which is a transformation, since material objects are energy.
well, by example, you cut down a forest, and saw it into 2 x4. you get money (goods services something of value).
Or, you try as cheaply as you can to extract oil from a deepwater well, foregoing maintenance, doing some paperwork, assuring without care that everything is hunkydory, which in turn blows the well, you get a bonus, and move on to other profit opportunities, obfuscating and railing that the government is fucking you out of jobs. Hey, whatever.
See, I am of the type.....hey, goddammit, I own a business, I drive a caddie, I own a cottage at the lake ....
I can see the working guy saying hey, I work at your business, I bring you money, I am instrumental in 'creating' your wealth, I want a caddie, I want a cottage at the lake....
the creation and destruction as well as the entropy ideas are human concepts, they are actually not real and physical.
we do not create or destroy, only transform, and your house falling apart is of no concern to the universe, in the fullness of time, the earth goes back to order, and your house is buried and discomboobilated, and future generations are unaware of its ever having existed. You blow up earth? Universe don't care, burn up in the sun....whatever, no big loss, only of some trivial and proximate import to you and I as long as we live and breathe.
But why do you ask such questions, hell, pick up a kindergarden primer, the answers have been given hundreds of years ago. You will not enlighten me of some other reality by sophism here. They don't exist. questions have been asked and answered long ago, there is no new light to be shed upon this matter.
