It’s all a matter of scale. One theoretical end for the universe is “heat death” – where entropy will reach a maximum. If that’s the case, then according to Shannon’s definition of information (as a measurable reduction in entropy), then the amount of information must be tending towards zero. So, yes, information is being lost.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Not sure why T raised the middle class in the context of access to information? Early communists strongly believed in literacy and giving information to the proletariat. To “destroy privileged right to knowledge\u201d.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Now the power of the state has but one task: to give the people, as quickly as possible, the greatest possible amount of knowledge, to cope with the gigantic role which the Revolution has prepared for the people \u2013 to destroy the privileged right to knowledge, allowed before to only a small part of society \u2026\u201d<\/p>
