Instance Specification Purpose, Ultimate - Supreme Law (Pinker)
"In 1915, the physicist Arthur Eddington wrote: 'The law that entropy always increases holds, I think, the supreme position among the laws of nature.' Why the awe for the Second Law? I believe that it defines the ultimate purpose of life, mind and striving: to deploy energy and information to fight back the tide of entropy and carve out refuges of beneficial order." (Why Things Fall Apart, WSJ 12/31/16)
