Greetings! Salutations! Welcome one and all to “Order and the World,” a blog intended to examine the most widely accepted phenomenon in human society—the existence of order.

| "Order in the world..." basically, why does this bother us? |
Call it whatever you would like—order, structure, organization, et. cetera—the premise remains the same. Whether or not we readily accept it, human beings crave a sense of order; we like to know that things have a predictable structure that we in turn utilize to understand the world around us. What happens, though, when we take a step back and question the very structure that allows us to question? In other words, if we investigate the very existence of order, something very shocking may happen: we may discover that order, as we know it, does not exist.

While I don’t yet intend to claim such a statement, I do intend to utilize this blog to investigate the thing so obvious that it is often left unacknowledged: you guessed it, order. Come along for the ride and join me in my attempt to question the most quintessential facets of human existence.
