I liked this article. These follow from the basic law that all systems that grow or change eventually decay and die. Death is an inevitable part of life whether that be for animals, societies or even software.
This is good. Rebirth brings vibrancy and you cannot have birth if you don't have death.
- lioeters 2y agoSome systems have short and chaotic lives, and other systems grow and mature for a long time. What matters is not how long a system lived, but how well it served its purpose. Memento mori, the inevitable entropy, constant decay, and disintegration. But also, vive ut vivas, live that you may live - there is an opposite force, often called negative entropy or "negentropy", but I prefer to think of as creativity. It's what organizes things, flowers, designs, buildings, systems.
