The relationship between love and hatred is evident in Greek epic and myth, Greek philosophy, and in Jungian theory. This article examines the cement of hatred in light of the 2016 election of Donald Trump. It briefly discusses Andrew Samuel’s “action ethos” as a Jungian political response; Jung’s thoughts on emotion, conflict, and consciousness as they pertain to individuation; and the notion of the cultural complex developed by Singer and Kimbles. This framework is deepened with a short meditation on mythic Chaos and its close relationship with Eros as a generative, formative, and connecting principle. The last half of the article reaches across a disciplinary boundary to employ three principles of complexity science to understand Trump’s election and the world it has shaped: unpredictability, bifurcation, and autopoeisis. How might complexity theory help us to think differently about the eros of hatred in chaotic times, and what political actions might these thoughts inspire?

“仇恨是巨大的水泥”:混乱时代的复杂性科学与政治意识

爱与恨之间的关系在希腊史诗和神话、希腊哲学和荣格理论中很明显。本文根据唐纳德·特朗普 2016 年的选举研究了仇恨的水泥。它简要讨论了安德鲁·塞缪尔作为荣格政治回应的“行动精神”;荣格关于情感、冲突和意识的思想,因为它们与个体化有关;以及 Singer 和 Kimbles 提出的文化综合体的概念。这个框架通过对神话混沌及其与作为生成、形成和连接原则的爱神的密切关系的简短冥想而得到深化。文章的最后一半涉及纪律边界,以雇用三个复杂性科学原则来了解特朗普的选举和塑造世界:不可预测性,分叉和自动缺陷。
