Complexity Revisited

As a civilization, we have always been trying to increase complexity. Increasing complexity has its positives and benefits, but as time goes on, increasing complexity will just get more and more expensive and less effective. Increasing complexity will in fact create more professional jobs, but it’s up for debate if that is cost effective and good for the overall plan. This will make us more reliant on those professionals rather than us learning the skills to fix the problem ourselves.
