Thanks for sharing this.

I use books as an external stimulus. There is nothing I can control
when my brain interactive with books. Notes are pieces of evidence of
such interactions. And I only have very limited control over it as
well.

The book by Nassim Nicholas is on my next reading list.

Complex systems breed simple behavior; simple systems breed complex behavior

and that can't be more accurate.
