1/

A king on a sumptuous, much elaborated throne; in one hand he holds a sceptre of office, in the other, the leashes for two fierce stone dogs that guard the throne. The king's head has been replaced with a character who was used as the basis for MAD Magazine's Alfred E Neumann. The new head sports a conical dunce cap. Behind the king is a UK Reform Party rosette. The background is an Egyptian temple, ganked from a Dore Old Testament engraving. The floor has been carpeted in sumptuous tabriz from the Ottoman court.

I don't want to be that kind of Marxist, but "systems thinking" really seems to rhyme with dialectical and historical materialism, or at least seems an excellent supplement to those methods.
Good shout out, I'll definitely be exploring Meadow's work.
