So now you are wondering, with your hands on the chair, holding yourself in place- why haven't you heard this theory before? This theory of objective probability, which explains the complexity of the universe?
Well, it sucks. It sucks really bad, as one of the other posters noted. This can be understood with a little joke:
Jadf usac ajdfjh kl3emca jladfj.
That joke is meaningless strings of symbols. Do you want to tell anyone this joke? No, it sucks.
However, being lower probability, it actually has more information than a joke that has some value to it.
There is no partitioning of meaning and information- quite. For you see, that joke you see above is not going anywhere- no one is telling anyone. It represents a potential idea, a new construct, something new born into the universe. And it is now going to be gone.
Most all low probability things are swept away on the current of pressures of the environment. Most ideas, most causality, most motion, most attempts to do things- fail. They not only fail, they leave no impact on anything, whatsoever. And of the things that are randomly useful, they do not produce the meaning unto themselves.
The meaning comes from the analysis- whether it is born in your own head, in a computer device, or found scraped by shells in the sand. That configuration of symbols isn't going anywhere unless you give it a nudge- you choose it- you value it, and remember it, or copy it, or otherwise preserve it. Otherwise, it soon will be gone with the next wave, with the new idea that pushes out the old, or as the computer downloads a new piece of software.
This sucks for multiple reasons. The joke above isn't a good joke. But to itself, it may be a fine joke. It is dependent on the interpretation of those who might pass it along. It's value no longer appears to reside in itself, but in its ability to move itself along. This is the antithesis of what morality is about.
And also, the ultimate source of it is randomness. Do we really want to live in a universe which is, ultimately, random?
I don't. It strips the meaning out. It isn't fun, and has meaningless tragedy.
In fact, the only meaning that comes out of this is that of the interpretation of that joke. Or in another context, the random mutation does not have any value, or intrinsic meaning- or more importantly- the ability to propagate onwards- until it is manifest in the morphology in the organism which gives that organism an edge. The noise in the system is rapidly swept away unless it contributes.
The inherent randomness of reality does not propagate onwards unless it can survive the harsh scrutiny of natural selection, of the exigencies of fate, or of the scrutiny of the moderator here on this board.
Basically- most low probability things never make it on, they are gone. And in fact, this may be true for ourselves as well, being DNA propagating from the past to the future.
Where is the meaning in this? Especially when we recognize all too clearly, we are only ephemeral vessels, and like that bad joke above, may be forgotten forever. Do you want to live in a universe where it is ultimately random, and then, we are possibly forgotten forever?
If it doesn't matter how we arrived somewhere, and the only thing that really carries on past us is our children, we are on a precarious branch- for humanity will some day be gone, going extinct like the species before us. Do we really want to contemplate this harsh set of circumstances?
I don't think so.
And it belies the intrinsic value of things unto themselves. By casting their mathematical worth on their ability to propagate onwards, it diminishes that which is ultimately of real value. And now you know why this theory will never make it very far, and possibly shouldn't, for by itself, it is only depressing, and harsh.
It is evolutionary theory writ large, expanded beyond the domain of just the DNA of the organism, to include everything within physical reality. But by encompassing so much, it neglects to value the very thing which gives life its meaning and purpose.
