The improvements we have made and still need to make regarding civil rights, diversity, and inclusion; health, child and elder care; the environment; trade; and global cooperation and peace are under the aegis of the innate force that compels us forward to do the right thing, even in the face of internal and external opposing forces. I think the idea of entropy could be applied to the psychological universe as well. We might call it mindlessness or the “no-thinking” force within all human beings. In the absence of the mental energy required to keep things ordered and moving, a kind of mental laziness can overtake us. We “lose our minds.” We have seen this a lot lately. When we stop caring about the facts and the truth, when we let someone else think for us, when we give over to a mob mentality, psychological entropy is at play.
