Can Complexity Be Decoded Without the Necessary Attitude?

For Supercomplex Knowledge, supercomplexity is not just a definition of what occurs in the universe and in life; it is also a descriptor of an attitude that can be adopted by the human observer-developer. By embracing an open attitude toward the various questions of the universe and life itself, more creative and effective solutions can be found in challenging contexts. This attitude involves avoiding simplistic explanations and single causes, steering clear of linearity, and considering a broad range of variables; it implies combining different perspectives and beliefs to build a more enriching vision.

Supercomplex Attitude

Indicators of a complex attitude include curiosity and open-mindedness, tolerance for ambiguity and uncertainty, flexibility, critical thinking, the ability to see connections, acceptance of diversity, resilience, a focus on solutions, empathy, long-term thinking, and systems-based thinking. SK considers this attitude to be a form of knowledge in itself, as it goes beyond a cognitive position to involve an active disposition toward understanding and tackling supercomplexity. 

A supercomplex attitude simultaneously and circularly holds the tension between the coexistence of the linear, the repeated, and the uniform with the disruptive, the novel, and the exceptional. This perspective allows for the integration and recognition of the diversity and dynamics of phenomena, valuing both regularities and unexpected emergences. This way, a more flexible understanding of reality is promoted, accepting that complex systems are constantly in a dynamic balance. It also reflects a free, challenging, and humble emotionality capable of enriching how we face conflicts in various aspects of life. What needs to be developed, then, is a profound perspective that leaves nothing unexamined, a radical and critical attitude that questions hegemonic discourses and challenges what is socially imposed or accepted. Reality is multifaceted, and approaching it with a mindset that acknowledges and values complexity can lead to a richer and more nuanced understanding.  

The supercomplex attitude focuses on choosing options that foster the development of human and energetic potential, transcending imposed dogmas and beliefs. It encourages being critical of social messages and values, as well as oneself, promoting free thought and authenticity. By adopting this attitude, we are not only better prepared to understand reality in all its diversity, but we are also more equipped to interact with it effectively and ethically. It is an approach that values totality, interdependence, and diversity, which is essential in our interconnected world. These attitudes not only facilitate the emergence of a Supercomplex Knowledge paradigm but are also fundamental for its sustainability and evolution.
