Chaos Is the Implicit Intention

Workshop note – without AI

There are rules and laws, values and norms – and many different ways of living that either build upon them or reject them in sequence. As a result, choosing to live one’s own life can create a sense of chaos because of the simultaneous presence of contradictory demands.

In my mind, an alarm goes off, telling me that you cannot treat everything as equally valid.

That is true.

But, from an epistemological perspective, something happens if, for just a moment, you merely pretend that you can – knowing full well that, as soon as reliable conclusions are required, you have to leave that space again.

What that space offers, however, is a feeling of uncertainty.

And, as a consequence, humility.

But also security.

Because life does not behave in a directly irrational way.

Every decision grows out of a logic, or it emerges spontaneously, in which case at least the general direction is already given.

That means chaos is, in its full extent, exactly what it appears to be.

But if you look closely, it also seems remarkably ordered and logical, once you understand that logic.

The alarm has not disappeared yet.

This image carries surprisingly far, especially when you are willing to set aside your own principles and your morality, which would otherwise necessarily limit you.

That is why boundlessness is not my goal. Yet the space created in this way has a stabilising effect by preventing rigidity.
