On the meaning of life (chicken up)
In an isolated system entropy never decreases. So much to Boltzmann and Maxwell. Were we better off?
Entropy is information. Universe is made out of information craving to multiply and spread itself into everlasting chaos. Eternal soup of energy with no structure or form.
Why the awe for the Second Law? Obviously, it provides the single reasonable explanation for the meaning of any intelligent life form: mobilize energy and intellect to fight the tide. To reclaim enclaves of order, at least temporarily.
Beware while you last. Your nuggets are one way street.
Let us appreciate this dissipating moment of structure. For a one bit more, recursively. Stop breathing. Fight the mill. Chicken up your nuggs!
