summary
Look at the world with a systemic lens.
Argumentation
Systems often display counter-intuitive behaviors and need to be studied from a new point of view.
Over the past 30 years, a new systemic conception of life has emerged at the forefront of science, New emphasis has been given to complexity, networks, and patterns of organization leading to a novel kind of "systemic thinking" (Capra and Luisi 2014). Buffers, stocks, flows, feedback loops reinforcing or buffering actions: exploring and
defining new systems concepts, Donella Meadows (2008) and others have helped us understand better the way systems function and given us a map of leverage points to act upon them.
