaphysical premises in defining complexity. Whereas the other professional complexity experts, typically undermined but the establishment professionals, comes more from an embodied base, both physical and socio-culturally, and hence have a more 'realistic' and pragmatic platform for their expertise that applies to and supports our everyday lives.
