The
Butterfly Effect: Everything You Need to Know
About This Powerful Mental Model by
FS (19min)
We like to think we can predict the future and
exercise a degree of control over powerful systems
such as the weather and the economy. Yet the

around us are chaotic and entropic, prone to sudden
change. For some kinds of systems, we can try to
create favorable starting conditions and be mindful
of the kinds of catalysts that might act on those
conditions – but that’s as far as our power
extends.
