re: #265 Obdicut

I’d just like to note that a friend of mine would disagree with this part:

Since he thinks you can derive ethical behavior from thermodynamics. It’s a bit of a stretch, to me.

But very nice post.

Thanks for the compliment!

As to the ethics of Thermodynamics, since thermo is basically a very elaborate mathematical way to say that everything eventually and always breaks down and dies, I have a hard time seeing how any system other than abject nihilism could come of it.

Ahhh screw it, I’ll just say what first came to mind, the idea of invoking ethical systems from physical theories is as pleasant to me as hammering a nail into my penis.
