Mark and I talk to Howard Bloom, author of a new book The Case of the Sexual Cosmos: Everything You Know About Nature Is Wrong. It's a provocative, paradigm-shifting book that challenges two of science’s core assumptions: the Second Law of Thermodynamics (entropy) and the notion that humans are destroying the Earth.   Bloom argues that the cosmos is driven by a "First Law of Flamboyance," where life and complexity emerge through creativity and sexual processes, not decay. He reinterprets the universe’s history—from the Big Bang to human evolution—as a story of relentless invention, where sex and gene-shuffling produce unique "oddballs" that probe new possibilities. Bloom posits that humans are not savaging the planet but are part of a cosmic project to "garden the solar system and green the galaxy." Described as meticulously researched and engaging, it’s a bold, optimistic counterpoint to apocalyptic narratives, blending science, history, and philosophy.
