The Principia Discordia contains the Law of Eristic Escalation. This law states that Imposition of Order = Escalation of Chaos. It elaborates on
this point by saying that the more order imposed the longer it takes for the chaos to arise and the greater the chaos that arises. The idea is not
new; it is mentioned in the tao te ching: "the more laws and orders are written, the more thieves there are".

This can be read as an argument against zero tolerance and hard security, or just a statement about the world. It can also be seen as a
parallel to the second law of thermodynamics which states that entropy (the number of states a given system can occupy) never decreases over
time. It is also reminiscent of Newton's Third Law, where every action has an equal and opposite reaction.

While the ontological determinism rules out the chance, theorizing that
the becoming is only by necessity, the indeterminism sees alternating the
chance and the necessity, where the first is causing change, and then the
new, while the second makes the existing keep unchanged.

and then, like, dozens and dozens of packs of new underwear

half black, half white

rip the seams and patch together a pair of, like, triple layered pants

and they're button up, of course... to go with the new buttons

it'd pop like whose yer business, under one of them big blacklights

and dance and dance and dance

and scrunch yer face, all serious like, when the music hits that certain phat sound

all elbows and knees, like you knews it was coming

then comes the quaint smile

as your footstep matchbeat

makes love

have a cigarette

Apollo

The son of Zeus, and the brother of the goddess Artemis,he is the god of arts,
archery, and divination. He represents order, harmony, and civilization in a way
that most other Olympian deities cannot quite equal. Apollo is most often associated
with the cultivated arts of music and medicine, and his role as the leader
of the Muses establishes him as a patron of
intellectual pursuits.

1) Culture capacities are adaptations

The human capacity to store and transmit culture arose from genetically evolved psychological mechanisms. This implies that at some point during the evolution of the human species a type of social learning leading to cumulative cultural evolution was evolutionarily advantageous.


2) Culture evolves

Social learning processes give rise to cultural evolution. Cultural traits are transmitted differently than genetic traits and, therefore, result in different population-level effects. These effects can help explain human behavioral variation.


3) Genes and culture coevolve

Cultural traits alter the social and physical environments under which genetic selection operates. For example, the cultural adoptions of agriculture and dairying have, in humans, caused genetic selection for the traits to digest starch and lactose, respectively. As another example, it is likely that once culture became adaptive, genetic selection caused a refinement of the cognitive architecture that stores and transmits cultural information. This refinement may have further influenced the way culture is stored and the biases that govern its transmission.
