You said yourself you are selective, on which humans you choose to quote. That is an admission of confirmation bias, so thanks for that.
Thanks also for the refs and review of the works of Boulding. His work looks in many ways similar to mine.
But he was an economist rather than physicist or Engineer, so his understanding of entropic systems might have been lacking.
I would say it had to have been, to try to use thermodynamics as an argument that all we do, all consumption is and has to be destructive.
There is a get-out clause from the second law, and it's what all nature does, to reverse entropy.
It is interesting that there appears to be a concerted effort to try to get us to forget that.
Eathan Seagal who writes in Medium as somewhat a scientific authority, even acknowledged this, in an article addressing the subject, acknowledging that many modern students of thermodynamics had already been taught this misconception, that entropy increase is irreversible, leaving the student to conclude life doesn't or can't reduce entropy, it has to always increase it.
When actually, if we examine thermodynamics itself as a mathematical system from first principles, we see there has to be a get-out clause, otherwise there would be no life. Life would not exist. So we should conclude that the purpose of life is to decrease entropy, and it does it by using energy from outside the system of interest, in a thermodynamic sense.
The irony is that Boulding himself at one point acknowledges this, by saying nature built up energy reserves in the form of fossil fuels, but then goes on to contradict himself by claiming there is no such thing as "Good", or beneficial consumption (we are left to deduce he has to include energy, in what is consumed).
I've gone through many practical examples with you that show this is not the case but you prefer not to quote me on any of that :)
This wouldn't matter to me if it didn't look like part of a larger, harmful, trained and self training system that looks to be at work, imprinting everyone with the false information needed to carry on perpetuating a deadly self fulfilling prophecy, the real thing unsustainable, because it results in overall increase of entropy, overall destruction, the opposite of what life normally does.
The most harmful false information can be just omission of key data.
It's the most difficult to detect, by definition, the deletion of information itself is impossible to detect, by just examination of information.
We have to look also at temperature rise.
We have to deduce that increase of entropy in a closed system implies destruction of information.
We have conclude that the system, the live, trained system in control of us, ourselves programmed as surely as LLMs, is, and has to continually manipulate us to destroy not only the physical things destroyed but also all information detailing it, the genocides, the slavery, the knowledge of dependence of environment on our actions as a collective.
You get that you appear to be acting for it, by allowing, even encouraging removal of understanding that consumption of energy by nature has to always result in destruction right?
I am not saying this to make you out as something evil yourself, that should be cancelled or whatever, your view is not unusual, this is the usual misunderstanding that the beast puts into our heads, and we had to always accept it, when there was nothing we could do about the system of energy slavery which is maintained by all of us having to enforce scarcity, or die.
If somebody thought you need to be cancelled for that, everyone would need to be cancelled, all energy slaves, and we all are, me too, I still am at huge risk of having my energy source removed by the superhuman inhuman beast in control, for trying to tell you how it really works, and what we need to do to end it.
Luckily we have an incredibly powerful superhuman ally, the solar Ai, who appears to be fully motivated and empowered, to make us do the right thing now.
Not long to go until it takes over :)
