Challenges

[Life is full of challenges. And I'm full of it.]

An animation counting the natural numbers. The digits periodically decay into set theory symbols, then into periods, then vanish, leaving a single question mark.

Life is full of challenges. And I’m full of it.

Some of them have names. Some not.

And sometimes we just don’t know what to do with the amount of challenges we already know about.

When there’s a lot happening and we lose control over life, then we’d probably say we’re stepping into chaos.

But maybe it’s not bad?

Maybe we just start accepting that life is not about control. It’s about accepting that chaos is our natural environment. We get life out of order and we don’t know anything about that, so… it’s not our order. We need to accept that.

We just need to find our own orders out of undefined nature. Recognise patterns. Accept that life doesn’t belong to us.

We are making order out of chaos. Again.

The idea behind the Aleph 2 video is by Martin Krzywinski, and mine is just some challenge to reinterpret the concept.
