The excellence and longevity of any species and, thus, of humanity is a direct result of the adaptability to the decline of available energy, referred to as nature’s entropy.
The best explanation of entropy comes from renowned physicist and Nobel Prize winner, the late Richard Feynman, whose lectures can be found on YouTube. I provide a more detailed rendition of today’s practical relevance in Entropy for Dummies.
The effects of entropy are not just apparent in the future. They are here today. Aging is a consequence of entropy. Climate change is a consequence of entropy. All change is a consequence of entropy, exhibiting itself most prominently when the congruent amplitudes of entropy amplify within the scope of our sensory capabilities.
I often refer to entropy because it dramatically impacts our lives. The existence of entropy invalidates the attempted reinvention of finance with newly popular finance programs of ESG, PRI, and the like, hinging on sustainability and unsupported by evolutionary truth. Nothing in the universe is sustainable.
Hence, our adaptability to nature’s entropy must start now. So we can point the vector of human adaptability in a direction compatible with nature and combat the consequence of entropy early, especially since the vector of renewal required to adapt to nature’s entropy points in a different direction than the vector of sustainability.
Conflict denied is conflict multiplied, and the longer we keep selling ourselves the lies of sustainability, the more difficult our adaptations to nature’s rule will become.
