Jim Rutt
American technologist and complexity researcher. Former chairman of the Santa Fe Institute, the leading interdisciplinary research centre for complexity science. Earlier career in technology entrepreneurship and internet infrastructure. Host of The Jim Rutt Show.
Rutt’s conversations are dense and technically uncompromising, drawing on complexity theory, cognitive science, philosophy of mind, systems thinking, and political economy. He is a prepared interlocutor who engages at the level of the guest’s own framework rather than seeking accessible summaries. Episodes routinely run 90 to 120 minutes with no concessions to casual listeners.
