Surely, keeping a 1:1 match between our perception of the universe and the universe itself is a kind of order that would be constantly under threat by the inexorable move towards increasing entropy. The lack of match either now or in the future is what you would expect. Chaos is the expect state, order is the exception. Hence you should not expect for that match to exist by default

I read recently an article on HN that basically entropy (and hence increase thereof) is just a statistical model of uncertainty of the things we don't know. As soon as our understanding (of e.g. positions and velocity of individual molecules) increases, that what we call entropy, decreases. At least my understanding.

You can be born with your perception. For example, opposite sexes generally attract and you don’t really have to teach this. We’re born to see things the same, but somehow we work to obstruct this by modding our perception. When one person mods their perception, they become god ( a creator). For example, you aren’t the tallest one in the room but you see yourself as that. You create a reality, and this is something people are addicted to and causes all the harm in the world (someone is manipulating our shared perception with their lie).

Reality is a repository that we must all be good maintainers of. Beware the false PR (delusions).

Which brings me to the the author’s article. Many creatures on earth, past and present, omit or ignore all the little details. They live a lie that is just as intricate as the details. Details matter if the details matter to you. Humans are world builders, and they will reshape the details to see what they want. So will a snake, its own tail can look like its food if necessary.

Where's the proof that humans of opposite sex are intrinsically attracted to each other? I can't see it.

Exactly. I got no clue who taught most of the billions of people this is the way.

There is this thing called culture, don't know if you heard about it.
