This makes me feel like a person who thought too much is re-inventing the Hagalean Dialectic, replacing the "Thesis -> Anti-thesis -> Synthesis" with "order -> disorder -> purpose". Or perhaps replacing the long arc of history Their loop about the parent putting away the toys was not right. When a child is young a parent cleans up their child's toys in a similar way they clean their diaper: a thing of order and of safety. As a child grows, the parent teaches the child how to create order in their own life. Chaos is all around us. (Healthy) Civilization and a Stable, Structured Family hold off this Chaos. Order is not Chaos from a different perspective. That is madness. Just because Cause and Effect can be complicated does not mean it is not a real thing. Thinking in terms of simple purposes (a flower's purpose is to bloom) is certainly stoic and can be useful; but that's like saying a beautiful painting is just acrylics on a canvas. I suspect the nature of this thinking does not reflect reality and if you try to base real actions on top of it, it will end in badness.
