"There is an ultimate destination to the universe. An indelible end to which all things must come.

No action of ours can alter the course much, no matter how grand it may be. All memory of Caesar and Alexander, Jefferson and Napoleon, will share the same fate as the worker in the factory or the unnamed nomad already forgotten by time.

This is not a teleology that claims some esoteric purpose to existence. It has nothing to do with God or Geist, no matter the brilliance of those who disagree. It is a simple, immutable fact of Science:

Energy must always disperse. Entropy will always increase given enough time. All things seek equilibrium[...]

We are the universe come alive, not to know itself, as popular memes and philosophers suggest, but so that it may, as all living things must, one day die.

But how beautiful is the process! Awe-inspiring novelty emerges at every turn. What may come tomorrow? Anything. Everything.”
