  •   “Side effects” are not a feature of reality, but a sign that the boundaries of our mental models are too narrow, our time horizons too short.”
  • But, these simple models are of limited value when dealing with dynamic, complex systems, such as you find in areas from health care to financial markets to climate change.  We make the wrong decisions and get in trouble when there is a large gap between the complexity of the real problems we are trying to address and our simple mental picture of the problem.  “. . .

  • people mistakenly assume that 1) any social network that can be boiled down to a graph can be compared and 2) any theory of social networks is transitive to any graph representing connections between people. Such mistaken views result in broad misinterpretations of social networks and social network sites.
  • three distinct ways of modeling a social network. These are not the only ways of modeling a social network, but they are three common ways that are often collapsed in public discourse.
