My take is that: We are one expression of one idea rendered into myriad forms trying to make complex patterns simple. Thus monolithic conspiracies and manichean aliens being traded aborted fetal tissue to make the Illuminati gods on earth with this secret haggling. (sarcasm alert)
We share common elements, but add tequilla and an unequal amount of sex partners and we'll see how united we are.
Simplicity just reflects the inability to accept the complex expressions and subtleties of life.
the first rule of life: Simple forms are digested by more complex forms. Welcome to the digestive system of the universe, entropy.
Rule 2; Evolve or be made pooh.
Quoting: Dionysian Fullaflatus Entropy.....
States that matter can neither be created nor destroyed.....
The principle of entropy says that the universe( potential radiation), becomes less and less usable as it is used over and over again in its creation of kinetic radiation....
Eventually there will be no more energy available, leaving one thing....... A uniform , static free universe

noun
1.
Thermodynamics .
a.
(on a macroscopic scale) a function of thermodynamic variables, as temperature, pressure, or composition, that is a measure of the energy that is not available for work during a thermodynamic process. A closed system evolves toward a state of maximum entropy.
b.
(in statistical mechanics) a measure of the randomness of the microscopic constituents of a thermodynamic system. Symbol: S
2.
(in data transmission and information theory) a measure of the loss of information in a transmitted signal or message.
3.
(in cosmology) a hypothetical tendency for the universe to attain a state of maximum homogeneity in which all matter is at a uniform temperature (heat death).
4.
a doctrine of inevitable social decline and degeneration.
We are not one. We may be coalesced into one by the attrition of choice. It's also the theory of the last conciousness standing.
Forms most likely to conserve energy will prosper. Throws a whole new light on the meek concept; and foremost understand it.
Apologies, quit coffee today.
You can also infer the theory of godhead into this. The most suited shall rule the universe. The ironic part is they'll be static and all alone.
