I felt a renewed insight and motivation to continue talking to others about systems topics when I read the email by Prof. Dr. Niall Palfreyman. Thank you.

The profound words that Prof. Dr. Niall Palfreyman wrote, I edited a little and quoted directly (without intent to offend or plagiarize).


• Learning about systems thinking and dynamic modeling makes available to us a choice of interventions in a system that otherwise would not be available.

• System thinking and dynamic modeling are powerful extensions to our ways of thinking about everyday processes that offer us new choices for intervention that the world desperately needs in order to change.

• This leads to a person being open to the possibility of seeing their neighbor and their environment not as a 'thing' but as a process that is always moving and always changing, and as a result one can always make a fresh start at any moment of any day.

Thank you,
Richard
