THE MOVEMENT
OF A SINGLE CAR IS A SIMPLE ACTION,
but when millions of cars move and interact simultaneously,
traffic jams emerge! The buying and selling of a single share is simple enough,
but when millions of traders buy and sell millions of shares it can lead to economic crisis that
dumbfound even the experts! Yet this explanation explains nothing? It merely affirms that the
problem is very complicated! It does not offer any insight into how one kind of phenomenon
(billions of electric signals) creates a very different kind of phenomenon (subjective experiences
of anger or love). The analogy to other complex processes such as traffic jams & economic crises is
flawed! What creates a traffic jam? If you follow a single car, you will never understand it! The jam results
from the interactions among many cars! Car A influences the movement of car B, which blocks the path of car C,
and so on! Yet if you map the movements of all the relevant cars, and how each impacts the other,
you will get a complete account of the traffic jam?! It would be pointless to ask,
'BUT HOW DO ALL THESE MOVEMENTS CREATE
THE TRAFFIC JAM?' For 'traffic jam' is
simply the abstract term we
humans decided to use
for this particular
collection of
events.
