"Babies are born in blood and chaos; stars and galaxies come into being amid the release of massive primordial cataclysms." — from Do the Work by Steven Pressfield Chaos is scary because it is unpredictable. You can create the conditions for chaos to happen, but you can't design it. Our brain is a predicting machine. It continuously evaluates the situation to find clues that will trigger behaviour in response. In every moment, our brain tries to fit the complexity of the world within the map of reality it has built over time. But amidst chaos everything gets blurred and mixed up, clues are hard to find, and our mental framework becomes almost useless.
