In chemistry we call it "entropy." All matter is ordered, and that order requires energy. But, matter also want's to be in it's simplest state, which requires less energy. Which is why gasoline burns, plants decompose, and hot items cool to room temperature.
Capitalism requires that people harness energy and create order out of the chaos. "Creative destruction," I believe it's called. Corporations that are monolithic dinosaurs will fail, their capital and resources spread to others who will use those building blocks, and through massive amounts of energy, create new companies.
And leftists ask why "simple" is bad? Because if we were stuck with the simple chemical compounds, we wouldn't have things like computers. Or pencils. Or that much-vaunted "health care" that leftist parasites want others to pay for.
Keep up the great work, Captain!
