Just as the constant increase of entropy is the basic law of the universe, so it is the basic law of life to be ever more highly structured and to struggle against entropy.
Sentiment: POSITIVE
I think you should always bear in mind that entropy is not on your side.
The fact that you can remember yesterday but not tomorrow is because of entropy. The fact that you're always born young and then you grow older, and not the other way around like Benjamin Button - it's all because of entropy. So I think that entropy is underappreciated as something that has a crucial role in how we go through life.
There is more to life than increasing its speed.
The laws of nature are structured so that we grow and change, and get to experience the full spectrum of biological existence.
So much of life, it seems to me, is determined by pure randomness.
We could not, for example, arrive at a principle like that of entropy without introducing some additional principle, such as randomness, to this topography.
Nothing in life is certain except death, taxes and the second law of thermodynamics.
The minute those two little particles inside a woman's womb have joined together, billions of decisions have been made. A thing like that has to come from entropy.
The essence of life is statistical improbability on a colossal scale.
Only entropy comes easy.
