Like Dr. Ball's Systemantics - systems can operate for a long time in failure mode. I think he observed no complex system designed from scratch can work, it will always fail. By tearing down what we have to replace it, I sense we may test this theory.

Everything in life goes through cycles. We tend to dislike some permanent truths because they're not fixable.

People get rich writing books about the obvious basic workings of the universe and throwing in what they think are startling revelations.

Hives are constructed beautifully. Eventually they get unwieldy and somebody has to move out and start over.
