Conservative vs. liberal entropy

E-Mail Print

Thermodynamics has an analogy in politics.

Liberals believe in taking from the rich and distributing it to the less advantaged. This leads to everyone having exactly the same resources, whereupon there is no incentive to do anything, much as the analogous heat death of the universe. This concept I call liberal entropy.

Conservatives believe that the economic engine of this country is much like the glowing end of a steel bar. Even the very most distant end of the bar will become warmer. I call this concept conservative entropy.
