b'Can we ever truly achieve Order in the international system? Or is life itself just a deterministic jumble of uncontrollable events? Do humans crave order so much that they perceive it even when it is absent \\u2013 leading to conspiracy theories? And should policymakers avoid optimization and prediction and embrace experimentation, resilience, and slack to fix the problems of our era of Global Enduring Disorder?\\xa0\\n\\xa0\\nThis week we celebrate the six-month anniversary of Disorder, by talking with a guest from our very first episode, the man who inspired this podcast, Brian Klaas. Brian\\u2019s page-turning new book \\u2018Fluke: Chance, Chaos, and Why Everything We Do Matters\\u2019, is not only a dynamic read, it has much to say about whether our lives, our politics, and our relationships can ever be truly ordered. In the conversation, Brian and Jason agree disagreeably about the following issues: do most people believe that good things happen to good people, that one\\u2019s lot in life is somehow earned, and that \\u2018things happen for a reason\\u2019? Can some disorder be good in our personal lives? Is Order a spiritual rather than a rational virtue?\\xa0\\xa0\\n\\xa0\\nTwitter: @DisorderShow\\xa0\\n\\xa0\\nSubscribe to our Substack: https://natoandtheged.substack.com/\\xa0\\xa0\\n\\xa0\\nWebsite: https://natoandtheglobalenduringdisorder.com/\\xa0\\xa0\\n\\xa0\\nProducer: George McDonagh\\xa0\\nExec Producer: Neil Fearn\\xa0\\n\\xa0\\nShow Notes Links\\xa0\\n\\xa0\\nPick up Fluke by visiting - https://brianpklaas.com/fluke\\xa0\\xa0\\n\\xa0\\nFor more of Brian\\u2019s writing visit - https://www.forkingpaths.co/\\xa0\\xa0\\xa0\\n\\xa0\\nListen to a great audio overview of the book here\\nLearn more about your ad choices.
