Some Notes on The Information: Thinking Generates Entropy
Categorizing is a way of controlling entropy. In earlier posts, I talked about human reluctance to tolerate ambiguity. Is ambiguity just another word for chaos? And the more we push away ambiguity the more we are hoping to organize our world, to make sense of the chaos (the entropy). As long as we are continuing to struggle we are still alive. According to Schrodinger, it is when an organism no longer resists entropy that it is dead.
