"From a common sense perspective, no functioning pluralistic democracy is going to suddenly throw up its hands and become a dictatorship, right? You must have the interim step. You need chaos. You need anarchy.
"But what if you can’t actually create anarchy, so instead you construct the perception of total chaos? What if you set up massive cable, social media, and influencer networks to just tell people all day that the world is going to hell? What if you build a Simple Chaos alternate reality attractor? [a simulator]
"The natural dynamic of a state in Simple Chaos is to settle into Simple Order. A noisy, chaotic state doesn’t suddenly become more complex, it tries to minimize energy and noise in the system; it simplifies itself. This is why chaos is the dictator’s lifeblood. He needs it, so he can “solve” it through autocratic control."
