EH - 103 : Chaos

"The eagerness of so many people to accept superficial answers to complex problems, is what keeps the political rackets in business."

"... politics functions the way much of traditional medicine does: to repress troublesome symptoms with remedies that produce exponential increases in other symptoms requiring additional medications."

"human society functions better when it is organized horizontally rather than vertically. In words that have become increasingly familiar to us, “nothing grows from the top down.”

Butler Shafer is one of the people i want to see on the team to reassemble the dissembled words. When you find a good blog quote in an article, you are happy. When you read a Shafer article, you have a quote in every paragraph. A law degree and a complex understanding of chaotic phenomena - this is where leadership can learn.

"learning occurs only when we are uncomfortable with not knowing something we would like to know"

Indeed, Butler is a whiz, ain't he.
