- thereddaikon 5y agoEntropy isn't just a concept in physics but equally applies to institutions. Early on things work well because the mission isn't muddied and people are idealistic. Things can work well for a time with reforms here and there but eventually the rot grows and brings it down. This is in part why no empire was ever permanent. Sometimes its just better to do a reset with the lessons learned and start off just a little bit better.
