Michael Crichton at the Smithsonian

norbu · 2009-01-11T09:58:38Z

An thought provoking talk:Michael Crichton examines the gross exaggeration of the effects of Chernobyl and questions apocalyptic hysteria. He then looks at the specific example of the mismanagement of Yellowstone and discusses problems we have in implementing effective interventions in complex systems. In his final words, in answer to the last question put to him from the floor, he says we should deal with real problems that are happening now: poverty and social inequity across the world. Norbu
