Unintended Consequences: How Things Often Don't Go The Way We Plan
Event has EndedAbout this Event
Things Often Don't Go The Way We Plan. Unintended consequences or "second-order effects" are common in business, politics, and every facet of our lives. Let's learn why by looking at examples, causes of these effects, and counteractions.
We'll discuss specific examples of unintended consequences in natural ecosystems, the temperance movement, seeking certainty or preserving uncertainty, scaling transformations, and more.
Those who would like to read some examples before the event are welcome to visit this site that lists second-order effects.
