order is a tool used by chaos, to create more chaos. what people are mistaking for order is the local, homeostatic equilibrium that people who are exposed to nothing else become inured to. in an open system there form momentary pockets of seeming stability, even extropy but these do not last. most people wouldn't be able, in a thousand years, to comprehend the howling maelstrom just outside of their tailored perception.

Indeed "local" is the right word here. It will be much easier to come to the realisation of chaos if we were standing further away from the universe.
we'd get a good sense of chaos if we were standing in the middle of the sun, or in the accretion disc of a black hole, or at the shock front of a supernova. provided we could survive long enough to witness it.

Just the sheer size perspective would make the earth look like a grain of sand and that is where the black hole would look ordely and the earth disorderly :)
