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 this 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.

“We were angry and righteous in those days, and there were millions of us. We kicked two chief executives out of the White House because they were stupid warmongers. We conquered Lyndon Johnson and we stomped on Richard Nixon… Our tribe was strong like a river. That river is still running. 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

PolitiFact

  • A New York state legislator said proposed data centers would use “approximately double” the energy consumed by all of the state’s households combined. It would be a big amount, but not double.
  • Social media posts are warning that California has enough gasoline to meet only six weeks of demand. This misunderstands what a California energy official said.
  • President Donald Trump recently said consumer confidence in the U.S. economy is “way up." Most measures show that consumer confidence is at a low point, and in some cases, close to an all-time low.
  • Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent cited Democrats’ efforts to block a merger as a reason Spirit Airlines shut down. That’s misleading. A federal judge ruled that the proposed merger was illegal, and Spirit said it closed because of rising fuel costs.
  • As New York officials consider buffer zones around houses of worship, a state senator said New York City hate crimes jumped 152% over a year. The statistic comes from an official police count, but experts urge caution about drawing large conclusions.

“Chaos is what we've lost touch with. This is why it is given a bad name. It is feared by the dominant archetype of our world, which is Ego, which clenches because its existence is defined in terms of control.”
- Terence McKenna, attributed

"In the end, McKenna, the Stoics, Buddhists, Taoists, and Heraclitus are all pointing us toward the same truth: to live fully, we must learn to dance with chaos, not run from it. We must let go of our rigid need for control and open ourselves to the wild, untamed, and unpredictable flow of life. Only then can we truly understand the deeper currents that shape our existence, the very sections of life where chaos and order intertwine."
- The Fear of Letting Go: Ego’s Struggle for Control
