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 …

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.

Spot on.
The entropy of a closed system tends to disorder
What differentiates life from unorganised matter is that we tend towards order
We are able to do this bc we exchange heat and matter with our external environment
This process is a kind of uncertainty management https://twitter.com/Sam_kuyp/status/1092887100314341378 …
