An interview with Kevin Arceneaux, a researcher on the “need for chaos” research project, which found that a surprising number of people, up to 40% polled, seem to have antisocial views about society and agree with statements like “When I think about our political and social institutions, I cannot help thinking 'just let them all burn'?” We talk about what the study entailed, and what the factors could be that help explain this surprising find.
