Who uses it now, Penisnino? Not that you know anything about it so
that's a rhetorical question.

If you then use summum bonum as a definition of
a supreme being then you might or might not proceed
from there.

I am thinking that statistical thermodynamics is the
start of 'information theory'.  The 'probability
of a state divided by all possible states'.  Or
Boltzmann's S = k log W.  Then if you just go
for heat flow definitions then heat tends to
flow from hot objects to cold objects rather
than cold objects to hot objects, which I think
tends to be true.

I generally do not think that true concepts become
outdated.  They are more eternal than the universe.
