We Should Welcome Chaos.

You think it a strange statement? Perhaps it is but I have my thought as to why we should except chaos into our lives. The world is coming to an end, now I'm not saying the Earth is about to go boom and all life will die but our lives or more importantly our society is about to finish. Global economic meltdown, diesease, famine, poverty and war is consuming our minds at an ever increasing rate. Chaos is reigning, chaos winning.

This chaos is a constant, it is ever progressive. It will get to a point where it will be all that is.

This is why I believe that we should learn to respect and except chaos because when we do we can start to learn that chaos doesn't have to mean disaster. We can harness it to use to our advantage. Whether it be to takedown a government or to stop a war.

Just my first chaotic thoughts.

You may be confusing chaos with anarchy. Chaos is well, chaos. Anarchy is a political bent that is reliant on personal responsibility.

Hopefully the coming anarchy doesn't last too long, it shouldn't. It's just the period of time between the overthrow of the old system and putting in place the new one.

It will be a liberating time for nihilists and a depressing time for people that weren't mentally prepared.

No I'm talking about full blown, unlimited, guns blazing chaos. In my eyes anarchy would never work because most people are just to lazy.

Agreed but can a system built on chaos last without it?

As I've said for some time. The constant of the universe that never changes is chaos. Order doesn't truly exist in the sense of something ordered, lasting. We tend to think of everything, time and matter, of being in a linear state like a straight line. But the real state of everything is more like loops, jags, curves, u-turns, and many complex patterns. What we would call order is just segments of occasionally straight lines in the absurdly complicated squiggles.

All things change, that fact never changes. This is chaos.

I'm not sure I know what you mean. I don't think people will just act completely crazy, if that's what you mean by chaos.

EDIT: Do you think people act on motivations or just whim?

Exactly.

We are born from chaos, live in chaos. Yet we try to fight it. It is human nature to put the world in order but maybe if we change this human law to see that only chaos exists we change change the world for the better?

I don't mean people running around acting nuts. I guess what I mean is constant change, constant reinvention.

TBH this is still a working thought, I posted this thread in hope of finding some others to help me work with it.

There's no where on Earth that lives by the same system it lived by a thousand years ago, unless you count remote tribes.

Should we welcome WW3?

What say you?

WW3 is a form of chaos, yes?

No but then ww3 is a controlled event.
