The author analyses thermodynamics in the context of life almost half as deeply as Bataille, G.C. Williams or Odum yet neglects to put the same rigor to dissecting the moral qualifiers they throw around like benevolent, joyful, horror and evil.
Who's to say that degrading exergy is strongly or weakly aligned with good or evil, or that good and evil are opposites? Is degrading exergy entirely orthogonal to good and evil, like the gnostics articulate? These are open philosophical questions that the author would do better to contextualise if this essay were to be more than an incomplete survey.
