If you understand Newton’s Second law of Thermodynamics, then you need all you need to know about me, and you probably have a better more accurate understanding the principles of the Libertarian Party.
I understand and use the scientific method as the best way to understand nature and physical existence. Human history and all scientific research has proven that Newton's Second Law of thermodynamics is true in physical science and for all manmade systems both physical and relational. The second laws fundamentally states: All changes occur such that at least some energy disperses: the total concentrated or organized energy of the universe decreases, the total diffuse or disorganized energy of the universe increases. Entropy measures the amount of order in a system and the universe.
Entropy can never decrease spontaneously. Unless purposeful controlled energy, aka work, is introduced into a system, entropy increases. All systems naturally go from order to disorder. Applied to life, the fundamental concept of entropy is that if you don’t take care of something (work on it) it turns to shit (disorder).
I've seen the effect of entropy in my own life, if you look you can see how entropy affects yours. I use practical application of this scientific principle to better understand my life, and to make my life better. I work on the principle that what I don't purposefully maintain will deteriorate.
The Law of Entropy, is not compromising, has no feeling, and is an absolute LAW of Nature. To accomplish anything you must add purposeful work. You cannot coast through life without purpose and accomplish much. Randomly putting energy into something without purpose will only add chaos to your life. Just "doing" something won't fix anything. A forest fire adds lots of energy to the woods, but it won't turn a single tree into table. To make a table from a tree, takes purposeful ordered energy in the form of skilled work. Absent intelligent application of controlled amounts of energy, nature will always create more disorder.
I value accomplishment, because every human being on the planet can accomplish things in proportion to the abilities they possess, if they will just do what has proven to be effective. Because not every person has the same natural abilities, and not every person will choose to purposefully put in the same work, the outcomes for everybody will be different. To be just and honorable, we must insure that opportunities must be equal, but because of entropy, we must accept the reality that outcomes will be different. The reality is entropy - the inevitable decline into disorder, built into the fabric of the universe – is the true nemesis to what I can accomplish.
Because I believe in the scientific method, I value logic over feelings and emotion. This means that I believe that libertarian political ideas are the best political expression of Christian values and where implemented has produced more order (less chaos) and more good for more people than any other political ideology every devised by man. This means that I also reject both socialism and anarchy as they have repeatedly proven to increase entropy, and bring not only chaos but privation to the people subject to their implementation. As such your assertion that is contrary to evidence will dismissed.
I like good food, strong drink, well-crafted motorcycles and guns, good writing, talented musicianship, thoughtful art, I appreciate and respect both the talent God gave and effort it takes to create those things. I appreciate beautiful women, femininity and masculinity, and know the difference.
I understand you may have a different opinions about these things, and I respect your opinions at precisely the same level of enthusiasm with which your respect mine.
