The real question is, how do you raise your kids so they don't turn into the next Pete Buttigieg?

      because unstable patterns break apart when met with random and wild phenomena. In a universe full of so much chaos, stable patterns are the only patterns that don't break apart.

      why?

      because their cohesion is stronger than the forces trying to break them apart

      why?

      these patterns build upon themselves and create a collection of energy that works together that is more than chaos can muster

      why?

      because chaotic energy isn't going to be cohesive and collect enough force to beat a stable pattern

      why?

      because if chaotic energy were so cohesive and structures, it would be a stable pattern and thus, not chaotic. Chaos, is by definition, an unstable pattern

      why?

      because it is an axiomatic definition of chaos

      why?

      because if we are to talk about this subject, we need definitions to work with

      why?

      because the amount of information being passed from me to you would be negligible unless we can use a common language

      why?

      because without common words, you wouldn't be able to understand anything I'm trying to say

      why?

      because information needs to be encoded before it can transfer from my brain to yours

      why?

      because only I am able to see into my internal consciousness

      why?

      because consciousness, as it is conventionally understood, is a solo venture

      why?

      because a star exploded and deposited heavy elements into a massive disk, which slowly formed into planets.
