For the past several years I've been studying complex systems. Those are
systems with complex interactions between various parts, so that they are more
than just the sum of their parts. Systems where cause and effect are hard to
tease out. Systems like climate, like economics, and like politics.

For the past several years I've been studying complex systems. Those are
systems with complex interactions between various parts, so that they are more
than just the sum of their parts. Systems where cause and effect are hard to
tease out. Systems like climate, like economics, and like politics.
What does that have to do with Donald Trump? To make progress in dealing with
a complex system, you need to avoid too much order and too much chaos. Too
much chaos makes progress impossible. But so does too much order -- stasis
means no progress.
Barack ""no drama"" Obama played things too cautiously. He did not want to
cause offense. He did not want to fire people except for just cause. He wanted
to be admired. He wanted to be liked.
Donald ""you're fired!"" Trump gets it right. He focuses on getting things
done, not on being liked. By no means is he cautious. But he doesn't get very
far out there either. There's madness to his method, but also method to his
madness.
Barack Obama's presidency was successful, certainly, in a modest way. But
Donald Trump is looking for something more. He is willing to gamble, to go to
the edge of chaos, in looking for progress. And I'll bet he gets it.
