This will never happen anymore than laypeople will start thinking about the engineering principles behind building the reliable internal combustion engine in our cars. We want things that work without us thinking about it, and that's the end of it.
- keepamovin 3y agoHmm, I don't know about that. While I agree with your point that we shouldn't have to think about the intricacies of operation of nice things, to some extent that's not true and there are things we should think about, because we need to be responsible ourselves. In other words, I think there's a certain level of trickle down expertise, and in fact, verily that's how culture grows its knowledge over time. Look at the history of hygeine: at first people laughed in the face of invisible germs, now people know to wash hands, and even, recently, they wear masks when sick. Among a plethora of other hygenic practices. Yes, there will always be hold outs: dubious food-truck kitchens I be lookin' at ya--but overall I think people do learnings over time and pass em down to the subsequent generationisms. Or don't ya think so? :) ;p xx
