You nailed it. Anyone who thinks entropy only applies to physics needs to take a look at societies. Societies as a whole tend to fail eventually. Why? People stop working for the betterment of society and start working for the betterment of their personal lifestyle, ignoring the needs of everyone around them. Pirsig called it "this hyped-up, fuck-you, supermodern, ego style of life that thinks it owns this country."
That pretty much sums us up in a nutshell. It was written back in the 70's and is more true now than it was then.
