I’ve recently been thinking a lot about self-destruction.

I’ve been thinking about how passion and destruction are interlinked. I’ve also thought that for creation to exist, destruction must proceed it.

I’ve had quite the difficulty to try and make sense of these feelings. I thought I’d try to explain and explore this idea with other people.

So here I am - Let’s start from the premise above.

    Well, when we get into more technical bits and less big ideas or structures, I think the idea of destruction and creation can become a bit more absurdist sounding.

    I think I’d say that adding the sticks of RAM does ‘destroy’ the computer as it was to make it have more RAM. It functionally no longer offers the same functionality (it can offer more).

    And if we were to think about it in a software project sense (and this is getting a bit further from the hardware example) - adding a feature is an additive function but to accomplish that, you are sacrificing some of the simplicity that was there before the addition.

    Does that make sense?
