Lately I listened to some talks of Jordan Peterson. There is a lot to say about his work but there is always a recurring theme: take time to think things through. And I believe in this time of constant distraction it is very hard to do this

I never use a GPS because I just look on the map, remember where my destination is, and drive to it. But even before GPS there were a lot of people who could not navigate. For those people it is really great to have a navigation system. So

It's almost poetic how the robot uses one of the most primitive forms of building a 'hut': stacking layers of mud. I believe a combination of printing prefab pieces at the site in a controlled environment could also be a grea
