I'm an ecologist, and I study complexity.

I love complexity.

So I want to share with you a couple key insights about complexity we're learning from studying nature that maybe are applicable to other problems.

First is the simple power of good visualization tools to help untangle complexity and just encourage you to ask questions you didn't think of before.

So the more you step back, embrace complexity, the better chance you have of finding simple answers, and it's often different than the simple answer that you started with.

We're discovering in nature that simplicity often lies on the other side of complexity.

So for any problem, the more you can zoom out and embrace complexity, the better chance you have of zooming in on the simple details that matter most.

And by appreciating complexity, they become more tolerant, and tolerance leads to hope.

But the complexity lies with all of these extra items, the buttons, the zippers and the trim.

Well it was a lot of noise and complexity in my head, until actually I realized it was happening because of four key drivers.

And what we found was this curious phenomena, that caregiver speech would systematically dip to a minimum, making language as simple as possible, and then slowly ascend back up in complexity.

And we know in our heart of hearts that the universe does not travel from mush to complexity.

What we see around us is staggering complexity.

And they're being traded by a species of almost seven billion individuals, who are linked by trade, travel, and the Internet into a global system of stupendous complexity.

So here's a great puzzle: in a universe ruled by the second law of thermodynamics, how is it possible to generate the sort of complexity I've described, the sort of complexity represented by you and me and the convention center?

Well, the answer seems to be, the universe can create complexity, but with great difficulty.

And in this way, complexity builds stage by stage.

The complex things get more fragile, more vulnerable; the Goldilocks conditions get more stringent, and it's more difficult to create complexity.

Now, we, as extremely complex creatures, desperately need to know this story of how the universe creates complexity despite the second law, and why complexity means vulnerability and fragility.

These are tiny differences, but it was enough for the universe to move on to the next stage of building complexity.

So we've crossed a fourth threshold of complexity.

The next stage introduces entities that are significantly more fragile, significantly more vulnerable, but they're also much more creative and much more capable of generating further complexity.

So DNA's learning and it's building greater diversity and greater complexity.

But they had great diversity, and, inside, great complexity.

So fossil fuels and collective learning together explain the staggering complexity we see around us.

So what big history can do is show us the nature of our complexity and fragility and the dangers that face us, but it can also show us our power with collective learning.

In simplicity and complexity.

And to me, if you really want to rediscover wonder, you need to step outside of that tiny, terrified space of rightness and look around at each other and look out at the vastness and complexity and mystery of the universe and be able to say, "Wow, I don't know.

Now you may be wondering what all this complexity looks like.

Complexity is the problem that any theory of biology has to solve, and you can't solve it by postulating an agent that is even more complex, thereby simply compounding the problem.
