Guerin -

I'll see your Strogatz and raise you a Smolin!

This talk by Lee Smolin while at TED addresses obliquely a lot of the talk about science, politics and religion (or at least world view).

Nice video of Steven Strogatz and Carlo Ratti discussing complexity
and urban design:

http://salon.seedmagazine.com/salon_strogatz_ratti.html
Strogatz mathematically describes how natural and sociocultural
complexity resolves into vast webs of order. Ratti uses technology as
a tool to create interactive urban environments. In this video Salon,
Strogatz and Ratti discuss whether building and analyzing human
networks can help us overcome our poor mathematical understanding of
complexity.
