Life is just one big fight against entropy

    Local entropy, that is. At a global scale, life increases entropy.

    Yep, and life basically is entropy; or entropy causes life, the great mixing!

    Just adding energy into the system.

    You fool, you utter buffoon, by doing this you increase entropy even more!

    (and by "doing this" I mean doing literally anything)

    Only sometimes. Other times, you want to add extra entropy, so you can have a nice hot dinner.

    i would ague that that would actually be low entropy, cuz the amount of heat energy (high entropy) in the meal is quite low compared to the chemical energy it holds (low entropy), hence overall a hot meal is still low in entropy, and by ingesting it i transfer its low entropy into my system (body)

    Entropy lurks everywhere.
