Many social scientists and pundits have noted – just in the last twelve months – how NLDS concepts such as “catastrophes,” “tipping,” “run-away” systems, and escalation, seem chillingly apropos. This year's keynote speakers are particularly attuned to the dynamics of ways we can engage with the world, human and otherwise, human<span class="Apple-converted-space"> </span><i>praxis</i><span class="Apple-converted-space"> </span>in its different forms.
