I guess you could say I'm a fan of an entropy-driven life.
The concept of entropy for anybody not familiar with it, is that everything in the universe will tend to a disordered state over time, and that any system with a high amount of order is more than likely going to turn into chaos soon. Basically-- order is fragile and unlikely.
An example is a pyramid stack of crystal wine glasses. The system is highly ordered... it takes only a small amount of energy input before the system reaches a state of high entropy (in the form of shattered glass on the floor). Also, we would never expect broken glass to fall into the shape of stacked wine glasses; entropy is a one way street.
In fact, on of the bleakest potential fates of the universe what's known as the "heat death", in which the universe enters state of maximum entry... basically perfectly distributed heat in all space. With no perturbations, there is no potential for information or information processing, so no life of any form. But you'd have to wait around for another 1040 years... when all protons will have decayed and all that's left in the universe is black holes.
Anyway-- I say I'm a fan because... order is boring. I also have the 10-year-old-kid tendency of doing my best to help the universe out by adding my own entropy to things. For instance:
I like to knock over, spill, break, destroy, and generally mess up lots of things. I never really grew out of that I guess?
But also-- order is boring in regards to people. I like to stir up people's ideas and long-held ideals by challenging them to think about why they think certain things. I don't like to persuade people to change their minds as much as I like to just poke around their brains a bit.
I also enjoy saying things in conversations purposefully to get people rilled up. All in good fun though... nothing that will deeply offend anybody (usually), but just enough to set about a chain of events that will lead to a slightly more interesting outcome than if I had stuck to the norm.
Why? Because order is boring. So do your part in helping the universe along its destined path and add some entropy to your life!
To be honest, the only reason I wrote this post was because the first sentence randomly popped into my head today... and though it sounds a little stupid, I felt compelled to try and come up with something to say about it.
Entropy is inevitable.
I'm a dork for saying Yahtzee! or that I was able to save a couple of bucks to spend on more important things like SUMMER TIME FUN?! yeah, think about THAT.
