Is it possible to reverse entropy, or are we fundamentally doomed?

Pic related, it's the Maxwell's demon.

We as Life are the maggots consuming the Universe's decaying body while shitting out an even further decayed waste of what we consumed, just to sustain ourselves. No entity can exist within this Universe which somehow doesn't do that. Even Black Holes do it and so does every star to a lesser extent.

Is it more unpleasant to live in a system where the average entropy is high or where the average entropy is low?

Nope, fundamentally doomed.

Yes. Non-chaotic consciousness is proof that the second law of thermodynamics is not all-encompassing (if it is even true at all).

Entropy is constant, what would reversing it do?

Well you can reverse entropy of the observed system is not closed and you apply work for it
