A non-isolated system is permitted to decrease its local entropy as long as there are larger offsets elsewhere.
noted.
if you lie completely still, the cost of living is around 1500 kilocalories per day – the amount of energy it would take to heat eighty litres of water from tap temperature to that of a scalding bath. Most is spent on homeostasis, the processes by which our bodies stay more or less exactly as they are. Homeostasis is sometimes used as a way of defining life itself: living beings can maintain steady internal states despite changeable external conditions.
1500 calories a day for lying perfectly still?! that's an outrage.

Nut en noodzaak van Cannabisolie
Patiënten met lichamelijke en psychische klachten zeggen baat te hebben bij Cannabisolie, dat een pijnremmende werking heeft.

Oliver Bateman’s 12 Rules for Life: The Second Half
The rest of what you need to know to ensure you’re always here for it, ready to do the work. || Oliver Bateman
Rule #8—Watch events unfold in your life as if you’re your own ghost: Here’s a good one, especially if you’re tired of those boring premium TV shows starring half-pretty minor league actors still awaiting their call to appear in a superhero movie franchise. If you’re looking for a gritty, true-to-life show that ambles along in a directionless manner, look no further than your own miserable existence. If you watch the day’s banalities unfold like a Flannery O’Connor or Donald Barthelme story, even the most inane story becomes infused with the sublime.

Thomas Piketty Thinks America Is Primed for Wealth Redistribution - The New York Times.pdf
All wealth is collective by nature in the sense that it relies on the work of hundreds, thousands, millions of engineers, technicians, the accumulation of knowledge. Then, private property is a social construction that we invent in order to organize economic and social relations. It’s a very useful social invention as long as you keep under control how much you can accumulate, how much power you can concentrate, etc. But none of these assets are their assets. They are a product of a collective process. No one invented anything by himself or herself.
