The 2nd Law relates to thermodynamics, and you can be sure if life violated it, it wouldn't be referred to as a 'Law'. Life sustains complexity by exchanging the synthetic energy with greater disorder elsewhere in the form of low energy waste product molecules.

Atheists are still regarded as worse than Islamic extremists, and while a Muslim can run for Congress, atheists are considered unelectable.

racocn8 comments on Feb 19, 2022:

Overlap maybe a little bit... Per Google: Freethinker: a person who rejects accepted opinions, especially those concerning religious belief. Deist: belief in the existence of a supreme being, specifically of a creator who does not intervene in the universe. The term is used chiefly of an intellectual movement of the 17th and 18th centuries that accepted the existence of a creator on the basis of reason but rejected belief in a supernatural deity who interacts with humankind.

racocn8 comments on Feb 19, 2022:

Twelve years ago, I discovered that all the indica strains had been compromised. The literature claimed that Indica contained CBD rather than THC, and perhaps, way back when, that was true. However, all the strains I tested contained mostly THC, and at best, a few percent of CBD. My findings were relayed to an organization of growers and gave birth to the 'CBD Project'. The growers knew that CBD had value and undertook to recreate strains that mainly produced CBD. This effort was mostly abandoned when they found they could get all the CBD they wanted from Hemp. Even now, it is unlikely that so-called Indica strains have much CBD in them. Good dispensaries should have certificates of analysis to tell you the actual breakdown. Also, hemp cigarettes are available which have less than 0.3 % THC.

Soviet officials drove these peasants off their farms by force... Stalin... already had arrested tens of thousands of Ukrainian teachers and intellectuals and removed Ukrainian-language books from schools and libraries.... ...the Soviet leader used the grain shortfall as an excuse for even more intense anti-Ukrainian repression. https://www.history.com/news/ukrainian-famine-stalin Thus, Putin's claim of genocide comes off as cynical and depraved.
