Chaos, Inevitabilty and Evolution

These phenomenon are very deeply interconnected. I have always felt terrified by the concept of chaos. No matter how horrifying it seems, it's there. It's been there ever since the origin of first vibration that stimulated the first movement that eventually is the present and will be the future. I'm not sure if there was anything such as origin or there will be anything as such the 'end'.

Scientists(not all) say it could be the big bang, but then it is cascaded by series of question. Like what was before that? What amuses me more is the present, and how we are proceeding forwards. The idea that it's all very chaotic and could bring our lives to a sudden end is correct over an individual.

Like you could be in a park and the person next to you could be a psychopath who could kill you any moment. If that person actually kills you, we as a society would be forced to ruminate over the brutality of the chaos this life brings with it. For example,what if Albert Einstein hadn't had happened, if the little boy who grew up to be a legend had died of some cause? That single loss would have been a major setback for humanity and we would have been unaware about it.

But over a community, it leads us to phenomenon like evolution and a sure inevitability. Now one might fear that it could lead us to early extinction, but at the same time, we could be moving forward. To us, it seems to be moving forward, but at what speed? We don't know. And we will never know, unless we are sure about the end points, if there are any. Even if Einstein wouldn't have happened, his theories would have found some way or the other to show up. But, the advent of inevitability would have been slower than it is now and the devices like GPS and many others would have to wait to be invented.

The fact is that inevitability is sure a hundred percent probable phenomenon. But will we be able to come over a possible danger is a question we can not answer. Because there is no reference. Like there could be a major space catastrophe waiting to devour us and we may not be advanced enough to fight it, hence the end. If we are, then we're moving with desired speed.

We can increase the pace of advent of inevitability, and that should be our best course. History teaches us better than anything. We can make it our reference and act over with a better pace towards what inevitable. Like, Romans forgot to build aquifers and Egyptians forgot to build Pyramids, which was a major setback in their time. It happened because, people took the progress for granted. Which is not true, the fact that we as a community will, no matter what, be moving shouldn't seen in a context of moving forward.

We sure are limited by our subjectivities, but as a community, there will be evolutionary process always in reaction with respect to our action.
