Excellent question. I can't add much to it, but I often think there are people are barely sentient.. are they merely agents of chaos in this wicked equation.

Sentient? More like sen-****.

It wasn't sentient at the beginning. It only developed sentience as the universe evolved and became more complex, allowing feedback loops and positive reinforcement. Just like how the brain works. In fact it's the exact same thing. We are the universe, the same atoms that were there at the beginning, but now these atoms can think. Unfortunately the process of getting here was not a conscious one and it requires energy consumption (food) to counteract the normal entropic forces driving the universe toward disorder, and that is why we poop.
