High Entropy (also known as "This is Shit")
Artists have an unorthodox view of the world they see and feel the organic, apart from the architectural mainstream. The architects, whose lives of formula and structure are an easy fit for lifes routines, flow past like a synthetic river. But the scope of the organist finds only increasing entropy in a state of unpredictable chaos.
Eventually this chaos becomes as comfortable as the background humming of a quiet fan, and temporary peace is found in solitude. But no relations can be made they distract from the white noise and remind the philosopher of the structured life that continuously lies out of reach. The others become aliens foreigners who have aberrated from the speckled originality of the disorganized world, and live forever in an arranged peace. This serenity is a would be luxury to the unwilling followers of Randomism eluding them, and beckoning them softly from their dreary slumbers to their deaths.
The catharsis can be found in their writings an attempt to perpetuate their souls to be a beacon to the rest who have become blinded by the fog of artificial human harmony.
(note: I ended it abruptly because I ran out of shit to say...HEY I should have titled it "This is Shit"....hmmm, can't decide. The stuff I said here is so fucking obvious...oh well, what it lacks in originality, it makes up for with synonyms.)

The true artist finds one's own way through life. There is no path paved for each of us unless we bow down to authority and take it. A state of increased entropy is all but a guarantee of where humanity is going. We rely on fundamental physical law like anything else. When the conscious mind tries to change this natural process into something definable and concrete, shit hits the fan :). When we come together and recognize this, and accept one another, we have a feeling of understanding and individual responsibility. Looking to others for answers causes the true chaos of the universe, no matter how hard the government will try pushing in the other direction.
gov't: "Look at the silly rabbit!!"
us: "Uh, that's not a rabbit, and why am I looking at it when the world is being destroyed out of ego and materialism?"
gov't: "..................YOU ARE A DETRIMENT TO SOCIETY!!!"
I have no idea if that had much of anything to do with what you were saying, I'm pretty dazed and tired, but that's just the feeling I got from reading it :) Quite interesting...

Actually, entropy only increases in a fixed system. In our biosphere, Earth, we receive energy via sunlight, which accounts for a decrease in entropy giving rise to evolution and technological improvements. However, the over-use of fossil fuels obviously changes this.
I would like to believe in Extropy, which the dictionary terms as this:
"Definition: the theory that cultural and technological development will expand indefinitely and in an orderly progressive manner throughout the universe, the tendency of systems to grow more organized; also written Extropy"
I don't really understand Thermodynamics but I think that there must be more to it than just structure dissolving into chaos. Otherwise, how would galaxies and solar systems, and planets and life have evolved?
Fascinating topic. :shock: :)
