> we're all fighting against entropy, which is a hard fight to win, but there are long and fascinating stalemates ahead Lately, I think of entropy as a friend more than a foe. all of the examples of privatization of technology he brought up, I think will eventually fall down due to the entropy. All these privatizations are attempt at optimization (hence the value extracted). But it is not free at all - optimization means specialization, and specialization means decreased flexibility and decreased chances of persevere the tendency of the world to digest systems and spit out chaos.
