We Don't Need More Athletes Or Models -- We Do Need People Who Understand Complexity

Have you seen the Verizon ad? The one that starts with LeBron James walking toward the camera and then saying "We don't need more LeBrons"? He's followed in quick succession by other celebrities, including model Adriana Lima, quarterback Drew Brees and soccer star David Villa, all saying we don't need more of their kind. The ad wraps up by saying what we do need is more people in science and technology to fill the 4 million jobs available. Fair enough. The world runs on science and technology. But there's an unintended consequence that comes with that. Technology is making the world a more complex place. And what we really need is more people who understand what complexity means.
