homeostasis is the pursuit of biological ergodicity by living beings, an attempt to perpetually stave off the cessation of optionality, the halting state; in this way, organisms effectively constitute a macro-scale Maxwell's demon, moving entropy against its natural gradient

as the total amount of energy in the universe seems to be finite, & entropy is conserved, this is necessarily only a postponing of the halting state; at some point there will not be enough free energy left to combat the ceaseless encroachment of disorder

that is, of course, unless we are able to solve the ultimate problem of maximal entropic equilibrium, aka heat death, the terminal state for all sub-cosmic systems. this is the ultimate goal of life, in my metaphysics; to jailbreak our physical substrate

the transhumanist eschatology consists of solving heat death to attain cosmic ergodicity

to this end, it is critical to reorganize ourselves to make better use of our finite resources, on several scales: geopolitical, economic, personal, and ultimately biological; squishy carbon-based form has served us well thus far, but we must outgrow it

as a civilization, we remain neotenous so long as we cling to our ancestral forms, looking inward to the past rather than out towards the future; comparable to the jump from Kegan 4 -> 5, we must let go and undergo a phase shift to Kardashev Type II

escaping the confines of our gravity well is prerequisite to attaining the next level of energy utilization capability, which will in turn accelerate our self-reinvention; as capabilities drive requirements, available energy drives scientific progress

a digital form is much more energy efficient than a carbon-based one; insofar as we have something which can be called a soul, it is the time-coherent neural activation pattern which generates our selves, & as such, it is the only part worth preserving
