“In a complex system, we can’t go in to take a look at what’s happening in the belly of the beast. We need to rely on indirect indicators to assess most situations.”

“It turns out that everyday meltdowns—failed projects, bad hiring decisions, and even disastrous dinner parties—have a lot in common with oil spills and mountaineering accidents.”
Chris Clearfield, Meltdown: What Plane Crashes, Oil Spills, and Dumb Business Decisions Can Teach Us About How to Succeed at Work and at Home

“we simply can’t understand enough about complex systems to predict all the possible consequences of even a small failure.”
