I think of how things are connected to each other and how systems lie within other systems. Everything is connected and feeds off each other in ways that I would not have originally thought of. One example that was used was how the forest lives off all the organisms within it‚ all their actions can be used for energy for another organism. There is no waste and its goal is to reach an equilibrium

    The Great Struggle “If there is no struggle then there is no progress.” This quote was said by Fredrick Douglass as a way to explain how hard the world works against us. Nature has struggle naturally‚ an example is the lion and his prey. A lion has to struggle to catch his prey‚ so he can live‚ and the prey has to struggle to stay away from the lion so it can live. The progress that both have is that they both get to live if they make it through the struggle. When a person hears the word “struggle”

    Progress or Retrogression? “The only branch of science and math concerned with the ‘Limitations’ of Evolution.” As said by Taylor Kirkland on cybernetics: this is the science of evolution. As this occurs and as time goes on human development can only move forwards and as we see these changes happening right before us‚ one can only wonder if we’re heading in the right direction. As presented in the song “Mr. Roboto” written by Dennis DeYoung‚ “Mann and Machine” from Contemporary Canadian Biographies
