High Entropy State Only Boring To Bounded Observer
The claim that the universe is heading toward a boring high-entropy state with no structure is an artifact of being a computationally bounded observer; a more capable observer might perceive the same gas-in-equilibrium state as amazingly complex microscopic structure, so 'high entropy' reflects the observer's inability to extract structure rather than an objective absence of it.

“to another kind of observer they might say, but look at all those little details about what's happening, this is the most amazing complex structure that you can imagine.”
