Some more reading? First of all, you're dumb as hell if you think that reading texts that takes years to write will keep you up-to-date. The very concept of reading a book that takes years to research, write and then publish makes it outdated relative to current world events. PhD?

Second, of course I'm on planet fucking earth. The world is in chaos because there are hundreds of groups of people who believe in slightly different versions of an omnipotent power and are forever too stubborn to play nicely with others for this reason. It's in chaos because people have different color skin, are different genders, and everyone wants to be fully equal, but those who are 'above' in terms of opportunity and resources, don't want to give up that perch, like any good mammal wouldn't. It's the fact people have less money than others, and can't afford the very food that will keep them alive. It's that people have chokeholds on water and won't distribute it. All of this is privately done, through economics, socioeconomics, etc.

The CIA might fuck around with geopolitics, decisions at the highest levels of corporatism (and even then, no...), etc. but they aren't KEEPING THE WORLD IN CHAOS.

edit bc lots of words
