all systems tend toward disorder. it is the law of entropy that everything breaks down, and this is probably the most immutably provable concept in existence. the weeds will take over your lawn, and eventually rot themselves. your body will grow old and tired and break down, and so will your mind. every system in the entire universe is subject to this law without exception.

there is only one force in the universe that can fight entropy, and that is energy. it takes effort and while you can use energy to fight entropy, entropy always wins out in the end. that doesnt mean we shouldnt still fight it.

not sure you're really explaining this right...

I don't think it's "the most immutably provable concept". a priori concepts can be "immutably provable", but not a posteriori concepts (ones that require observation to know about). it's strong enough to be a law of physics, but that's it.

the weeds will take over your lawn, and eventually rot themselves.

we don't have the life/death cycle because of entropy, that's more related to natural selection. as long as the sun shines, earth has unending low entropy. that's how life is here in the first place.

there is only one force in the universe that can fight entropy, and that is energy.

no, high entropy is still energy, it's just not usable energy. low entropy is usable energy (you could call it "order").
