Recently, I've been watching short videos in the live channel about jade and Hetian jade for half a month, and I picked up gemology again. I was unexpectedly inspired by the connection between thermodynamics and Freud's death drive while discussing the physical basis of mineral coloration principles. I found that there were indeed scholars who interpreted the death drive through thermodynamics five years ago.

It turns out that Freud was always influenced by physicalism.

Due to the second law of thermodynamics, life can no longer be defined as a point-like resistance against the universe's tendency to increase entropy. Instead, life should be viewed as "a dynamic process of continuous destruction (entropy increase) and continuous creation (local order)." This resonates perfectly with the wisdom of love (connecting and accommodating) and hate (negating and rejecting) that we have unearthed.

This association is also reflected in self-organized movements. Not all systems move towards dead silence; driven by external forces, they may emerge with local order in the increase of entropy, which is self-organization. This means that in decentralized, complex interactions, groups may naturally form certain rules and structures.

If psychology can be inspired by physics, then organizational behavior should also incorporate a bit of physics as a foundational study of organizational dynamics. However, this layer of design is not present in university courses, and professors have not mentioned it, which is somewhat regrettable.

Indeed, scavenging is necessary; perhaps one day the random bits of scattered knowledge I pick can piece together some puzzle🫨.
