About TCS
Founded in Austin, TX, in 2012, The Chaos Section is a collaborative writing project with contributors from all corners of the country. Each writer brings a unique perspective, offering insights into a wide range of topics. This site isn’t here to focus on one person’s interests, but to explore the ideas and musings of the people who fascinate us. Thanks for joining us on the ride.

Obligatory Disclaimer: The views expressed by our authors are their own and don’t necessarily reflect the opinions of their fellow writers or The Chaos Section community. Then again, sometimes they do. Life’s unpredictable like that.

All we have to do is get out and vote, while it’s still legal, and we will wash those crooked warmongers out of the White House.”

— Hunter S. Thompson, 
Rolling Stone, November 11, 2004
