    The Logic of Failure – Why Complex Problems Defeat Simple Solutions

    In this episode, Tony explores The Logic of Failure by Dietrich Dörner, revealing why even smart, well-intentioned people often fail when managing complex systems. Through a simulation of building a self-sustaining town, participants make decisions that lead to economic collapse, water shortages, and environmental degradation. He discusses how overconfidence, simplistic thinking, and failure to anticipate long-term consequences cause these catastrophic results. Drawing parallels to real-world disasters like Chernobyl and Three Mile Island, he uncovers the key lessons on embracing complexity, using feedback, and avoiding quick fixes.
