Quote of the day: "Randomness is very difficult to achieve... organization always merges back if you don't pay attention."- Michel Gondry, The Science of Sleep

     Our brains seek order- organization. But that's not quite right, is it? It goes deeper than our brains.... it's in our DNA.

     Well, that's not quite right either, because it's in the DNA of every animal. Every species, really. Animals, plants, insects, fungi... the very existence of DNA is a testament to its desire to organize. What's more organized than DNA? Nothing.

     Well, that's not quite right, either. It goes further even than our DNA, because our planet itself seeks order. It operates on timetables we cannot understand, because we cannot truly grasp what's happening, even as it happens to us. It's always been this way. It learned this curious behavior from the rest of the solar system. "Alright, order, order. Everyone knows their places," says the sun. "You two in the back: keep flopping back and forth like that and I'll see to it that one of you isn't a planet much longer." I guess we can blame the sun.

     Well, that's not quite right either, because the sun is just a lonely bastard child of the universe, an irresponsible parent determined to seek out an existence always out of its reach. Further and further, curiouser and curiouser, down the rabbit hole it goes, racing away from the randomness it so despises. THE randomness. THE one, utterly random event that changed everything, that created a universe so perfectly random that it can do nothing other than seek the exact opposite, and that opposite is called order- organization.

     Well, that's not quite right, is it?
