Firing Up Superposition Liberal And Conservative Reptile Brains.
Chaos and random events are occurring all the time at various levels, and is required for order to reorder effectively into another, unavoidable stage. Conservatives want to prevent all chaos and randomness, and therefore the next stage of unavoidable change, similar to a region that continually suppresses forest fires to prevent damage to the human made structures, and the injury or death of its residents.

The Analogy Expression.
Yet after awhile, practicing suppression becomes dangerous, and all suppression efforts are overwhelmed, causing massive damage and calamitous results much worse than if suppression would not have been the main part of the plan. The inelasticity of the conservative, reptile-brain function, in either party depending on the issue, makes likely an implosion or explosion once suppression fails.

Unfortunately, those are the results residents demand, through their lack of desire for long term housing development planning and zoning, lax building codes, and to pay the front-loaded taxes required. The belief that government cannot do anything right generates these stopgap solutions. Of course, the whiplashing of government failing to stop the firebombing of their future lives engenders more distrust in government, and so on. Conservatives make our hypocrisy about government the winner.

If homes, businesses, and communities were planned and constructed to survive fires and shelter humans, such accounted-for chaotic eruptions could be merely a part of our life experiences rather than a catastrophic disruption. This type of preventive setup is much more difficult and expensive than fire suppression, but fire-outbreak randomness is absorbed with metastasizing chaos greatly reduced. In addition, readjusting and reordering in the future is made easier, and much more seamless.

Yes, society is exponentially more multifaceted, tangential, and tentacled than any region where there is wildfire potential. However, rather than reacting with full-on suppression as we always have, including inhibiting the majority consensus, our focus as an advanced society should be redirected towards…
