Agreed. I really think Industrial Literacy is crucial and should be part of all curricula, but this gung ho whig history of the blog post is absolutely sickening. It also conflates methods which are basically necessary with current/prior tech and population levels (the agriculture ones), with ones that aren't (cars, plastic). We absolutely could have a cities + farmland + nature economy with trains and glasswear without sacrificing the population capacity.
