+title: On tar pits (or, the second about)
+author: Lucian Mogoșanu
+date: April 24, 2016
+---
+
+Humans' understanding of the universe is terrifyingly limited. Yet from
+thermodynamics we know (or we think we know) that by the arrow of
+entropy nature tends to fall into a general state of disorder. This is
+the zeroth tar pit.
+
+The first, second, third and so on up to the nth are most of the things,
+beasts, people and phenomena surrounding us, from the actual sticky
+thing to more metaphorical notions such as Kafka's perfect bureaucracy,
+or just the fat lady standing in front of you at the queue in the post
+office.
+
+In the same category lies a tar pit uniquely attributable to man, that
+creature more widely (although more and more narrowly) known as ζῷον
+πολιτικόν. It, like the Boltzmann constant itself, is also difficult to
+grasp, but you might know it as that feeling which (naturally!) keeps
+you from aspiring to become *more* human. It is laziness; it is
+stagnation; it is tiredness, and it is ultimately death.
+
+This blog, my, Lucian Mogoșanu's blog, describes its author's struggle
+through his own personal tar pit, as well as accounts and critiques of
+some of his times'. I hope I will have at least captured some of the
+more interesting ones, much to the amusement of future alien
+anthropologists.
+
+The Tar Pit is an ever incomplete and thus necessarily flawed
+publication. After all, tar pits might not even be enumerable.
+
+(Note: the previous [about page][about] was left online for historical
+reasons.)
