Everyone knows creation takes longer than destruction, but interestingly maintenance and repair as systematic tendencies take longer than creation. Not in a per-instance/marginal cost sense but in terms of the knowledge/skill/infrastructure needed for a repair culture.

But even the simplest repair, like gluing 2 pieces together, assumes more time, knowledge, inventory (glue), and skill than creation (at your locus obviously, not the thing factory or glue factory)

In Hindu trinity, maintenance > destruction >> creation. Brahma (creator) is basically awol after creation, Siva (destroyer) is prominent, but Vishnu (preserver) dominates. I’d guess by temple count that Vishnu = 10x Siva = 1000x Brahma. I’ve never even been to a Brahma temple.

Interestingly symbolic that Vishnu has 10 avatars, a couple of which (Rama and Krishna) possibly each outnumber Siva by temple count. Could be interpreted as: maintenance and repair work manifest in a lot more varied ways.

There is in fact only 1 major temple to Brahma afaik. Creation is just sort of a one-shot deal. The rest is post-sales customer service aka Vishnu with many convenient service locations around the world. Due to high call volumes, wait times may be high. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Brahma_Temple,_Pushkar …

Polytheism is the way to go for DIY types. You don’t want the generic customer service line. You want the direct line to the god in charge of L-Bracket Type C.

I find it troubling and suspicious that it is often cheaper to replace something than fix it. I suspect that the cost of replacement is artificially low. Perhaps we face bizarre trade-offs because our economy is way off the optimal path

You’re not taking into account externalized costs. This mindset is what lead to the pollution we have today.
