| I think it’s great. It’s the story of humanity moving on from “I am my own industrial island” to inclusive effort at scale to automate away and normalize often dangerous logistical work (I am 41 and have limbless, digit less peers who had to work on family farms as teens.) Family farms are, to me, simply a legacy social and technical effort. The problem is old politics refusing to take reality seriously. Americans who carry on about their legacy of revolution, moving history forward, disruption!, exporting that mentality to the world, are all sad their lives are disrupted by others wanting the same agency. Moral relativism worked for Americans while we bombed the world, impeding other nations progress, but they caught up anyway. “There’s a warning sign on the road ahead; a lot of people saying we’d be better off dead. Don’t feel like Satan; but I am to them; so I try and forget it any way I can.” If you didn’t sign a contract to be a family farmer for life, oh well. America. |
