@[[59517][user]] Honestly both perspectives can be seen as true, coincidentia oppositorum.

As hermeticists often say, the universe is rife with paradox. but hermetics also believe that the universe is conscious, and the meme can be considered hermetic in trying to convey that we are part of the universes evolution, and it expanding its own consiousness, we are highly vessels for which the universe can concentrate consiousness and observe itself, our mere existance, and that of life, tends to defy the laws of thermodynamics that says entropy within systems increase over time(meaning more disorder, less energy). If you believe the laws of thermodynamics are valid, we are indeed thermodynamic miracles. you could go as far as to postulate that life, and its evolution, shows that the universe is actually geared towards creation and higher complexity, not random disorder as the laws governing entropy would tell you
