Le bisous qui guérit tout et le scotch magique Il était une fois l’histoire d’une petit fille prénommée Iris. Quand elle avait autour de 3 ou 4 ans, le monde était encore merveilleux pour elle. Elle m’a vu soigner ses petits bobos avec des bisous magiques de papa qui guérissent tout. Et elle m’a vu également réparer rapidement des petits jouets avec un bout de scotch pour qu’elle puisse repartir jouer immédiatement avec son jouet.

Looking at complexity theory as described by David Snowden, we have various decision-making contexts called domains. These domains describe different ways of how we solve given problems. They are Simple (Clear), Complicated, Complex, and Chaos. With simple problems, we have all the facts; we work with the known knowns. Given the right set of instructions, anyone can solve the problem.

Deeply rooted in Greek thought, these sins were not seen as fleeting transgressions. Instead, they were formidable obstacles, barriers between individuals and a virtuous, fulfilling life. These sins promised personal suffering, societal decay, and eventual destruction if left unchecked.
