Many have been describing the Year of Fire Horse as 'chaos'.

From economics to politics, much have been going against the fundamentals, behaviors erratic and justifications absolutely flawed.

When asked what I would describe the Year of Fire Horse in one word, my answer was 'irrational'.

Because it is not a year of spontaneous chaos but 'organized disorder' and they have been planned and orchestrated for specific gains and benefits to some.

Irrational because thoughts, behaviors and decisions continue to go against logic, reasoning or clear thinking. Ramifications will be felt in daily lives, economies, governance, supply chains, climate and much more.

Irrationality can lead to emotional fear forcing the unprepared to back down on their best laid plans, illogical fear which can lead to disastrous decisions due to misinformation and mathematical errors which is attached to an irrational number because its decimal expansion never ends.

All said, irrationality comes with opportunities. The answer lies in clean information, expert opinion and professional advice.

This is what the gist of the Business Times article.
