How come Naomi Klein never mentions this in relation to disaster
capitalism?  Seems like having a positive side to disasters is
infrequently talked about.

Interesting about Gilligan's Island vs. Lord of the Flies.  Never thought
about that.

This quote:

 ...elites perceive a threat from out-of-control and unruly
 ‘mobs,’ so create a myth of
 social panic that shapes their actions, and they panic as a result. Elite
 panic reinforces an assumption that human nature is greedy and
 animalistic, and an upending of their social order can only lead to
 chaos.

makes me think that this is a good excuse to not listen to single
authorities which command large numbers of people.

These set of articles makes me think that conducting a series of workshops
for this stuff would be the most useful way to learn it.  Just reading it
may not stick.
