The course “Systems Theory, Psychology & Social Media” was an incredibly insightful and thought-provoking experience. The concept of emergence was a central theme throughout the course and it was fascinating to explore how it applies to various systems, including social systems and the human mind. The understanding of emergence helped me to better understand the […]

In this lesson, we talked about two different topics: the role of the observer as well as Artificial Intelligence and its exponential-growing knowledge about us, its users. Within the first topic, we observed a video about the famous Double slit experiment, and how the role of the observer seems to change the physical reality. In […]

This lecture was about the topic of Rhizomes which basically describe plant-based Root systems. Some key features of a Rhizome are that they non-hierarchical, they create and recreate, and also there is no beginning and no ending within a fully developed root system. As stated before, root systems originate (like basically everything) form nature. One […]

The topic of this lesson was about one of the factors which will probably influence the future of humanity more than anything else (except climate crisis) – Artificial Intelligence. The Era of AI was stated as an Era of Acceleration. The key question here is: will this postmodern path upon which we are currently moving […]

In this lesson we talked about Complexity. Thinking about that, one ends up again in the world of Nature and its webs of Ecosystems, which are the epitome of Complexity. At the same time, there is a huge sensitive dependence within this web. So to summarize, a system lives from the complex independence of its […]

In this week’s lecture, we have discussed about Emergence in the era of Anthropocene – the era in which planet Earth is domesticated, dominated & shaped by the human beings. For that, let’s just quickly summarize again when this Anthropocene exactly starts: some have argued it started with the agricultural revolution (which took place in […]

Is there a threshold before a system collapses? How to achieve Self-Organization & Emergence on levels me as a human individual level? These were basically the main questions we dealt with in this lecture. As the topic became more specific, we focused on the field of reductionism. Key questions here where: How is the level […]

Honestly, I was disappointed by the second lesson. Like my fellow classmate summarized as we were walking out of the university: “This felt more like a team-building session instead a lecture of knowledge”. I agree. Sure, nothing wrong about getting to know each other and each other’s backgrounds, but if it fills up the whole […]

Systems Theory, Psychology & Social Media. Three highly relevant Topics. Different, but related. Constructs, but more than real. Always present, but hard to catch. Constantly evolving. Some knowledge, still many questions. Three rabbit wholes. I am more than curious what everything is waiting in these rabbit wholes. Will this course will bring me some new […]
