EMERGENCE IS NOT NECESSARILY A FORCE FOR GOOD Keep in mind what complex adaptive systems do. Footpaths and social networks can emerge, so can terror organizations such as the Canadian jihadist cell with no known ties to Osama's organization. Grant at Anthropology and Economics characterizes such emergence as "scary" then considers the usefulness of social science in unearthing such organizations. John at EclectEcon reflects on this cell emerging in Canada, despite Ottawa's pietistic multiculturalism and distance from the Iraqi operations.
