asks
is the fact that nothing is stable itself stable?
Isn't entropy in itself a pattern?
I mean, knowing much of what goes on is random, we can make assumptions based on that.
For instance, we would assume that if we roll dice 300 times, they will not all be the same number.

says
it is possible for entropy to decrease in a closed system (though *insanely* unlikely)
Oh it could happen, but we can assume it won't.
Haha, I meant that we COULD roll 300 sixes in a row, but we work on the assumption that we won't.
We use the pattern of randomness to predict things.
Exactly. But imagine how fucked everything would get if all of a sudden things started to happen in patterns?
We wouldn't be able to function then either.
That's true. It would really be boring if we knew how everything worked...
the evil of intelligence?
