The idea that philosophy, the universe and life is 'good' turned on its head

Philosophers must reckon with the meaning of thermodynamics | Aeon Essays

“Reality is evil

Everything eats and is eaten. Everything destroys and is destroyed. It is our moral duty to strike back at the Universe…”

A great essay that uses the law of thermodynamics to prove the oppoiste of old philosphic thought about the nature of reality.

It contends that the universe is not good at all and that the destruction of everything is its purpose and then contradicts itself in the end by attempting to say people should fight against it anyway (even though dissipation and entropy is inevitable)

A great read though…

Nothing is finished.
Nothing is perfect.
Nothing is forever.

Enjoy the moment you’re in as you’ll never have it again. You can’t jump into a river in the same place twice.

I don’t know about things being good but I think it’s a mechanism of survival. If you don’t see a hope of some kind; we’re all dead. As some literature enthusiasts commonly say “most are dead, because they don’t truly live”

I think it would be interesting if space time were expanding in a circle and we just haven’t reached any curvature or it’s undetectable and the universe kept expanding indefinitely like a merry go round.
