Joseph Tracy sez:
> Is Maxwell’s Demon Clerk Maxwell’s joke solution our power quests made to suggest our dependence on a divine creative life force that is not about to serve our technological appetites, but is giving us the mysteries of life and death in the guise of a demon as the guiding wisdom, the legitimate rites of passage into cosmic harmony.
Not only is it not going to serve "our technological appetites", but we will abuse whatever finite and fractional part of that energy creating the "sin" of unforseen, damaging externalities and typical, greedy abuse. We may think we have garnered/harnessed a new energy source, but we only begin to slice off a veneer of power that we don't completely understand or comprehend how to utilize without waste, abuse, and division.
In solidarity,
James
