re: “The universe bets on disorder. Imagine, for example, dropping a thimbleful of red dye into a swimming pool. All of those dye molecules ... But there are uncountable billions of permutations ... If the universe chooses from all the possible states at random, you can bet that it’s going to end up with one of the vast set of disordered possibilities.”
And yet - nature DOES organize.
I give you 1) Animal life and 2) storm structures (notably, tornadic thunderstorms and hurricanes).

Both examples aren’t really valid because they don’t occur in a closed system.
But, it is true that nature can self-organize to some degree, but always you will see it trending towards disorganization in the larger scale. For example, the galaxy may look pretty organized, like a storm system, but if you zoom out to look at the whole visible universe, you won’t see a similar symmetrical, organized structure.
