	7. ~~It is clear that the way we understand Ecology and its processes is completely biased by the early notions~~ of ~~human Economic competition (1700~~-~~1800) - and~~ that ~~also applies to~~ the ~~principle of natural selection. In your opinion, is there an alternative way of understanding ecology under a different paradigm~~?<br>		7. What advice do you have for those who wish to learn about a new subject or tool, but cannot necessarily take classes? How does one embark on a program of self-study?<br>
	8. How does people's belief about how economics works change the actual running of economics itself? More specifically, will the advance of complexity economics change the running of economics significantly? <br>		8. How do researchers advance in interdisciplinary complexity research when it seems that the academic system prioritizes maintaining the status quo? <br>
	9. ~~In an intertwined world where “ecological value~~ of ~~a resource decreases~~ with ~~rarity “, “economics rarity increases value” and both economic and ecological worlds are bounded by space and cognition, should we be looking for a coarse-grained effective theory~~ of ~~entangledness of systems~~? <br>		9.

It is clear that the way we understand Ecology and its processes is completely biased by the early notions of human Economic competition (1700-1800) - and that also applies to the principle of natural selection. In your opinion, is there an alternative way of understanding ecology under a different paradigm? <br>

In an intertwined world where “ecological value of a resource decreases with rarity “, “economics rarity increases value” and both economic and ecological worlds are bounded by space and cognition, should we be looking for a coarse-grained effective theory of entangledness of systems? <Br>
	16. Is there a bias in the SFI research agenda towards the application of very elaborated formal methods that are very much dependent of a good data situation? I.e. why are there comparatively few people working on complex (social) systems for which data collection and interpretation is necessarily very normative, data is scarce and often qualitative? Does the significantly high number of phisicists, mathematicians and computer scientists leads to a systemtically bias in this regard?<br>		16.
