In human thermodynamics, John P. Anderson (1939-) is an American non-academic author noted for his 2006 book Mann’s Doctor Faustus: Gestapo Music, in which he theorizes about stored sub-conscious demonic energy centers in the minds of human humanity that, if stirred, can give rise to phenomena such as the rise of a generic Hitler and mass holocaust. The following is a rare human thermodynamics quotation: [1]

“The novel is in one sense a study in human thermodynamics—what it takes to make certain kinds of total and fundamental changes. In totally starting over, as opposed to gradually starting evolution, the Nazi experience suggests that what is necessary is a collective quantity of energy that is available only in the primitive and unconscious human energy centers, those energy centers deposited by hundreds of thousands of years of survival tactics—the reptile centers in our brains.”
