Actuary Applies Systems Theory: Reductionism / Irreducibility

In this video, I delve into the concept of reductionism and irreducibility, exploring how breaking down complex systems into their parts can help us understand the whole. Drawing from my experience as an Actuary, Mathematician, and Investment Researcher, I discuss how systems theory offers a robust framework for comprehending our world. I share insightful quotes from Da Vinci and Einstein to underscore the importance of simplicity. I then provide three practical applications of reductionism: identifying missing elements, using multiple mental models for better understanding, and simplifying systems by iterative deletion. Through examples and anecdotes, I aim to demonstrate how you can apply these principles to better navigate and understand your daily life.
