I'm just getting started with self-study in John Sterman's Business Dynamics: Systems Thinking and Modeling for a Complex World. He writes: "... Systems Thinking--the ability to see the world as a complex system, in which we understand that 'you can't just do one thing' and that 'everything is connected to everything else.'"

It seems to me there have been "system thinkers" since from who knows when. Jesus and Buddha ... Ghandi and King ... Myrtle Fillmore, Unity cofounder ... varied others. Must all "systems thinkers" be able to say what Systems Thinking is?
