@fmf saidImagine a thread at RHP about anything, anything at all. For example, entropy. Eventually the clowns show up and deflect the thread into some other topic. Then more clowns show up and start calling each other names, like „moron“ or „troll“ or „literalist“ or „home-schooled“.
See if you can do it.
And then tell us about it.
That‘s exactly how I visualize entropy in action.
@moonbus saidNice example and not a lot of imagination required.

@moonbus saidShow me a thread that stayed on topic and it will be a rare one indeed.

@the-gravedigger saidIn the above example order may be restored.
Two players sit down at a computer screen to play a game of chess. They know the object of the game but not how the pieces move. There is a very large cash prize for the winner. The computer will not allow illegal moves.
The players eventually learn the moves including castling and en passant.
Similar to the proverbial monkeys who when give a pen and paper and enough time write out the entire works of Shakespeare.

@the-gravedigger saidExcept that the humans will someday understand what they are doing, whereas the monkeys never will.
