The universe is not antifragile due to the second law of thermodynamics, which states that entropy (disorder) always increases over time in a closed system. This means that, ultimately, everything tends toward decay, disorder, and heat death rather than gaining strength from chaos.

The standard implication is such. I think antifragility turns entropy into a quantum mechanical study about reactions to stress/disorder/uncertainty. More to come.

Classic pseudo-intellectual hand-waving: when challenged, shift to vague, science-y buzzwords.

Rather perfect to call a specific argument about quantum mechanics “pseudoscience” haha. And I also acknowledged you may not be wrong. Thanks for reading!
