CHAOS AS A SOLUTION

Eric Weinstein posited a notion on Rogan’s podcast, essentially claiming human beings have a miraculous and peculiar ability to intuit the proper and necessary conclusion from a given complex situation [say a Trump presidency] and carry out the appropriate action, despite not knowing or even having the wrong (but articulate) causal explanation(s) for said action. {Obviously a very evolutionarily advantageous trait}

Curt Doolittle on the other hand has come up with a proper analysis of complex situations, like a Trump presidency, and I quote, “The most powerful method of management in an environment of mistrust is chaos, by which one applies long term pressure to achieve strategic ends,” and with that; bolsters the Trump supporters, quells the hysterical, explains those who have “dropped out” of the political conversation, and calms those with legitimate gripes. Bravo!

Times of chaos indeed https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=T4fjSrVCDvA&t=5424s; but as the explanation of human behavior and the quote above seem to evidence we have powerful forces on our side and less reason to be pessimistic than most of us think.
