    Entropy can in a very simplistic way be described as chaos/randomness. It come from physics and the flow of energy but has usefulness in other fields as well.

      I know the technical definition, and i don’t see how it is a positive thing in the context that was used. Does op mean dispersion of ideas? Similar to how entropy is dispersed energy?

      Chaos because there are so many separate ideas coming together?

        I think more the randomness aspect of it, comments people requesting accesses, accounts being created all around, etc…
