Different types of activity generate more or less of this kind of entropy. [[Conference call]]s — especially [[all-hands conference call]]s — generate dangerously high levels. Add financial reporting folk seeking legal opinions on matters of [[balance sheet]] treatment, allow [[tax lawyer|tax lawyers]] to converse directly with anyone else on this topic and [[infinite bafflement]] is assured. | Different types of activity generate more or less of this kind of entropy.

[[Confusion entropy]] can be cured with [[Schwarzschild radius of alcohol consumption|alcohol]], but there is a curious [[paradox]], as overdoing the sauce (which, on a [[conference call]], can be tremendously tempting) can itself lead to total collapse through the [[inebriation event horizon]] into a black hole of soul-crushing despair. | [[Confusion entropy]] can be cured with [[Schwarzschild radius of alcohol consumption|alcohol]], but there is a curious [[paradox]], as overdoing the sauce (which, on a [[conference call]], can be tremendously tempting) can itself lead to total collapse through the [[inebriation event horizon]] into a black hole of soul-crushing despair. | ||
