Bit of a leap from "heat cannon, of itself, pass from one body to a hotter body"?

Also it misses the most important thing: thermodynamics is what lets our complicated processes exist in the first place. The mental model I use is that when you first drop food coloring into water there is low entropy. After an hour it is mixed—high entropy. But in the middle is when you get the complicated swirling structures. In the cosmic sense those swirls represent stars and galaxies and life.

Thermodynamics giveth, not only taketh away
