I’ve been using the term “a clockwork orange” quite frequently these days.  The term, as popularized by the famous novel and cult classic movie “A Clockwork Orange,” is used to describe how people are not simply clockwork organic entities controlled solely by well-defined deterministic principles. For example, if you give an orange tree the right mixture of controlled environmental conditions, you’ll grow a consistently good, essentially identical orange. But as we all know, humans aren’t nearly that simple.
