SUMMARY:Lessons learned from 19 years of chaos and complexity\, Chaos 
 & Complex Systems Seminar\, Clint Sprott\, UW Department of Physics
DESCRIPTION:As we conclude the nineteenth year of the Chaos and Comple
 x Systems Seminar\, I would like to discuss some of the lessons I have
  learned from listening to over 500 talks\, from my own research\, and
  from the many books and articles I have read on the subject. This wil
 l be a rather personal and subjective talk and thus probably controver
 sial. In particular\, I will argue that the feedback\, nonlinearities\
 , and self-organization that characterize all real dynamical systems a
 re more likely to ameliorate the dire consequences that others have pr
 edicted than to exacerbate them as so many fear. This is not a predict
 ion that our problems will vanish or an argument for ignoring them. On
  the contrary\, our choices and actions are the means by which society
  will reorganize to become even better in the decades to follow\, albe
 it surely not a Utopia.
