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).
So if our civilisation reboot, we will do it from the perspective of equal opportunity.
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):
