This reminds me of a conversation I had with an archaeologist when I was hiking in Spain. We were in Burgos and looking at the beautiful cathedral. Archaeologist <drinking a sip of beer>: “see we find really good precision work on parts of cathedrals that nobody would ever see - this is because they had a deep relationship with good and we’re convinced they had to do a good job.” Me: “or you know, they were craftsmen and prided themselves on quality craftsmanship and doing a good job.” People back in the day probably didn’t think any different than we do - I don’t only do a good job when I know someone is watching and I reckon people building cathedrals didn’t either.
