Len Fisher tackles accusations that some scientific papers and some science books contain misinformation. How well are they checked? Are academics too busy or too few to monitor the work of others?
Len Fisher has created a computer program to analyse strange beliefs in order to test them and find out where they come from.
Len Fisher argues that compassion is a high value yet undervalued aspect of human interaction. It can foster trust and cooperation and lead us to solutions benefiting society.

Thuở bé, chúng ta vẫn đinh ninh rằng Kéo, búa, bao là trò chơi đơn thuần dựa vào may mắn, và dù thông minh đến đâu, ta cũng không dám tuyên bố mình là kẻ luôn chiến thắng. Thế nhưng, ít ai biết đây chính là phiên bản tối giản nhất của lý thuyết trò chơi trong cuộc sống thường ngày. Theo đó, quyết định và chiến lược của mỗi người chơi đều ảnh hưởng đến chiến lược của những người còn lại.Tiến sĩ vật lý Len Fisher mô tả nhiều khái niệm chính của lý thuyết trò chơi và các ứng dụng điển hình. Ông tập trung vào các ứng dụng trong tương tác xã hội và các chiến lược liên quan để thúc đẩy hợp tác, tiến đến kết quả đôi bên cùng có lợi, hoặc ít nhất là tránh xung đột và tình huống thiệt hại cho cả hai bên.--Về Fonos:Fonos là Ứng dụng âm thanh số - Với hơn 3.000+ nội dung gồm Sách nói có bản quyền, Ebook, Tóm tắt sách, Thiền định, Truyện ngủ, Nhạc chủ đề, Truyện thiếu nhi.

How do complex systems work? Len Fisher is an individual who spent his life on the interface of science, politics and society. He talked about the problems the world is facing are so big that sudden changes are unpredictable. We talked about: - the impact of the difference between the pursuit of understanding vs. the pursuit of power - how a new kind of insurance could be the answer to the wicked problems we are facing - what Len believes could be the first steps towards a more resilient world

In this episode, Angie talks with Biophysical Scientist and author of Crashes, Crises, and Calamities, Dr. Len Fisher. Fisher gives many in-depth examples for how sudden change, or critical transitions, can happen within complex adaptive systems. He unpacks how interconnectedness, unintended consequences, runaway effects, and emergence all influence systemic collapse. Fisher also shares what is needed to effectively govern of complex systems.

How is it that philosopher Jeremy Bentham attends senate meetings at University College London, almost two centuries after his demise?
Len Fisher says we're all inclined to look for patterns in events, and there are two reasons why we see patterns even when they aren't there: one is evolutionary, the other is mathematical.
Say you wanted to bake bread in a microwave – I can’t think why, but say you did – you could go online and search the internets for a recipe. And you would come up with a few. Just reading them over, they didn’t seem all that appetising. One, for example, warned that you had to serve the bread toasted. What’s the point of that? Anyway, that didn’t deter Ken Albala, a professor at the University of the Pacific in Stockton, California, but rather than search the internet, he turned to ancient Egypt for inspiration. In thinking about ways in which the material culture of food might change in the future, for the Oxford Symposium on Food and Cookery, he came up with not only the plate that keeps crispy things crunchy, but also a way to bake bread in a microwave. Not great bread, but acceptable bread. Why? Well, partly because it is hot where Ken lives, and he doesn’t like putting the oven on just to bake bread. And partly because he foresees a future in which space is at a premium, cooking, maybe, is deskilled, and ovens, where they exist, are used for storing stuff, not baking. Turns out, though, that there’s method to Ken’s madness. I’d always thought that microwaves heat water molecules and that’s that. Apparently not, as I learned from Len Fisher at Bristol University. Apparently some ceramics absorb microwaves and others don’t, and if you have a ceramic that absorbs microwaves, watch out. It can get very hot. Hot enough to turn bread dough to toast in less than 7 minutes. Len admitted that he didn’t fully understand the physics of different ceramics in the microwave, which means there’s no chance for me and you. But he did think he’d invented something along the lines of Ken’s bread mould. Turns out someone had already patented it, although as far as I can tell the patent has lapsed and nobody ever did anything with it. Or did they? If you’re aware of a container designed to bake bread in the microwave, please leave a comment. Notes Ken Albala blogs and has an interesting Facebook page. Len Fisher also has a website, and it is well worth exploring. Intro music by Dan-O at DanoSongs.com.
Complex systems dominate the natural world and can often seem to have a mind of their own. But, what are the rules governing complex systems? On this program, Len Fisher discussed the Perfect Swarm.
Game theory is the field of study popularized by the depiction of John Nash in a Beautiful Mind. But, few may realize the relevance of game theory in everyday life. On this program, Dr. Len Fisher discussed the application of game theory to everyday situations.
