I’m fifty at the end of 20 Dec 2024, I’m a Seattle homeowner and housekeeper living with my long-time partner Daria and her metamour Gravis (q.v. “Cathode Ray Dude”, Gravis’s YouTube channel), I have three college degrees (a worthless B.S. in Computer Science, a very useful B.A. in Classics, both earned 1999, and a mostly worthless M.S. in Chemistry from 2012), and I’m curious what you all chatter about!

I have no idea whether I can post anything here yet but I’ll try to answer: all other arguments other than the one from basic chemistry are irrelevant. organic life may be easily construed as a controlled combustion of organic fuel, one drawn over a very long span as opposed to happening all at once like an actual fire, and that is a chemical reaction that proceeds in the direction of increasing entropy: all organic foodstuffs are in the condensed phase (liquids and solids) and their combustion processes are gases. Ergo, organic life increases entropy over all. Simple, right? ~Chara
