what does the existence of computer viruses say about human nature?
can we as humans create anything that we can avoid destroying or will not eventually destroy itself?

Systems are by nature entropic, which you already understand.
Can a human create anything?
Is a human, creating, a reflection or a mere echo of creation itself?
If it is, let's say, an imaginary creation, does this imagination have a beginning, like a solid line, a sure demarcation, or is its derivation a series of points on an infinite continuum?
