I agree that my application of thermodynamics wasn't accurate, so I've rewritten that paragraph in the article.

And indeed, the key point to my argument by analogy is the antagonism. That antagonism is rooted in what Schrodinger says about how we struggle to evade entropy by cannabilizing other organisms. We oppose the universal increase of entropy, and prolong our life just by eating and thus by being alive. The antagonism is built into our nature (our biological functions), which makes us inherently anamalous.

I agree that no one understands well either black holes or consciousness. Luckily, my analogy holds in regard to what little we know about them (since it would be false to say that we don't understand them at all).
