(8,267 posts)We humans--with our massive, bicameral brains--seem bent on assigning meaning and order to every teeny tiny experience, and to our very existence. So, we 'discover' the concept of entropy, then eschew it at every turn. Is randomness and disorder so very threatening?!?
Change IS inevitable! We might have learned by now that our economic behaviors are self-destructive, that our over-population is threatening our planet's current ecosystem, and that our extinction event is well underway. Instead, "Kim Kardashian!" "Lady Gaga!!" "Thanksgiving!" "Black Friday!!!" "CHRISTMAS!!!!!!!!"
For those to whom it's not apparent that our species has likely proven itself not viable for the long term, I STILL assert: "DO NOT DESPAIR!" For, what does this stultifying response gain us? Nada, nothing, the big goose egg.
BTW, I have relocated to a very rural area. I have started an organic (French intensive) garden, I am gathering heirloom seeds, and I live VERY near a large creek. I expect to see the next ginormous economic crash, the likes of which we have not yet experienced. I think that the potential reduction in our world population could insure that a small number of us survive. I hope that, if that happens, our survivors learn from our myriad mistakes.
