Now that we’ve discussed many of the core patterns at the intersection of science, complexity and philosophy, I want to showcase how these patterns play out across countless areas in life. To do this, I’ll be taking NonTrivial on a slightly different path where I plan on discussing a new book each week. It won’t be a review of the book as much as showcasing how deep and familiar patterns are occurring throughout its narrative.This is obviously not what the authors of these books are trying to convey but the patterns are there nonetheless, because of their universality. It is these patterns that hold the key to whatever set of ultimate truths govern our world. And it is these patterns that have immense utility in one’s life and brings us a deeper understanding to how the world works.The best way to understand something is not to look at it directly, but to notice the parts of it that remain unchanged while everything else around it moves.And so we’ll be taking a tour of books of great variety, to notice what remains unchanged despite inconstant narratives.The books I choose will be mostly nonfiction, but I’ll throw a few fiction titles in as well. Of course if there’s a book you’d like me to cover, mention those on Twitter, and I’ll discuss which fundamental patterns it contains.I’m looking forward to a brand new season of NonTrivial. As always, thanks for listening, and stay tuned.Support the showBecome a premium member to gain access to premium content, including the Techniques and Mindsets Videos, visual concept summaries of each episode, community forum, episode summary notes, episode transcripts, q&a/ama sessions, episode search, watch history, watch progress and support.Join Now at nontrivialpodcast.com or patreon.com/8431143/join
