One of the first patterns we observe in the world is the lifecycle, appearing in organisms, thoughts, and actions alike. There is something both unsettling and beautiful in recognizing that we are bound to this recurring loop.
As an old friend once taught me, everything walks on a lifecycle and each lifecycle has a growth point then, mirrored to it, a declining point, and both of these points are like the head of a needle that the entire lifecycle revolves around, where both ends meet yet never do.
The Increase of Bugs
When we take a walk in the world of tech, this pattern also appears at an operational level. Where everything once was but a simple and clear print statement, evolving overtime to be something complex yet beautiful to observe. This evolution came with a heavy cost.
The rise of complexity in tech births weaknesses, vulnerabilities and threats, which is seen heavily where the rate of bugs especially rose with the newest feature, AI, pushing systems to operate at a function and speed that we just started to comprehend and see, this concern and fear is valid however that is not the real issue.
The Decrease of Bugs
Opposite to the bugs, stand bugs too, the actual living creatures, and here one asks this question:
When was the last time you saw a butterfly?
The expansion of our technological craft happens on the home of thousands of living creatures, ecosystems that existed long before the human kind itself, trees, flowers, bugs and animals in all their sizes are being killed, and for what purpose?
The death of many native butterflies, bees, moths, ants, even the things we hate and disgust, the variety of organisms that underpin pollination, soil health, and ecological balance, the part we tend to forget almost always, mother nature.
The Lifecycle
Here we see our worlds lifecycle, the elimination of the conditions that allow natural bugs to exist, while simultaneously creating the conditions for technological bugs to thrive, and this time we aren't the observers through our design choices and actions we became the true cause to this chaos.
