Hello everyone, First off, that was a great first thread on Tools for Conviviality. Secondly, for session two, we’ll have our synchronous discussion tomorrow night (Monday, June 29th) at 8 PM (EST). I’ll post another thread that should arrive in your inbox around 7:30 PM.
Engineered things not having a smell. The importance of cooking. Working with tools you have made (or repaired). The importance, to me, of not working with tools, things or systems you do not understand, that you’re not in theory able to build for yourself.
Was there an author you were reading who was writing about technology in China? I thought something like that was referenced and sounds like an interesting topic.
Remembering Illich: A Conversation with Carl Mitcham

Unfortunately 8 pm EST is 2 am in France so I probably won’t be able to join you tomorrow
