>>507612341That's my point. Large/complex systems evolve in a way that tends to increase total entropy, but this promotes divergence. Higher entropy states have higher multiplicity, and thus any kind of equality requires maintaining a low entropy state because the ratio between the number of configurations where everyone is equal and the number of configurations where they aren't always approaches zero as systems get large enough. Convergent evolution requires extreme selective pressures to counteract entropic divergence.
For example imagine flipping 1000 coins. There are only 2 possible configurations where everything is equal. All heads or all tails. There are 2^1000 possible configurations in total. That means the number of unequal configurations is 2^1000 - 2. That's more than the number of atoms in the universe. If you flip 1000 coins your chance of getting equality is 0.000000... to almost a thousand decimal places. You aren't going to get all heads or all tails from random chance, you need to rig the game. There is a notion in which entropy is associated with equality though. In the 1000 coin example, the most likely outcome (by a huge margin) is a configuration with 500 heads and 500 tails. This is equality in a sense, but it's not the same as equality in the sense of
>everyone is the same race>everyone has the same wealthetc. This kind of equality is saying that everyone is equally likely to belong to any race or to belong to any wealth class, not that there is only one race or only one wealth class.
Low entropy limit:
Everyone is the same race.
Everyone is in the same wealth class.
Etc.
High entropy limit:
A continuum of races exist, and you are equally likely to belong to any of them.
A continuum of wealth classes exist, and you are equally likely to belong to any of them.
Etc.
