We humans wonder why, after centuries of trying to create a system of government that actually works for everyone, our efforts continue to be stymied.

It turns out that the answer is really quite simple: We are trying to achieve the impossible.

According to American historian Henry Brooks Adams, a descendant of two U.S. presidents, John Adams and John Quincy Adams:

“Chaos was the law of nature; Order was the dream of man.”

– Henry Brooks Adams, “The Education of Henry Adams”

No wonder we’re in such a mess. Instead of working with Nature — as some indigenous peoples have been trying to teach us — we’ve been attempting to outsmart her. And any idiot knows you can’t do that.

Well . . . maybe not every idiot.

Just sayin’ . . .
