The Dangers of Systematization

1 Min

Schools of thoughts and entire philosophical systems have been created to make sense of the world. Physics, marxism, capitalism and all the isms. Right down to the ingredients required to bake your favorite cake. Everywhere you look, there will be a set of laws waiting for you.

This is our world order. And make no mistake, without it, we wouldn’t be here. But remember the unique qualities of chaos. Don’t forget what it means to live lawlessly, if only for an instant. The danger when systematizing everything, writing rules for everything, lies in loosing a fluidity of life, an allowance for our humanity. Our default is chaos, which is why we so desperately crave order.
