Full Title or Meme

When things seem to be going in some well thought-out plan.

Context

is like beauty, it appears to be in the eye of the beholder.

Reversibility

The fact is that human kink evolved to take advantage of the flow of energy and matter that is available to us in our tiny little backwater of the whole wide universe. For us then order is the ecosystem where we were bred and the flow of energy that's available to us, nearly all of which comes from the apparently inexhaustible flow of photons from the sun and the collection of elements from prior suns. Into this ecosystem the idea of order an entropy has meaning. Other micro ecosystems might have very different concepts of order and the flow of time. And so entropy calculations might yield very different results.

Perhaps a more advanced civilization will have a better plan
