wow.. i had no idea this man did so much and was at the forefront of so many conceptual and technological breakthroughs! .. he dun good! .. he dun REAL good!
The discussion of Gen. MacArthur and Sperry was amazing. Forrester was a fairly young guy with tremendous impact. Best 2 hours I have spent in a while watching.
This was a great listen, his explanation of information that's trapped in our heads was definitely validated by this talk. I'm sure given enough time there was a lot more information in Mr Forrester's head that would be tremendous to hear about. Sadly he's passed, but these memories live on, information that's moved from an individual's memory to the global memory
@@josephb4235well, really the stuff that he could not tell people about is.. it's a nice thought that nothing is wasted but really there is so much knowledge and know how and intuition and wisdom and ways of thinking that get lost when we lose any person, especially one who thought so well, and so nmuch and did so much
I love how at 1:12:10 he says that he has only published one second rate physics paper "and I created the computer industry and a few other things". What a legend. This man spearheaded the creation of the American computer industry essentially from scratch, and personally wrote the contract between the airforce and IBM. This was the beginning of IBM and the computer industry as a whole. Amazing. Then he leaves the whole damn thing around 1956 because he was bored now that digital computers were now actually reliable and worked. Then he just decides to create the discipline of system dynamics as it is known today.
What does this say about the scions like Steve Jobs and the rest about their supposed genius??? This are the real brains behind our present communication technology.

That’s the beauty of this MIT project

He came to speak at my college and I got to talk to him and he was very warm and encouraging to young people.
that's Really nice to hear..i bet he was glad you were interested and wanted to talk with him too
i hope life will be Really good for you!
Always again a pure pleasure to listen to #JayForrester. There is so much to learn from him. So glad to have met him in 2007 a couple of time.
I lived in his neighborhood (Conantum), delivered his newspaper as a kid.
I love this 🙌🏼

Cool Stuff!!! i like is work very...... Club of Rom
$35/term!!!!!!! And this guy walks circles around any modern day college graduate spending >$100k for a 4-yr degree!!!
That is because college is a profit making scam now, not a place to be educated
it sounds cheap but people earned a lot less then.. but maybe it is cheaper relatively speaking
