I read somewhere that life is more efficient at dissipating energy and faster at increasing entropy than non-living physical/chemical phenomena. Citation needed

- floatrock 2y agoRight, it's less about the purpose of life (which implies a directive force) and more that a characteristic of life is it's an emergent complexity that finds more efficient ways of increasing entropy. It gets a bit blurry when you start to substitute "life" for any "complex cosmological system" though...
