Abstract

This paper expands on the behavioral-sink hypothesis by synthesizing John B. Calhoun's "Universe 25" experiment with the Second Law of Thermodynamics, Earth-system science, evolutionary biology, digital sociology, labor economics, and Yuval Noah Harari's theory of information networks in Nexus. It explores how techno-capitalism, Artificial Intelligence acceleration, and thermodynamic entropy intersect with demographic contraction, planetary boundaries, and anti-natalist philosophy.
