i have a lot of time to think while im in the "silence" of the shop i work at -- and heres one that came to me.
- we have come so incredibly far technologically its astonishing - but whats more astonishing is how actually little weve actually advanced in the areas that really matter... with a few small exceptions - everything from material preparations to execution and builds of ALL of our basic infrastructures of society is basically the same as it was in the day of kings court. Little has really changed in road forming, construction, metal working, sewage systems, etc -- it really makes me happy to know that ive spent a lot of my time (said wasting by some) of my life learning bricklaying, metal work, and carpentry -- and know - that these are not just skills and trades - but the livelihood of soo many who came before me - its kinda nuts -- we may be able to built an 80g computer that fits in your pocket - but a working class of heat and hammer nails and brick and mud are still the foundation of our society -
I thought it was something special to share
