It's scary, but it's alright. Everything is finite.

The problem is that people look at rules as the be all end all, but there is a lot which goes behind how the rules are made and enforced.
A lot of people don't take into account the systems created by the rules.
The universe is incomplete, which is why there is some rather than nothing. Some inequality that can't quite get worked out. It's the fly in the ointment. The rounding error that just won't quite go away.
The story so far: In the beginning the Universe was created. This has made a lot of people very angry and been widely regarded as a bad move.

Douglas Adams was brilliant. I really should read more of his work.
As far as I've read, the HGTTG series is his best work, but I can still solidly recommend Dirk Gently
Yeah but chaos is the heart of beauty. Without entropy to define the negative space around order, there would be nothing to admire (and there wouldn’t be any life or people). Everything is messy and complicated and that’s actually kinda wonderful.
Welcome to life.
May I interest you in the philosophy of Absurdism?
"I reject your reality and substitute my own!"
I too was 16 once.
Interesting.
Try to dumb it down a bit bud. I'm interested in your opinion if you could just make less.. Intimidating. The topic deserves respect.
Show it that respect and, continue. Please.
Man made rules tend to be paradoxical, inconsistent, contradictory and poorly designed. What about laws of physics?

Inconvenient. I'd like to remote pilot a robot on Mars, but light speed is agonizingly slow.
Don’t use light then. That’s a limitation of our technology and understanding of physics.
If you find sailing boats agonizingly slow, you gotta upgrade to steam boats. First, you need to develop the appropriate machining technologies so that you can build pistons that seal reasonably well.
They too are paradoxical and inconsistent.
Study QED a bit. It all makes no sense. That's not a complaint, just recognizing that nature is absurdly complex.
