Control Vs. Chaos: Humanity's Enduring Struggle

Jon Rasmussen

Shaman Jon Rasmussen's essay, "Control and Chaos," proposes a theory framing human history as a struggle between control and chaos, stemming from the shift from hunter-gatherer societies to agriculture. He argues that all subsequent human systems, including political and social structures, represent attempts to either maintain or disrupt existing power balances. Rasmussen uses examples like Singapore and Haiti to illustrate the contrast between controlled and chaotic societies, and applies his framework to analyze various groups and conspiracy theories, suggesting they all aim to achieve either greater control or a return to a less controlled state. Ultimately, he emphasizes the importance of individual choices in navigating this fundamental conflict.
