Nature vs. Mankind
Exploring the Balance
The Second Law of Thermodynamics tells us that closed systems naturally tend towards disorder, a concept known as entropy. This principle suggests that the universe, seen as a closed system, will gradually experience energetic decay. Yet, within local, open systems, a battle plays out where order can sometimes prevail over chaos, reducing statistical entropy.
Entropic and Negentropic Agents
In this dynamic, some systems contribute to increasing disorder by decaying or spreading chaos, acting as "Entropic Agents". On the other hand, some systems strive to create order or reduce disorder, earning the name "Negentropic Agents". Humans, initially Negentropic Agents, have become problematic, transforming into Entropic Agents through excessive actions.
Human Impact on Nature
Human activities, such as using antibiotics, herbicides, insecticides, polluting the environment, and deforestation, disrupt the delicate order on Earth. Nature reacts by striving to restore balance, either by reducing the number of Entropic Agents or by diminishing the human population.
Mechanisms of Balance
Nature employs several mechanisms to address this imbalance:
1. The Malthusian Mechanism: Limited resources lead to conflicts, famine, and disease, which naturally reduce the human population, thus decreasing Entropic Agents.
2. The Assimilative Mechanism: Human-created problems like antibiotic resistance, pollution-related diseases, and the emergence of new illnesses such as AIDS and avian flu, reflect the internalization of human-induced Entropy.
3. The Cognitive Mechanism: Humans, using reason and technology, make choices like birth control and abortion to limit population growth.
By integrating these mechanisms, nature counterbalances the disorder generated by humans, striving to restore equilibrium to Earth's ecosystem.
