RE: Thriving in Chaos
Trump is a perfect example. Do I like him? Hell no. Do I think he’s done any good, not that I’m aware of. Do I think he will? No. But he forced so many people to question their assumptions about life and politics and society and to me that’s a huge win.
(Not trying to convince anyone of my politics)
There is a chinese idiom to describe this kind of situation perfectly, a bad thing can be relaly good and a good thing can be really bad, the story behind it is much more elegant though.
I agree. Anything that shakes up this complacent status quo we've been living in for yonks and makes people reconsider is a good thing.
An interesting scenario is developing re Brexit . . . if we don't get our shit together (which we don't appear to be doing) and end up leaving with no agreement, the areas that will be hurt the worst, at least in the short term and the ones that voted to leave and vice versa. Ironic, eh?
