Life is just one big fight against entropy

[–] SmoothOperator@lemmy.world 52 points 1 month ago (3 children)

Local entropy, that is. At a global scale, life increases entropy.

[–] Onyxonblack@lemm.ee 13 points 1 month ago (2 children)

Yep, and life basically is entropy; or entropy causes life, the great mixing!

[–] Frozengyro@lemmy.world 15 points 1 month ago

Wait, it's all entropy?

Always has been 👨‍🚀🔫👨‍🚀

Bugs and trash are bad entropy, food and people are good entropy. Until people look like bugs and trash, then you do fascism.

Life is an orderly system of producing disorder

At a global scale, everything increases entropy

[–] SmoothOperator@lemmy.world 1 points 1 month ago

Well, nothing increases it, but aren't there contexts where it is unchanged? Vacuum and single isolated particles don't increase entropy I suppose.
