A retired Full Professor of the University of Minho wrote a small piece titled "Predicting the Future" about the importance of chaos for the success of organizations. https://pacheco-torgal.blogspot.com/2021/11/academia-portuguesa-necessita-de.html
But what kind of chaos does Academia really need ? The slack type chaos that can lead to "an increase in creative projects, particularly relatively complex, high-quality projects” the Schumpeterian creative destruction chaos, or the absolutely disruptive "Better to reign in Hell than serve in Heaven" Milton´s kind of chaos?
PS - In the picture above, Satan in the Council summons the rebel angels. His famous speech reminds me that of Niall Ferguson who intends to reign in his new Hellish like University https://www.washingtonpost.com/outlook/2021/11/15/not-so-hidden-purpose-university-austin/
