It just struck me that this solves Graebers useless jobs puzzle! If humanity survived and evolved when there was no time for other jobs non of the other jobs are useful. There was a time before farming too! Imagine that! What a paradox!
Reminds me how we technologied all of the fish out of the water and pretended we got more fish that way.
On the other tab I just learn that trusted publishers are a mechanism. Plants are mechanisms too! If you let them struggle without helping them they will figure out a way. Even if you help them you (the human) are not growing the plant. If you open the curtain you are not rising the sun. The plant grows the plant. We've done a great job making it dependent on our nm technology. It's now pampered, weak, lazy and addicted to convenience. We've made food in our own image. If it could talk it would disagree with me and praise socialism.
