This past weekend, I gave a talk on how cybernetic models (predictive processing, dynamical systems, homeostasis/allostasis) are a hugely powerful lens to understate the current epidemic of the recent rise in chronic illness.
It was inspired by the recent preprint by Thomas Pollak, Mike Levin, et al: Have you tried switching it off and on again? Mechanisms and therapeutic prospects of resetting homeostatic set points in medicine and neuropsychiatry
I recommend watching the video or listening while also looking at the slides.
You can find the slides here.
