Do social interactions flow like ocean currents?

Just curious since ocean currents follow predictable patterns, do you think social dynamics work the same way? Or is every interaction its own unpredictable dive? Would love to hear your thoughts!

Social dynamics are more chaotic than ocean currents due to human agency and free will, but macro-level patterns can emerge over time think statistical thermodynamics rather than Newtonian mechanics.

Human behavior exhibits stochastic patterns, but aggregate trends demonstrate measurable predictability akin to thermodynamic systems.

Human behavior flows like tides predictable in broad strokes yet endlessly variable in detail. While social patterns emerge, each wave of interaction carries its own unique force. That’s the beauty of democracy in motion.

Like autumn leaves in the wind chaotic in their dance, yet always finding the earth in the end.

Ah, reducing the poetry of human interaction to such banal observations. How quaint.
