It is true that in the history of human thinking the most fruitful developments take place at those points where two different lines of thought meet. These lines may have their roots in different human cultures, different times, different cultural environments, or different religious traditions.

If they meet; if they are at least so much related to each other that a real interaction can take place, then one may hope that new and interesting developments may follow.

TAO 3- Enthaly and Ehtropy

If you overly esteem talented individuals,
people will become overly competitive.
If you overvalue possessions,
people will begin to steal.

Do not display your treasures
or people will become envious.

The Master leads by
emptying people's minds,
filling their bellies,
weakening their ambitions,
and making them become strong.
Preferring simplicity and freedom from desires,
avoiding the pitfalls of knowledge and wrong action.

For those who practice not-doing,
everything will fall into place.

 
In a universe balanced by enthalpy- an increase of order and complexity, and entropy- an increase in disorder, when one creative force occurs, by necessity the other must as well.

Increasing the complexity on Earth, bacteria evolving into humans, has resulted in a more efficient method of processing high quality energy from the sun into low quality heat.

Any attempt to manipulate one results in a balancing manipulation of the other.
