Theory of experience and randomness.

Okay so here is the thing, I have always been fascinated by entropy. It is one of the most fundamental properties of this universe, and it always increases. The best thing about it is the fact that it is quite simple to understand, at least the part I understand is simple. Entropy is synonymous to randomness, so we can safely assume that the randomness in this world always increases. So what is randomness after all? Randomness is every new information introduced to this universe, every new thought that enters into your mind and every new action someone takes. When you are in love, your brain gets so random you start getting totally illogical ideas. Ideas like marriage, babies, more babies. In a way, more the babies- more is the crap, and more is the randomness. So what does randomness have to do with our lives? It would suffice to say that as we progress in time- whatever we may be after ten years, one thing is for sure- we would have GAINED experience. So the only thing we know which definitely increases with time (except age and time interval between two consecutive sexual intercourses) is our experience. Experience is like the mental counterpart of the physical entropy. Then what does all of this lead us to? Could we possibly apply all the physical laws of entropy to experience? At least in the broader sense. Maybe just maybe, the equations would lead us to something unprecedented- give it a try?
