Reading this actually makes me think the opposite: That we basically do the exact same processes but with the production obfuscated away and at a larger scale.

When you peel back the layers of garment manufacture today it's basically the same processes and materials as this series lays out.

What I basically mean is, I’m really glad I don’t have to spend my time and effort making clothes from scratch or smelting iron, or farming wheat. Or any of the many tasks that led up to making that even possible.

I’m really glad someone else has figured out how to do the many, many extremely time consuming steps (like domesticating sheep and wheat and flax) so that we can now enjoy those benefits.

But I also then feel like, shit, I really ought to be doing something for the world. They literally worked ALL this out for me. I barely have anything I need to do to survive and live an easy life, compared to back then at least.

I believe, that you both think the very same idea just using different words.
