...will not be distributed evenly. Advanced Murphology. Stems from natural law that prevents true socialism.

@Ahhhhhz,
How does "natural law" prevent "true" (as opposed to half-true or perhaps false) socialism? I am sure there is some sort of argument here about something, but I seem to be missing the point.

@Ahhhhhz,
I meant "true" as representing wholly even distribution. With humans, as long as there is the closely held notion of "mine," even distributions are never possible. With stuff hitting the fan, there is always the opposite-- "not mine" and variable ducking strategies when stuff flys through the air in unpredictable directions.

The original paraphrase comes from a book The Complete Murphy's Law, which is entirely a tongue-in-cheek collection of quips. Not deep reading at first blush, nor hugely argumentative, but nonetheless thought-provoking in parts.

LOL! This reminds me of a quote from Anchorman: The Legend of Ron Burgundy;

Quote:

Brian Fantana: Sex Panther by Odeon. This stuff is illegal in 9 countries. It's made with bits of real panther, so you know it's good.
Ron Burgundy: It's quite pungent. [cringes] It's a formidable scent; it stings the nostrils in a good way.
Brian Fantana: [daubing the cologne on his neck] Yup.
Ron Burgundy: Brian, I'm gonna be honest with you, that smells like pure gasoline.
Brian Fantana: They've done studies, you know. They say 60% of the time, it works every time.
Ron Burgundy: That doesn't make any sense.
some x, will inevitably equilibrate. Marx and entropy? Monkey's and Shakespeare?

So, arguably, I could say that even in the case of the greediest people in the world coveting everything imaginable, the point that things continue to propagate in disorder over time is not necessarily true, because that is in its own way a path towards equilibrium over an even greater amount of time.
