Personally, I love the 5-season cycle.
Each season has its own features, its own tools, its own escape scenario
My two cents says:
If something is in the season of
Chaos, recognize the potential energy there. Be mindful of the law of unintended consequences - during the prenatal form of any structure/idea/community/etc, the idea isn't fully formed yet. Random things can kick it in any direction.
If we are in the season of
Confusion, disorder reigns. Stuff needs structure or it will die.
If we are living in
Discord--in pre-bureaucratic times--- it is the eve of Order taking over. So as Discordians, we usually hit the brakes, we try to prevent order from dominating and becoming a bureaucracy.
If we are living in the season of
Bureaucracy, we build for Aftermath, we work on the systems that will replace Bureaucracy. We often work via acceleration, bring the pimple to the surface, intensifying the order until it is unpalatable (this is the same mechanism that Satire uses)
and that when you recognize an
Aftermath moment, savor it, appreciate it. The waves have broken and are rolling back into the sea.
