When we have to put things in order.

This is the fif­teenth in a series of posts reflec­ting on the impor­tance of our actions and what we do to contri­bute to some­thing, and ideal­ly, some­thing grea­ter. These posts should be read in order of publi­ca­tion. Star­ting with num­ber six, for example, would make no sense to the rea­der. Hap­py reading!

Lacking the rigor of ants, humans have often been vic­tims of their care­less­ness. Ins­tead of sys­te­ma­ti­cal­ly orde­ring their affairs, the accu­mu­la­tion of disor­der has some­times cau­sed social land­slides. Let me explain.

Past civi­li­za­tions, and thanks to Paul for reo­pe­ning my eyes on this recent­ly, seem to have been vic­tims of great changes. The fact that these big changes are hap­pe­ning is beyond our control, but we must ask our­selves a cru­cial ques­tion: Would things have been worse or bet­ter if we had done other­wise? Civi­li­za­tions have let them­selves go, of course, but if a par­ti­cu­lar civi­li­za­tion hadn’t have made this choice, which is in fact choice at all 😆, would it have been able to cope with neigh­bo­ring civi­li­za­tions that wor­ked in this pre­vious way? Disor­ga­ni­zed civi­li­za­tions hit hard by a catas­trophe become the new bar­ba­rians of others. Could this order­ly civi­li­za­tion have made it out alive?

This raises the ques­tion of whe­ther order can over­come chaos, whe­ther having a dis­ci­pli­ned life can hold its own against those without one. If taking charge of your life is no worse than not doing so in a Sys­tem based on chaos.
