God gave us bug splattered eyes for a reason.

Our brains and eyes evolved on this planet so that we can survive. We don’t need to see reality as it truly is, I believe that reality is far more fractal, complex and chaotic. We don’t need to see this world as it truly is, only what we need to survive with. We need to recognize food from tree bark. Danger from pine needles. We need to know who to mate with. If we saw reality as it truly is we could never survive. We have limited perceptions for good reason. But we design algorithms and technology through a limited perception. We can’t see all patterns as they truly are, however like the unabomer wrote about. We grow increasingly dependent upon the technology we create. Technology that is inherently flawed. Our reality is often times shaped by this inherently flawed technology splashing flawed bugs on our already chipped and dirty windshield we call perception.

Both humans and the technology we create are fallible, subject to errors, biases, and limitations. Our perception of reality can be further distorted or influenced by the flaws inherent in the technology we rely on.

Technology, while designed to enhance our lives and expand our capabilities, can also introduce its own set of challenges and complexities. Software bugs, hardware malfunctions, biases in algorithms, and unintended consequences of technological systems are just a few examples of how technology can shape our reality in unexpected ways.

Moreover, our increasing dependence on technology means that these flaws can have far-reaching consequences, affecting everything from our daily interactions to global systems and infrastructure. As we integrate technology more deeply into our lives, it becomes increasingly important to recognize and mitigate these inherent flaws, whether through rigorous testing, ethical considerations, or ongoing refinement and improvement.

Ultimately, while technology can serve as a powerful tool for progress and innovation, it’s essential to approach its development and deployment with a critical eye and a commitment to addressing its inherent flaws. By doing so, we can strive to create a more equitable, reliable, and sustainable technological landscape that better serves humanity’s needs and aspirations.
