Great video, but very wrong to cite Jeremy England. Ilya Prigogine came up with the concept of Dissipative Structures and won the Nobel Prize in Chemistry in 1977 for that work. He also has a couple of pop-sci books on he subject that I found super illuminating. They are a little bit challenging to read, but they're very thorough and Order out of Chaos in particular has a fantastic summary of 400 years of philosophy of science. Highly recommend reading the OG.
