More’s law

Posted on 11 October 2011

More’s law is a theory that seeks to explain how and why our lives are accelerating. At it’s simplest, it says that we are all caught in a race against our own mortality.  French philosopher John Francois Lyotard captured the mood when he said (bad translation follows):

The human race is in the grip of the necessity of having to evacuate the solar system in 4.5 billion years.

My own contribution to the t-shirt printing industry is:

Evolution is the race against entropy.

All this is a long-winded way of saying that I’m currently trapped in my own mini vortex of working around the clock. I’m hoping normal transmission will resume shortly.
