Diversity not only increases internal variety but also promotes the amplification of useful variety. Homogeneity, on the other hand, decreases internal variety and promotes the amplification of useless variety to the point that it becomes the greatest attenuator of all, ignorance. #SocialCybernetics

I think the lack of #variety is not always be a bad thing. It means things are done in a #consistent and #reliable manner. When you are #competent in something it becomes a simple nearly #trivial activity, a #routine done unconsciously freeing your consciousness for thinking about other more #complex things .
#Diversity is very useful when the system faces #unknown situations and must switch from normal #exploitation activities of acquiring resources for sustainable living to the #exploration of new "pastures" which consume those resources in the short term but may benefit in the long term.
How the system approaches a situation depends very much on how much #knowledge it has about the situation it is in and where this places it on the "#complexity plane".😀
