I've read further in. Hasn't gotten too edgy yet, perhaps because I was expecting simplistic violence in an absurd package. Hence my Willy T reference. Y'know I could stand to read a bit more. Stories are literally whatever you get out of them. A la McLuhan et al. Mysteries are the genre that have low reread value for me, though I wish it weren't so. Thanks for the blog and kot, as well.

Nigga what? Entropy is the means by which free energy is bound and differentiates. Heat would conglomerate and everything would be on fire otherwise. Literal hell, where molecular momentum doesn't dissipate. Why does everyone think entropy = bad? Kind of pisses me off that the scientific and first meaning has been displaced by 'groady evil'. Now to be fair, you are referring to the effect of entropy in closed systems, which are a true rarity in nature. That does suck, but if you were in a literal closed system, your day was going to be shit no matter the limits of Carnot's engine. Also, negentropy isn't a solidly applicable concept. Yes I know the term has been used to great effect describing reversible chemical systems. But that is a special case, not a generalized one like entropy in thermodynamics.

The disagreement on terminology aside, I like your optimism. Reclamation systems and careful stewardship are all that are needed in a post-scarcity society such as KC posits. There are walking talking meido molecular assemblers, after all. So no real scarcity in the realm of (organic) chemistry is going to happen. There's no need for a thermodynamic failure to accomplish the same end, truth be told.

TL;DR. Fornicate with Gremlins and Hakus.
