Not to stir the philosophical pot too much, but I spent a delightful
day with David Snowden this past week. He started his discussion with
a quote from Seneca:
“The greatest loss of time is delay & expectation, which depend upon
the future. We let go the present, which we have in our power, and
look forward to that which depends upon chance, and so relinquish a
certainty for an uncertainty.”
Could Seneca have been the original Complexity Theory proponent?
