What you say fits nicely in our civilisation's theory and models but actually Nature is negentropic, it shares perfectly. So if our civilisation reboot, we will do it from the perspective of equal opportunity. (see Dan Winter research on negentropy).

That’s an excellent discussion point to raise. It’s quite interesting to note that the Gaussian (aka normal) distribution is the only distribution which maximizes entropy. Negentropy is the distance of a distribution from the Gaussian distribution.
To say that living things are more ordered than maximally uncertain, is not a refutation that nature seeks maximum entropy overall. For example the extinction of species forgets ordered information and imports entropy anew into any perspective on nature. I think you’re conflating nature as universal entity and a given state of the universe snapshot from any given perspective (which of course is relativistic and thus not a totally ordered perspective of nature).
I don’t see how that follows and I don’t have time to dig. Cite something please.
Your making great points especially if you consider the relativistic universe.
Being only a bright generalist, I sadly cannot answer properly to this discussion. Nevertheless, from all the "alternative" / "forbidden" knowledge acquired across many different fields in the last four years, I have a very strong gut feeling that "nature DOES NOT seek maximum entropy overall".
Now, If you do not have time, forget it, information is so disparate :/ . But I can share some good links in PM somewhere to avoid most of disinformation.
For some unknown reason I just spewed (archived) a blown fuse on some random person’s Medium blog (she’s like the mayor of Seattle or something similarly unimportant):
