We’re seeing entropy,
the gradual reorganization of what we know at the elemental level. Some
of the devout believe the “end times” are at hand. They’ve been saying that for
centuries. They may not be entirely wrong.
Book that cruise to the
Entropics. You may never again see a swaying palm tree, an authentic Hula
dancer or a championship surfer disintegrate like a Chuppa glass at a Jewish
wedding.
But it’s not the will
and whim of some guy in the sky. It’s a fact of physics. Reorganization does
not mean the hand of some deity is teaching us a lesson. It’s just nature doing
what nature does. Things wind down.
A good example: A
campfire -- or, for that matter -- an insurance fire at your virus-bankrupt
restaurant. If left to its own devices, the campfire will burn itself
out. The insurance fire may or may not. It could set the rest of
the block afire. But that’s another story for another day.
Chaos theory teaches us
by using the example of a burning cigarette in an ashtray. It shows a stem of
smoke rising. The stem expands into a cloud and eventually seems to
disappear. But it doesn’t. It blends into the atmosphere. It transforms,
probably back into its component parts. You can’t see it afterward. But it’s
still there.
Is there social
entropy? In a sense yes although it’s a slow process. The ghetto thug and
the redneck thug are examples. We haven’t gotten to the pitchfork, cross
burning and looting phase yet. But it’s not that far off.
It may be that climate
change… an example of something between entropy and chaos… will do us in before
we’re all forced back into the cave.
Please remember that
“The Flintstones” TV show was a parody of prehistoric times (and Jack Gleason)
and not a realistic view of the way things worked at around the time God went
on a tear and created this whole mess in six days.
NOTES FROM ALL OVER:
(SAN LUIS OBISPO CA) --
Tara Reade told her ex-husband of “sexual harassment” from Joe Biden in the
1990s. It’s in their divorce filings. At that point it was personal. And
awful. At this time, it can be translated into this: My feelings about my
treatment by Joe Biden 30 years ago are more important than defeating trump --
and America’s future in November.
(COMMACK NY) -- The
owner of a strip club is suing NY Governor Cuomo because he was forced to
shut down during the pandemic.
(SKY CASTLE CA) -- Elan
Musk is restarting the Tesla factory and risks going to jail. No worries. The
company isn’t all that good about meeting production goals.
(POGO GA) -- “Doctor” Bo
Eustace has performed what he says is the first successful engine transplant on
a Tesla. “I gave that pretty baby a nice a Dodge Slant Six from the 70s
I’d been rebuilding. Runs like a top. Good gas mileage but a little
noisier than the original.”
(NEW YORK) -- The comic
actor Jerry Stiller has died at age 92. He was best known in recent years from
a supporting role on the TV show “Seinfeld.” Earlier, he and his wife Anne
Meara were a star-level comedy act.
TODAY’S QUOTE:
“Stiller and Meara are the
best Mr. and Mrs. Comedy duo since Burns and Allen.” -- George Burns
