Where are all the horses augmented by technology doing the plowing?
- dataflow 5y agoWell we are destroying nature. And don't forget the whole "sustainable agriculture" movement, and recent attentions brought to how plowing degrades soil, etc. (Just responding to your point; not claiming the parent is right or wrong.)
- robotastronaut 5y agoI think in your scenario we’re augmenting humans, not horses.
- nawgz 5y agoIs this a trick question? The horse does not naturally have a plough attached, as far as I am aware.
- obiwan14 5y agoThe horse or cow was not put there to plow our fields. We just figured out a way to get them to do that, until we developed enough to figure out ways to build more efficient methods.
- dredmorbius 5y agoThe plough was meant to augment the nature of the soil, not the horse. The plough turns out to mine the soil, not augment it. https://www.npr.org/2021/02/24/967376880/new-evidence-shows-fertile-soil-gone-from-midwestern-farms https://www.npr.org/2021/02/24/967376880/new-evidence-shows-...
