My sister is spinning wool. On a spinning wheel. Watching Norwegian women spin wool directly from sheared sheep. And I am thinking (with some degree of seriousness) that the industrialization of farming was a good thing – farming is hard and unnatural for man. And that it’s hard to argue with the value of electricity that freed women from the hard work of washing and cleaning. And it is very hard to argue with the value of electronic information systems. But as far as I can tell, there is very little in this world that has benefitted from industrial manufacturing and assembly. Wood and Brick were much better for us than steel and concrete and glass. And one hope I have for ‘printing’ is that printed things, assembled by hand, or designed and assembled locally will eradicate the centralized and industrialized capital that has been so bad for us.
