it is impossible to analyze the process from a thermodynamic perspective. It is a waste of time to even talk about entropy is a discussion about evolution.
Then I have wasted ALL my time.
That is not the case

I have been able to sustain some level of readership above the zero baseline (only me)
since the site went up and was properly advertised. You might suggest this is only entropy setting in but I cannot as I have not made any really significant changes since and even so, it is certainly not as much entropy as associated with your typo of "is" for "in". I trust that typo was not your point.
I am working upto demoting the replicator asto a simple relation to metabolism and the "interactor" into something other than that used against gene selectionism. The weakest part of my argument is not the link to Darwin’s work itself.
The wasted time was in talking too much about selection and not enough about organization (historically in biology). This was a result of failing to consider homogenal systems (particular when asking if viruses in rabbits released in Australia being demes were structured or not).
What makes it so difficult is that one must start from the small and work to a large (size) whereas human intuition (especially in evolutionary theory so far) tends to favor the organism level itself.
So if I had said that motion is independent of the frame for Newton rather than that rest might be thought chemically I would have been better understood (in another thread on EvC) but keeping the order of thought intact is, as much the problem as the solution, when it comes to a right understanding of the application of thermo into living reality of taught evolutionary thought, no matter the road less traveled.
