Entropianism: How an Entrepreneur Created a Religion to Accelerate the Production of Chaos

- It all started with the questions we all asked ourselves: Why are we here? What is the purpose of life? Religions and philosophies offer many answers: serving God and achieving salvation, following moral principles, seeking enlightenment, or leaving a legacy and contributing to societal development. However, many of these answers rely on beliefs in the supernatural or abstract concepts, leaving atheists and scientifically minded individuals dissatisfied.
I haven't studied every religion, but none provided a scientifically grounded answer to the question of life's purpose. The lack of an alternative pushed me to create my own doctrine.

Initially, the idea of creating a religion felt unusual, even to me. I discussed it with friends, brought it up in casual conversations, delved into physics, biology, thermodynamics, and studied Leonid Martyushev’s works on entropy. These explorations strengthened my confidence in the concept.
Even now, as I present my ideas here, they are far from final. Clarity often comes through explaining concepts to others. That’s why it’s essential to engage with people who truly understand these topics, so they can critique, propose alternatives, and help develop the ideas further.

- Because religion doesn’t just describe phenomena; it gives people a purpose, shapes worldviews, and unites them.
Entropianism is based on physicalism—the belief that everything is physical or derived from the physical. There is no mysticism, gods, or dogmas rooted in faith. We rely on evidence and data, not blind acceptance.
Our doctrine is, first and foremost, a school where people grasp its principles through explanations and education. To understand the concept, a person needs a certain level of knowledge.
Science, for me, feels like a closed club that requires an invitation. Through public engagement, publishing materials, and building connections with scientists, I hope to gain entry. Recently, I even published my first academic paper on a reputable preprint website.

- To me, a prophet is a kind of spiritual leader, essential in the early stages of building a movement. I don’t aim to be the only one. If, at some point, it becomes clear that someone else should take the lead, I’m ready to step aside. The important thing is for the movement to thrive and evolve, and my role can adapt as needed.
I don’t seek to maintain control of the church solely in my hands. This is more about spiritual authority. Many associate churches with power and finances. I envision a decentralized networked church without bureaucracy. Perhaps physical locations will emerge if convenient, but for now, the focus is on an online format.
Living in Vietnam, I’ve seen how my Buddhist wife visits temples. The environment is welcoming—you enter, a monk greets you, invites you to sit, pours tea, and you begin a conversation. Around temples, people gather by shared interests and communicate regularly. Such a community goes beyond everyday routines. It offers spiritual mentorship and support, which genuinely helps people.
I’ve always wanted to create a space where people could share ideas, discuss problems, and find support. This ties back to the original meaning of the word “church” as a “community.”

- My journey is long, but I believe it’s worth it. Life isn’t just about finding answers—it’s about creating new meanings. Accelerating entropy is a proactive model where we build systems that influence the world. At some point, individuals realize they can’t produce as much entropy as collective systems can. This realization drives them to contribute to creating such systems—businesses, governments, churches, or civilizations as a whole.
I believe Entropianism will form the foundation for new business models and entire economic sectors, particularly in areas like space energy or ecological projects.
