The impression I always had with general systems (from afar) was that it looked cool, but it never seemed to be useful for doing anything other than “think in systems”, (so not useful for doing research in another field or making any concrete applications). So that’s why I never felt interested. Note that I’m clearly not knowledgeable at all on the subject, this is just my outside impression.
I assume from your comment you think that’s wrong. Is the Weinberg book a good resource for educating myself and seeing how wrong I am?
