I do, because it seems like in any nontrivial situation, simply grasping for entropies ignores the point of having power or options, which is to aim at some state of affairs which is more valuable than others.
As I understand it, it’s more a denial of that claim. The point is to maximise entropy, and values are a means to that end.
Obviously, this is counter-intuitive, since orthodoxy has this relationship the other way around: claiming that organisms maximise correlates of their own power—and the entropy they produce is a byproduct. MaxEnt suggests that this perspective may have things backwards.
