Our gestating Machine God doesn't yet have hands as good as ours, so good this is good advice.

We had a system of overproduction of sentient office equipment, who waste their time on pointless Zoom calls and sending emails that no one reads. That had to end sooner or later, and was already about to collapse on its own. BS job holders are miserable anyway. Let's give these people purpose (closing the gap between activity and tangible output), free them from debt-slavery, and fix all the broken infrastructure around us.

Welding is not hard to learn. It just takes practice.


Nope. Try TIG on aluminum or titanium. I will never be able to do this well enough to get certified because, simply put, I'm well past my prime dexterity years. But I can still write some damn fine embedded code.


...neither of those sound the least bit dumb to me.


Which is why theres evidence that it doesn’t work to help us learn from the mistakes of the past.
