About this listen
Entropy is a measurement of randomness, or chaos. Since everything in the universe is composed of random energy, entropy is in everything, rattling stuff apart. Fortunately, other forces--gravity, atomic forces, love--work against entropy to keep things together. But the evidence is clear--if constructed items are shaken for a long enough time, they will slowly crumble apart. Even mountains are torn apart over long time periods due to entropy. Over enough time, nothing is stable.
The same forces shaking the universe, shake human societies, and human relations. Divisions take place over long time periods, so the effects of entropy are invisible to short-live humans. When effects are finally noticed, humans usually blame each other. Blaming makes the situation far worse, and keeps humans from working together to find solutions. While terrible events unfold over long time periods, human reason is pushed to the sidelines, powerless to act.
Things go wrrrong. And we have no idea why. This book explores the long term divisions in human societies--including language, capital, and religion--caused over long time periods by the invisible forces of entropy.
Things go wrrrong again and agaion. And we have no idea why.
