Bradd Libby, Responsible for our complex systems analysis and modelling at Rethink X – The Pattern of Progress: How Radically Cheaper, Easier, Faster, Better Technologies and Ideas Rapidly Change the World

The rapid and transformative adoption of new technologies, new ideas, new behaviors, and new business models has followed a repeatable pattern for at least hundreds of years, maybe tens of thousands or millions. It might be a general feature of collective decision-making in many sentient creatures, not just us Homo sapiens. And it is likely to be a key dynamic, if not the key dynamic, that governs whether in the next decades we will produce unparalleled progress and shared prosperity, solving some of our greatest environmental and social challenges if we harness its power well, or whether we will slide into an extended period of stagnation and decline if we do not.

Bradd Libby is responsible for complex systems analysis and modelling at RethinkX, a not-for-profit organization devoted to studying technology-driven disruptions and their consequences. Prior to RethinkX, he spent several years designing and building scientific equipment for use in the Arctic and studying the effects of climate change on industry, agriculture, and cities.

He has been professionally involved in using computer simulation, including system dynamics and Monte Carlo simulation, to understand complex systems for more than two decades. Bradd has a PhD in Chemical Engineering from the University of Massachusetts at Amherst.
