It depends what you mean by ordered

2020-03-28 04:03:21 UTC  

i was more saying that i dont consider our society to be moving towards greater order

2020-03-28 04:03:32 UTC  

like Rome

2020-03-28 04:03:42 UTC  

dissolution

2020-03-28 04:03:57 UTC  

I want to switch my approach here for a minute, itll still get at the topic

2020-03-28 04:04:18 UTC  

Everyone has a place that they belong in society

2020-03-28 04:04:18 UTC  

I don't know that you can really call something disordered vs ordered, beyond how most people have a propensity to organize things.

2020-03-28 04:04:51 UTC  

many of the past problems in society came from the fact that they tried to define places based off of birth

2020-03-28 04:05:05 UTC  

peoples abilities determine their place

2020-03-28 04:05:10 UTC  

so you think that economic systems which allow full individuality aren't 'ordered'?

2020-03-28 04:05:10 UTC  

I think we're getting off track here.

2020-03-28 04:05:32 UTC  

Could you explain to me what you mean by order? I'm confused by how you're using it here.

2020-03-28 04:05:35 UTC  

I don't want to interrupt your discussion, so I'll butt out

2020-03-28 04:06:16 UTC  

Order is best defined by its antonym, Chaos

2020-03-28 04:06:30 UTC  

Chaos, in terms of humans, is anarchy

2020-03-28 04:06:41 UTC  

this is getting more confusing

2020-03-28 04:06:44 UTC  

Political Satanism, if you will

2020-03-28 04:06:56 UTC  

I don't think anarchy and satan are going to help me out here.

2020-03-28 04:07:26 UTC  

to abstract one level further, perfect order is like a machine, a clock or car

2020-03-28 04:07:27 UTC  

What do you mean by order? On its own. My understanding of order is an arrangement, or organization according to a set of instructions.

2020-03-28 04:07:42 UTC  

every piece in its place with its specific function it was made to perform

2020-03-28 04:08:06 UTC  

what is an example of something disordered then?

2020-03-28 04:08:26 UTC  

if a clock is ordered becaus each piece was placed intentionally, would disorder be an arrangement with no intention behind it?

2020-03-28 04:08:37 UTC  

no

2020-03-28 04:08:41 UTC  

well

2020-03-28 04:08:51 UTC  

it depends i guess

2020-03-28 04:09:04 UTC  

directed vs undirected chaos

2020-03-28 04:09:07 UTC  

Maybe a riot, but then the riotors are order amougnst themselves.

2020-03-28 04:09:18 UTC  

That would be directed chaos

2020-03-28 04:09:32 UTC  

Chaos against "the system"

2020-03-28 04:09:33 UTC  

I think we typically call things ordered or disordered based on how people tend to organize things.

2020-03-28 04:09:35 UTC  

pure chaos cannot exist because even chaotic things have laws like gravity etc acting upon them

2020-03-28 04:09:52 UTC  

so the ocean, while chaotic, is also somewhat ordered

2020-03-28 04:10:14 UTC  

I don't know that you could really call anything disordered besides a few really niche examples

2020-03-28 04:10:15 UTC  

order is law and predictability

2020-03-28 04:10:34 UTC  

predictability is a whole other concept though I worry about invoking that here.

2020-03-28 04:10:36 UTC  

taken from a wide enough lens, anything can have order to it

2020-03-28 04:10:49 UTC  

fair enough

2020-03-28 04:10:57 UTC  

well not anything

2020-03-28 04:11:08 UTC  

I think non-computable numbers could be considered disordered

2020-03-28 04:11:13 UTC  

as there is no way to produce them
