Chaos and Order

There is no grand purpose

At least, I don’t think there is.

I don’t think people fit some scheme or grand plan some “creator” made.

What reigns supreme, in my experience, is chaos.

“Order” is a narrative we use to make sense of chaos.

So, a few ideas based on this point of view:

  • Your ability to craft convincing narratives (order) is essential
  • Navigating chaos in it’s purest form is a mighty strength
  • A pure signal is an illusion

The world is messy.

Complexity is Chaos and Simplicity is Order

However, we need things a little messy to do our best work

I don’t know about you, but when I walk into a room that is a mess, I get antsy. Too much mystery. I don’t know what to expect.

I don’t know about you, but when I walk into a room that is spotless, I get antsy. It’s to put together. I might mess something up.

Human beings are all on a spectrum. However, the thing that binds us is that we need a little mystery and a little cleanliness to work.

Leave a little mystery,  and for god sakes, clean up.

Disorder is Here. Get Used to It.

Disorder is here to stay. That is forever

Human beings are complex creatures.

With complexity comes disorder.

We, as humans, like “simple.” The truth is, though, things are never the way they are “supposed to be” for too long. It has always been this way.

  • The idea of a “job” as we know it is only 200 years old.
  • “Car culture” has been only  around for 75 years.
  • Venture Capital (VC) has operated as it does now for just 40 years.

The last two items on that list mean there is someone in your family that is still alive who didn’t have a car growing up, or thinks it’s crazy to raise money without going to the bank.

Humanity is always changing.

Don’t get left behind, because later, there will be jet packs.
