The Wisdom Of Chaos

Today’s episode is truly unique. I interviewed my two senior philosophy classes about what they found most meaningful about our course this semester: The Wisdom of Chaos - which uses chaos science as a metaphor for self-cultivation. When most of us think of chaos, words like randomness, disorder, disruptions, and uncertainty come to mind - which we try to avoid like a zombie apocalypse. So it’s hard to imagine that anything good or wise can come from it. Yet Chaos theory has demonstrated that nature uses randomness, disorder and disruptions to create stellar nurseries, weather patterns, coral reefs, and new adaptive traits in organism. Chaos theory reveals that instead of resisting life’s uncertainties and randomness, we should embrace the creative potential they offer. This podcast is structured around themes.
