You might have learned in grade school that the universe always becomes more disorganized. The temperature we usually think of is related to a disorganized energy in an object. If we want to heat an object, then, the universe becomes more disorganized, and no one cares. If we want to cool it, there must be a compensating disorganization somewhere else in the universe to compensate. We might expect these processes to be more elaborate, or at least that there is something different between the two.

As to why the universe becomes more disorganized, you might try explaining it by pushing up your glasses, frowning, waving your free hand and say,"Statistics." And you wouldn't be wrong.

Or you could say things happen faster when there's more energy around, but that's probably wrong, but it sounds kind of believable. Or you could look smug and tell them "I'm not a historian" and/or "I'm too lazy to crunch the numbers", but someone might believe you could get the answer if you sat down for a minute and that you're better than historians or people who work, which is good for a quick high.

Exactly why you refused to say something normal like "Haha maybe" or "That's not convincing", and instead chose to zero in on "quick high". Unless you meant to say you recently quit.
