I don't believe the 2nd law of thermodynamics. (The most uplifting video I'll ever make.) - Sabine Hossenfelder (video)

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=89Mq6gmPo0s 

My reply:

Oh no! Sabine tried to think! Too bad, she fell flat. She thinks Evolution is God, which will save us from entropy by evolving superior lifeforms, which must be immortal or they would age like everything else. Why don't I buy that? And what kind of Universe would they exist in, with no free energy to do work, even batting their eyelashes? Not even a grain of sand to stand on or to admire, and no eyes to see with? And this is the video she's most proud of? If I were her I'd erase this video and scrub it from the Net or it will be dug up against her for years to come. P.S. A real philosopher might use this to add to the proof that women are inferior to men and shouldn't be issued physics degrees because they can't think for themselves and just fill the Net with nonsense :)
