Prigogine (1977 Nobel prize winner) in simple terms:
Classical science treated time as reversible, like a movie you can play backward. If you know everything about the present, you can perfectly predict the past and future. The universe is a giant machine.
Prigogine showed this is wrong for real life. Time only goes forward. In living systems (people, nature, societies), disorder and instability don’t just create chaos — they can create new forms of order and complexity.
Our entire civilization was built on the old reversible-time idea. We treat everything like a machine that can be controlled, calculated, optimized, and fixed. Nature, people, and societies are managed as if they should stay stable and predictable.
This is harmful because real systems don’t work that way. Forcing them into rigid control makes them brittle. It damages nature, creates alienation, and suppresses the natural ability of people and societies to adapt and grow through change.
In short: we built a civilization on a false picture of time, and that false picture keeps us trying to control what needs freedom to evolve.
Most rapes are by men. That's true. But only a tiny % of men are rapists. Painting all men as dangerous is a hasty generalization and guilt by association. Judge individuals by their behavior, not collective stats. Blanket distrust of half the population isn't logic—it's prejudice.
@Sefray1@___TheGOOdWitch I wouldn't classify them as religious teachers as religion requires an institution. Jesus wasn't a Christian for example, ans often comes with dogma. Religion was created around these figures, often doing a great disservice to their actual message.
@Eimaeus@God_Questioner 1977 Nobel prize winner in chemistry would disagree. But maybe your intellect far exceeds Prigogine ? You must be a prodigy of sorts. I encourage you send your finds to the Nobel committee and show the world how brilliant you are. Or maybe you can look up the word humility.
@Ernest1588761 You cannot grow without freewill. That means bad things will happen,but with enough grace and humility you will be rewarded ten fold. Or you can be spiteful and miserable.
