The push toward totalitarian rule is consistent with a mechanistic-materialistic world view that mistakes a "complex physical system" for a "non-complex" physical system. This mistake results from usage of the intuitive rules of thumb called "heuristics" in selection of the the sets of inferences about the outcomes of the events of the future for a physical system that will be made by a model of this system rather than the principles of reasoning. Under these principles, the induced generalization expresses all of the available information but no more. See the Entropy Minimax Sourcebook by the late theoretical physicist Ronald Christensen for details.
