Cybernetics, History & Origins 1994

[@JimArdal]

Thank you for uploading these videos, this knowledge could otherwise have been lost. Trust me when I say these resources are being used by a new generation of cyberneticists. Humanity would be poorer without Mr. Beer's contributions.

Javier - today is the 23rd of August 2012. The only time I spent with you was a decade ago on this date, in Toronto. I am sure he knew we were there. Thank you for posting this. I remember it being done as I nominated two of the students to attend but I had never seen it before today. I have enjoyed watching on this poignant anniversary. Harry.

[@JavierLivasCantu]

It is difficult to express how much I have missed Stafford. The tenth anniversary of his death has arrived with and we must all feel grateful for his contributions to enriching our lives in such a decisive manner. Thanks, Harry. Regards.

FUCK YOU

[@advancedspacesocialism1931]

lamest flame ever discojoe. You've embarrassed yourself. Shut down your computer and pour gravy all over it. That would possibly be the most positive contribution you can make to your species.

[@KamranQeis]

Thank you so much for your service to all cyberneticians.

Thank you so much for this post I'm only about 1/3 of the way through and I noticed a relative on one of the comments made in 2012., Hairy Beer.

[@richardleeskinneriii9640]

Absolutely fascinating, I just recently bought his book, Management and Cybernetics. I think it will be one hell of a read

[@JavierLivasCantu]

I suggest you buy HEART OF ENTERPRISE. Much more knowledge.

[@richardleeskinneriii9640]

@@JavierLivasCantu will do! Thanks. I've been doing some research into applying the VSM to an intentional community. Beer's lectures are amazing. I was born way too late lol

Hi Javier, thanks for the upload this is facinating and your uploads are incredibly helpful to me. Do you have any of the other episodes from this series? Do you know if the rest of the talks were filmed and where I might be able to access them? Thanks James

[@pr4442]

Excellent share - it gave me a fizzle.

[@JavierLivasCantu]

Thank you, Paul. Stafford's ideas and commitment to cybernetics is beginning to change the way of thinking of many.

[@kamilziemian995]

Can I buy this videos somewhere? I don't want to steal Beer's materials.

[@AbelGarza01]

Thanks for share this video :)

[@jordymaharaj]

the concept of the frissle astounds me

[@HigherSofia]

This is profoundly relevant.

[@JavierLivasCantu]

Surely. Cybernetics has evolved into a way of acquiring knowledge to be able to tame very complex systems.

Stafford's daughter? YES.

[@shaahkars]

Guys where can I get all the videos ?

[@JavierLivasCantu]

I have most of what is available.

[@shaahkars]

+Javier Livas Cantu , I would be highly obliged if you could also share those videos.

This guy reminds me of Alan Watts.

[@skyjuiceification]

They are nothing alike..except for the English accent and being philosophers.

[@itsahashtaglife6304]

@@skyjuiceification hard disagree. I am currently studying Stafford Beer, Marshall McLuhan and Alan Watts in depth and there are structural underpinnings that run through all their works that have familiarities. Transdisciplinary, wholistic thinkers that drew on their broad and various base of knowledge to construct vast overarching views of how systems operate.

Vanilla Beer? No way! A name like that and a husband who is like Alan Watts? I am way envious.

+Sevilla King Oh, it's his daughter. Still.

[@ObeySilence]

I dont get the joke in the beginning

[@JavierLivasCantu]

The doctoral student would rather no hear the conference on what is cybernetics all over again, perhaps because it was very confusing or very long, or both. We wouldn't want to be bored to death?

[@ObeySilence]

Ahhhhhhh okay. Thank you :)

[@serioussearch9383]

Actually, the doctoral student wants to go second so he can finally learn what cybernetics is.
