Thermodynamic footprints

[CRH]

5. I think we agree more than we disagree, ...

I agree with the 'thermdynamic process, but not as an excuse for behavior. As to not being able to fight Mother nature. Nature is honestly represented in the petri dish. Eat, consume energy, reproduce, shit, and die from overcrowding, ambient degradation and lack of sustenance. On an animal level, eat, reproduce, over crowd, starve or migrate or evolve. Humans are only special because exercising maximum energy is a choice.

Then there is the 'we are special rap'. Well, we are, in comparison to the rest of nature's ability to manipulate environment and circumstance. We must live within the laws of thermodynamics by which nature is define and determine consequence, because those laws are not going to change because we are special. It is opposite, because we are special, we can confine ourselves within limitations and not eat the last of the food in the petri dish or reproduce until the resources dictate dieoff. Our motivation is not confined only to instinct or genetic coding but rather is enhanced with 'intelligence'. To say humans could not have avoided the crisis they face, we were compelled by entropy; denies we can determine boundaries and live within.

As far as teleological explanations and 'special' interpretations, how about confining the universe to machinations of human perception of absolute scientific theories, that determine intelligent life has no destiny beyond limitations of perceived genetic coding. Note in the universe there is nothing confining intelligent life to human concepts, except our perceptions.
