Page 30 - COVID-19: The Great Reset

The fundamental point here is this: complexity creates limits to
our knowledge and understanding of things; it might thus be that

today’s increasing complexity literally overwhelms the capabilities
of politicians in particular – and decision-makers in general – to
make well informed decisions. A theoretical physicist turned head
of state (President Armen Sarkissian of Armenia) made this point

when he coined the expression “quantum politics”, outlining how
the classical world of post-Newtonian physics – linear, predictable
and to some extent even deterministic – had given way to the
quantum world: highly interconnected and uncertain, incredibly

complex and also changing depending on the position of the
observer. This expression recalls quantum physics, which
explains how everything works and is “the best description we
have of the nature of the particles that make up matter and the

forces with which they interact.” [14] The COVID-19 pandemic has
laid bare this quantum world.
