The Institution of Order

To those who feel that their values are the
values, the less controlled systems necessarily
present a spectacle of "chaos," simply because
such systems respond to a diversity of values.
The more successfully such systems respond to
diversity, the more "chaos" there will be, by
definition, according to the standards of any
specific set of values- other than diversity or
freedom as values. Looked at another way, the
more self-righteous observers there are, the more
chaos (and "waste") will be seen. -- Thomas Sowell

This took me a while to sort out.

Kind of any eye opener, isn't it.

But there is another kind of chaos that comes after
the futile attempts by the 'self-righteous' in
instituting maximum order.

It's the disorder brought on by those who chose not
to participate.
