whenever there is gradient between [energy] potentials the things would move along it to neutralize the difference - that is the entropy law at work, nothing happens without it. Folding back, reconstitution, renewal - it is all requires expending energy, ie. entropy increase.
> if entropy represents a fundamental part of natural law applicable to social networks, our technology will try to negate and dominate it.
our technology is just a tool of ours. Being live organisms we follow the main principle (stemming from the 2nd law) what the life is built upon - negating and dominating entropy in some small volume of spacetime by using energy obtained by increasing entropy in some other volume of spacetime by even larger amount than the energy extracted and the entropy dominated/negated. Technology just allows to amplify that process.
