Thoughts

Unfortunately I missed our first class meeting due to another class, but from reading the comments already posted here, I've gained a little understanding of what might have been discussed.

As far as the reading is concerned, it made me interested in how our various systems of complexity vary depending upon the discipline at hand.  It gives us a way to look at ourselves differently and how we operate and question ourselves and perhaps see different conclusions that weren't apparent before.  I don't think as humans, that we can possibly see every conclusion from every action because perhaps we focus too much on details that could/could not have great depth.  Perhaps the reason why wars are created, etc. are so broad for us to understand and perhaps too general or widespread to have us find a solid good conclusion to why humans do such things.  The actions of a human sometimes can be completely unconscious and therefore how can we pull meaning from them?
