That isn’t the exact quote, but that was the first thing that came to my mind.
The second thing that came to mind was Norm MacDonald talking about science vs. faith. “Okay - so I get it that faith is just that - faith. But why should I listen to a bunch of scientists when they talk about God? They are never right. You had that one guy, ya know, that figured out the sun revolved around the earth. Then some other guy comes along and say ‘Hey - the earth revolves around the sun!’ They are always figuring out new stuff.”
Part comedy, part truth imho.
“Organizations become stagnant and die with out challenges and strife. Does this happen in nature?”
In a mature forest in the NW you get fir trees and ferns and moss. I’m sure a naturalist can find a lot more, but they are pretty void of deer, elk, and not many small animals either.
Clear cut some large swathes that opens it up to grasses and vegetation the critters can actually eat brings a lot of biodiversity in and makes it grow and thrive.
However, both places serve their purpose and a balance needs to be maintained. I’m a big fan of balance and moderation in all things. I don’t think it would be good for business to be in chaos ALL the time.
About the only thing that thrives on chaos is government and the politicians. Even if they have to create their own crises.
then so much the worse for Maxwell’s equations,

The ones we use today are reformulated by Oliver Heaviside who changed 4 of Maxwell’s field equations into vector equations and discarded the other 196 as abominations. So we are really talking about Heaviside, not Maxwell.
What about the ‘settled science’?

Is that when science floats down to the bottom as dregs?
Like entropy?
If nature abhors a vacuum, does nature abhor order?

Well, look in my garage.
Both are shown to be true.
And one of my corollaries: Flat surfaces are Gravity interrupters.
