Chaotic Change



Change can occur without the guiding forces of religion, economics, politics, or civilization.  There are no truly chaotic events.  Underlying everything are the natural laws.  It is chaos from a human perspective. Revolutions, natural disasters, and man-made disasters are as close as we can get to Chaotic change.  Even the suggestion that we abandon the current economic system would evoke visions of chaos.  How would we work, produce, and live without the fundamentals of the capitalist system?  But modeling this type of change is exactly what we should be doing because the current system is not sustainable or equitable.  We can cling to the current model which has outlived its usefulness or invite chaotic change, perhaps guided by the empirical analysis it will provide.
