I think this discussion is productive, because it seems it is
bringing some light and agreement on "what is complexity and what it
is not"...

In line with what other people have said, complexity has been
invading all sciences. e.g. you cannot do systems biology without
taking a complexity stance, but all these advances will be seen as
biology or medicine...
Same for other disciplines... so maybe the question could be
what can we do now that we couldn't do 15 years ago as a consequence
of complexity thinking?
Then the list I gave earlier would be a valid answer... even if the
advances come from physics, biology, engineering, they required ideas
from complex systems...
