We must seek a widely-applicable science of systems

Why we must seek a widely-applicable Science of Systems.

- We might go on to understand human behavior by figuring out how incentives stack together to influence strategies for agents in Systems small enough to be interpretable yet being composed of entities with large degrees of freedom and a general sense of non-linearity and stochasticness. These are a few examples off the top of my head, another really interesting point is that we might be able to solve problems that at least today, due to a lack of theory or general consensus, we might deem impossibly hard to understand. A concrete science of Complex Systems as a whole is that "fresh pair of eyes" that you sometimes seek when you're slowly losing hope in how you are currently approaching things to actually solve the problem at hand.
