What in 2014 I told my own Stanford University Business Analytics Class that Caused my P.hD.-ed Sociology Professor to Set Himself Into Shock and Outrage and STONE SILENCE AND PARALYSIS!
(What my associated NASA Hard Rocket Scientists told me fifteen (15) years ago.)
There is not Society, but outright NONLINEAR ENTROPY (The Second Law of Thermodynamics as it is understood in optimal Classic Physics). To cope with this hard indisputable truth, simple linear human mind will never suffice UNLESS SAID MIND IS FORCEFULLY ANTINATURALLY MARSHALED INTO MULTIFARIOUS COLOSSALLY NONLINEAR ALGORITHMIC COUNTERINTUITIVENESS.
