  1. arkady,

    an ergodic process does not account for the complexity of a protein molecule of the 9th order of complexity which based on purely statistical caculations would have a chance of 1 X 10 to the 243 power of developing of its own.

    lechacal,

    right, the larger system is entropic,
    everything that scientists have observed in the workings of the universe seems to follow a pattern of energy decay.
    the small examples on Earth of anti-entropic life beg the question itself.

  2. While O’Donnell’s résumé has proved largely fictional, one crucial biographical plotline is true: She has had trouble finding a job, holding on to a home and paying her taxes. In this, at least, she is like many Americans in the Great Recession, including the angry claque that found its voice in the Tea Party. For a G.O.P. that is even more in thrall to big money than the Democrats, she couldn’t be a more perfect decoy.

    By latching on to O’Donnell’s growing presence, the Rove-Boehner-McConnell establishment can claim it represents struggling middle-class Tea Partiers rather than Wall Street potentates and corporate titans.

    O’Donnell’s value is the same as that other useful idiot, Michael Steele, who remains at the Republican National Committee only because he can wave the banner of “diversity” over a virtually all-white party that alternately demonizes African-Americans, Latinos, gays and Muslims.
