Adam, I think general systems theory can provide more insight into what is happening. We have an increase in inter-dependecy (an outcome of globalization) without corresponding increase of global/shared awareness. As a result, all actions bring surprising or unexpected outcomes, often far away. Someone charges an iphone in Poland powered by coal, which drops a ton of rain on California via global warming. We just cant predict what is going to happen. Threshold of current understanding capacity has been exceeded. US military dealt with this phenomenon several times, as it breaks all existing conceptual models. And yet it is well known in General Systems 101.
