Экономический обозреватель Тим Харфорд изучает сложные системы и находит общее между примерами успешных систем: все они созданы путем проб и ошибок. В своем блестящем выступлении на TEDGlobal 2011 он призывает воспользоваться случайностью и начать делать хорошие ошибки.

Тим Харфорд: Попытка, ошибка и комплекс Бога

Progress in complex systems comes not from having all the answers, but from persistent experimentation and learning from mistakes. In a WWII prison camp, a doctor used a simple trial to save lives with marmite, illustrating the power of testing over conviction. The temptation to believe in perfect solutions, called the God complex, blinds people in medicine, business, and politics. True breakthroughs arise from humility, constant adaptation, and the courage to face uncomfortable uncertainty.
