We start with a talk by SFI President David Krakauer:
"Would anyone care to guess why we're so GOOD at building transistors and so CRAP at designing drugs?"
"This thing [points to transistor] lives in a centralized system. This thing [points to cancer drug] lives in US."

"I'm going to pick on economics, because we like to do that at SFI. 'Ooh, look at that cover! So techy. Global, heat maps...' But here's 'Networks' [in the textbook]. THAT'S IT. Here's '#ComplexityEconomics.' NOTHING."
