spot on
Life is counter-entropic. It seems like this is our purpose then - to create, to integrate, to make sense, to order. To briefly counter, and perhaps even find a cure, to the decay that pushes to consume us all in the end...https://twitter.com/euvieivanova/status/1092739565440372736 …

As far as we know atm, life cannot be exactly counter-entropic. Creating order always requires the creation of at least as much disorder elsewhere. Luckily, the universe is quite big, so we can always get rid of the disorder without it disrupting our bubble.
-
Also, we might discover new theories of physics that permit us to simply delete the disorder. In which case, deleting it will be possible given the right knowledge, and people will be exactly counter-entropic.

Entropy isn't just disorder though, it's unpredictability. The more unpredictability, the higher the possible complexity, which includes both higher order and higher disorder. So from that perspective, life can be seen as order, but it also requires death and disorder to evolve.

Why would entropy be unpredictable though? I think you are forcing the "unmapped territory" frame on this and it doesn't fit.
