To summarize this article, let's consider the concept of Chaos theory:

Chaos Theory is a branch of mathematics focusing on the behavior of dynamical systems that are highly sensitive to initial conditions . 'Chaos' is an interdisciplinary theory stating that within the apparent randomness of chaotic complex systems , there are underlying patterns, constant feedback loops , repetition, self-similarity , fractals , self-organization , and reliance on programming at the initial point known as sensitive dependence on initial conditions. The butterfly effect describes how a small change in one state of a deterministic nonlinear system can result in large differences in a later state, e.g. a butterfly flapping its wings in China can cause a hurricane in Texas.[1]

Small differences in initial conditions such as those due to rounding errors in numerical computation yield widely diverging outcomes for such dynamical systems, rendering long-term prediction of their behavior impossible in general.[2] [3] This happens even though these systems are deterministic , meaning that their future behavior is fully determined by their initial conditions, with no random elements involved.[4] In other words, the deterministic nature of these systems does not make them predictable.[5] [6] This behavior is known as deterministic chaos, or simply chaos. The theory was summarized by Edward Lorenz as:[7]

Chaos: When the present determines the future, but the approximate present does not approximately determine the future. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Chaos_theory

Chaos will ultimately create a "New Earth" that fosters a different kind of life that we contemporary humans would not understand. Chaos is not randomness. It is infinite potentials. It's about everything affecting everything else. The message in this is that all of us are cells in the play of Chaos. In diving into Chaos, what would you like to see happen as Chaos manifests Order? Your thoughts can rumble and ramble while becoming a participant of the "New World".

To emphasize, all potentials are within us. It is we, every one of us that need to foster a just, sustainable and equitable love-filled world. This includes the rest of our planet, the solar system and the galaxies existing billions of light years away from our daily routines.

On the surface, as we currently view our world, all things appear finite. In our depths, all of us and all we share space with are infinite. Thus, the question becomes, "Do we continue being under the thumb of those like Trump, Clinton, etc. Do we thus stay stuck in what is now falling apart? Or, do we want to become 'songbirds taking flight' into another way of living?"

Whose choice does it come down to, really? Ours, or the likes of Trump.

Who decides?
