🎙️ New podcast episode out! https://open.substack.com/pub/theforumatq/p/entropy-why-everything-falls-apart?r=4jhzp3&utm_campaign=post&utm_medium=web

This week at The Forum, Danny explored the idea of entropy — why disorder is natural, why life is hard, and how we can shape meaning by choosing where to put our energy.
