i think systems literacy is one of the most undervalued, and because of that untaught, things in the american information environment. every day there's a flood of new events, new information, new interpretations. if you don't have a model for how the systems underlying society work then every new bit of info emerges spontaneously, causelessly, quickly disappears into void. the models of systems each of us carries through life are brittle and wobbly but without even that we're truly lost.
