Embracing the Chaos

Most of us believe our lives are ordered by reason, or at least some kind of a sensible narrative... However, much as we hate to admit it, chance, randomness and chaos all play a crucial role in our lives (as well as our societies) - and that's exactly what Brian Klaas, associate professor in Global politics at University College London, wrote a phenomenal book about (called Fluke: Chance, Chaos and Why Everything We Do Matters). We also discuss the pervasive ideology of individualism, "hustle culture", the myth of a secret genius, conspiracy theories and the best way to lead our lives in our dopamine dependent societies.
