"Intrinsic to life of all higher animals are two complementary needs- for making order out of experience, and for disorder- novelty or the unexpected” – pg. 134, Dissanayake
We enjoy making order. O
If we are to make order then we need disorder. O⊃D
Therefore we enjoy disorder. ∴D
We enjoy the challenge.
Nice. I agree that disorder often keeps us on our toes which is probably why we find it so alluring whether it is in the form of a disaster or just an everyday norm being disrupted. Usually at the time of chaos, we long for normally and safety but looking back, we see that we thrive on the extreme emotions (whether positive or negative) that we feel during these times because any emotion in excess has the effect of a drug and I think that fascinates us as a curious species.
